2025 - The Year My Life Changed a lot could happen in a year, and for me, it most certainly did >> how I went from struggling to have a proper meal last year, to being able to get any food I want, when I want >> how I went from owing a lot of debts, to paying them back a 100 folds >> how I went from walking, taking public transport, ordering rides, to owning my own car >> how I went from using a rekt gadget with screen issues, to getting proper ones >> how I went from struggling to survive on my own to taking care of myself and loved ones >> how I went from being a menace to impacting so many lives whenever you think it gets low, it can definitely go lower, and ngl it went way lower for me 2024 financial mismanagement and “saving everyone” took the better of me in 2024 accumulated some funds, didn’t know how to spend it tried to help everyone that came my way, simply cause it’s who I am “It’s bad out there least I can do is help them cause I have” that was the mentality I had kept giving, giving giving out, made zero investments with funds I made back in 2024 didn’t secure any means to multiply any income I made. tried saving, but i was non-challant w it. increased my way of lifestyle by a whole lot cause of “small bands” I touched, and it became the doom of me lost determination in web3, was barely working - kept finding reasons to procrastinate, and justify my procrastinations “Oh it can’t cook, I’m skipping this” “Oh it doesn’t look good, I’m not participating” missed out on a lot of opportunities because of this regressing mindset until it finally happened hit 0 properly at November 2024. owed about $500 to 3 friends was never a fan of borrowing money from friends or anyone infact, but there’s a certain kind of 0 you hit, and you genuinely realize you don’t have a choice had to borrow to eat in school as at that period, constantly texted my parents at home cause I had no choice fell off so bad went from “oh dad - no need to send my allowance for this month, give my siblings instead” to “oh dad, please do you have xxx amount to give me this week, I’m down bad rn” life was hell, genuinely hell. kept reflecting on how much I fell off, and how life was just falling apart would forever be grateful to my circle for helping me during this period, felt irritated in myself that I had to confide in them like that, but they didn’t judge, they helped and assisted me however they could December hit - I really became disgusted by my situation i picked up my phone, started searching for free tasks/contests to participate it started entering thread contests - I was a sh1tty writer, but did I have a choice? NO I participated in everything and everything. constantly kept participating in everything, even when I knew the chances of winning from it were slim to none. Zero results, 1 million efforts never felt that discouraged in my life before. I said “f^ck it” and kept going. Why??? I needed to CHANGE MY LIFE January hit - couple of surprise drops came, it started looking good, until I had to settle of some debts, and it wasn’t looking good again managed to pay off all my debts, but I was still at 0 kept grinding nonstop. All this during my final year by multitasking exams, final projects, and work at the same time (fainted once) my mental health was literally at 0, Infact I had no idea what mental health was at that time And then it clicked made $1300 from an airdrop Locked up half the funds, used the remaining half to sort pressing issues Started learning how to manage finances Made $7k early February. never felt such joy in my life before people thought the win came easy, but they don’t know the way I kept pushing my referral link across all my social media,even had to meet up w friends irl to have them sign up w my link That’s how bad I wanted it And everything simply changed from there on. Wins on wins. It’s never over as long as you’re alive. Please, never give up.
