Life is not a bed of roses, it always has its ups and downs, most people have given up because they can never motivate themselves to move on, but we can never blame them because it is not easy for them.
To me giving up is not an option, I am glad that I strive hard and overcome all the challenges of the year because what cannot kill me will always make me strong.
I believe everyone has a story to tell when it comes to what they have been through in the past few months, some can make a story out of the challenges of the year while some have nothing to say to thank their creator for having their back.
What I had been through in the past few months' worth to write a story about, should I start with how I was relieved from my work, well I am glad to be who I am today.
Early this year I had a job with an organization and everything seemed good and all roads looked so smooth not until one day when my boss called for a meeting in his office, we gathered and he said he wouldn't be able to pay us because the company is in debt and he had tried all he could but he has to sell the company and the buyer will be coming in the following month so we need to be aware of that, I was so devastated and I can not think straight because of this shocking news, it was like a nightmare for me because I had put all my effort in that company.
Where will I start was the question on my mind, we all know how hard it is to get a job in this country, I mean a well-paying job, not peanut, I have people who look up to me every month, what will I tell them, I have siblings to feed, mother to take care of, I was destabilized with all this thought.
I started to think of how to balance back and also find all the means to look for something to do that was when a thought came to my mind that I needed to learn a skill, I brought out my savings and went for my makeup upgrade because I learned about makeup when I was in school, I paid for the upgrade and it lasted for three months.
After my upgrade, I started telling my friends about what I am into now and most of them helped out by patronizing my brand, I put in more effort into Hive and this has been a side hustle for me, I gathered my HBD with others savings and have my shop with a section where I sell perfumes and also a barbing salon.
I was glad that I never gave up on myself because this makes me strong and I am a boss of my own now I am thankful for this year because it remodified me into a new person and brought out the best in me.
Life has taught me a lesson to always save for the rainy season because if I do not have any savings where would I start, will I start to beg from family or friends? I learned a lot from what I passed through in the year I never gave up on myself
