Journal Entry: Broke, Homeless, and Happy!

Jun 22, 2023

Hey, AfriCan fam! It's been a while since I wrote on this page since creating the new Ko-fi page but I'm glad I kept this page around. I hope you guys are doing ok!

Today I just want to vent about what's going on with me and the thoughts that are running through my mind.

Income! I swear earning money on web2 is a pain in the ass! Every site article or blog told me to do surveys or some low-paying penny job. Literal pennies. I've been searching for countless jobs and gigs these past few months but nothing too solid has happened yet. But I am hopeful because I put my work and myself out and the right clients will show up.

Lodging! At present, we are staying at a lodge. This is the 3rd since the lease on the apartment was over in March. So we have been pretty much homeless while selling our stuff for a place to sleep. Well apartmentless! I know this is just a pit stop on the road to billions!

Debt! Believe it or not, I owe money! Not having work is putting me in debt to the lodging management. I have been paying them off as fast as I can but it's still piling up on the days unpaid. In Ghana, 4000 cedis seems large but it can be taken care of quickly with just the right gig or 2. For tomorrow we will be kicked out with nowhere to go.

Mentality! I find myself on the pleasant and cheerful side of life even though things might seem tough. As long as I stay in the moment and know what I want things will work in my favor. I'm actually feeling better about this situation as I'm typing this. I do get down at times but I know those feelings won't last for long.

Donations and Help! I do feel awkward asking for help at times from family because I know they have their own lives and bills to pay for. So I don't ask and starve for a day or two lol. Can't eat pride so I ask if they can help if not I would understand. I just wish I knew 100 people with 10$ to donate to me! Man, I would invest that money and really start living!

Thanks for reading this journal entry. Lol Im not sure if anyone reads them (family included) but I'm glad I was able to clear my head and feel better about my situation. Be sure to like, comment and share this content with others who may like it. Until next time! Later
