After much deliberation and confusion about the irony of life I've decided to seek the diverse and wise advice of my fellow travelers in this journey of the unfair life.

Lemme go back a little, you see life was good till it got to the point I lost both parents, that was before my secondary school leaving exam, I finished school on merit (scholarship) so did my younger brother.

I have a senior bro and sis, so after school with no money to further my education, I was advised and taken ( by big bro ) to serve an uncle for four years which ended up turning sour for me, if you are wondering why your guess is as good as mine I was kicked out when I asked for my money. They brought up numerous complains of me, saying I'm a thief, scoundrel and incompetent.


I picked myself and traveled back to my bro's (big) place now married with a wife ( no child then). We'll I started getting sick regularly I was sick most times, but no one cared as much as buying me a single tablet.*sigh* I started having problems with my brothers wife she didn't want me in the house, I'd go hungry and starve coupled with my sickness most days I couldn't even stand up.


Most days I'd wish for death with tears in my eyes and I finally considered suicide.My Bro started finding fault with me then he shipped me away like a piece of dirt to my grandma's place in the village when I was at the point of death, he never called me till today for more than four years now.


Well the good old woman took care of me and in no time I felt better. With the desire to work I moved in with my sister and lil bro and engaged in any menial job I can lay me hands on till I got a job to work at a gas plant. Well the pay was manageable and I gave my support to those who stood by me. But it doesn't stop me from wondering and asking questions why life chose to be cruel.

Have I done something wrong to deserve this?? What are your other wealthy people doing right that the wretched are doing wrong??. I have a resolve to never go into crime but my morality is thining away with each passing minute. I mean look at the world around you, you'll see lil kids going into fraud and cashing out big time but the ones with the mindset of hustling legit are struggling from hand to mouth. They say hard work pays, but I've worked my bones out, It just seems I'm walking on a treadmill my legs are walking but I ain't moving forward.



CONCLUSION

I'm at the crossroads right now, but I need your honest reply and advice. I've gone through things that if written here could fill the encyclopedia of human sorrow and suffering so I'm asking you guys this question “I'VE GOT NO BASIC SKILL, I DIDN'T ATTEND AN HIGHER INSTITUTION, BUT I CAN WRITE I GOT A PASSION FOR IT. IF YOU WERE ME WHAT WOULD YOU DO?? HOW CAN I MAKE A LIVING WITH JUST WRITING”.


Your contributions and advice would be very welcomed THANKS I'll sit in the comments section


Lalasticlala it would be kind if you or any mod pushed this topic to front page, I need answers

I can relate to your story man because it does mirror my life's story in so many areas than one. If in doubt, and need to get encouraged to keep on holding on, honing your talent and more legit skills, kindly go through my signature to read up a little about me.

My advice to you is, do not for a moment give in to the pressure or thought of joining the gang of "cashing outters by fraud or whatever illegitimate means', been there, done it, and trust me, regret and reproach is usually the end thereof.

As I write to you, still very much on the track to completing atoning for my past misdeeds, and well on my way to where God has destined me. A positive explosion it will be, trust me.

Just got off an hour-plus phone convo with a Nairalander who has taken it upon himself to who, and challenge me on how to get better, a gesture I have always passed on to the likes of you around me who feel lost on this journey of life. Should you need someone to talk to, feel free to reach out bro.

Na school cert I get like you, but that one no fit stop me.

Love is all we share from here mate.

Keep strong brother...

I am going to be blunt to save time. Both mine and yours.

Shit happens. Deal with it.

That's what life is about. No one gets out of it alive.

This

And you have got a passion to write, write.

One day, opportunity would meet preparedness and you will be fortunate.

no one will and he is dealing with his shìt but while he is still alive what advice do you have for him?

I hope so

SimDan95:


I hope so

Hope is free.

Hope away and do what needs to be done.

...here is the this me to get a skill as well. Just think of something you like doing and get proper learning about it. Good luck.

Better stop this pity party. A lot of us saw ourselves through school, came out good with great jobs and skills.

We blame no one for out misfortune, instead we turn them around.

Better learn today that in this life, you are on your own. No one's cares and anything you can't get legally for yourself is not yours.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Channel your pain, that is your biggest strength now.

hmmmmm, words.

Go ahead and write. Wring can be cathartic, and there's good money in it, depending on the type of writing you do and how good you are. I know this because I am a writer. However, you do need to work on and improve your writing first. You'll rise if you persist. May God guide you.
