WELL, LIFE HAPPENS

I have met people that say life is unfair, and if I must be sincere there were times I felt so too. Now I just take whatever I get out and run to the direction I believe in. I have not stopped fighting for what I believe in, I have not stopped believing, but I have stopped expecting things to go my way, I have stopped believing that good things will happen to me simply because I try to be good. I have accepted the fact that life happens and I can either wallow in self pity, or stand up to keep pushing. These have been majorly due to the fact that I have failed countless times more than I can imagine, and instead of calling myself a failure and wallowing in depression, I just continue showing up.

The beginning of last year was one of the few times I felt I was very close to achieving my dreams and was ready to go all out for what I believed in and it crumbled right before my very eyes. But here I am, trying again lol. I have always dreamt of having my own advertising firm, I still dream of it up to this moment. Even today I came to work reminiscing on how it will feel to be running my own firm. I have had this dream since I was about 13 to 14 years old, even without knowing what I wanted to do exactly, the idea of bringing businesses together to share resources just intrigued me into wanting to venture into the advertising and marketing industry.

But like they say, Life happens and one of the ways life happened to me was when my passion drove me into making one of my biggest financial mistakes that nearly ruined me. I wanted to learn this very expensive course, I still want to learn it, but last year I put in all my savings and even borrowed to learn it, but somehow the money went into the wrong hands and I was left with almost nothing. In desperation to get the money I lost, I gambled my last 200k and finally lost it all. The bigger part of the money went into the situation, and the remaining part went into my stupidity. But then again, I have not given up on learning the course, rather I am slowly building myself into learning less expensive courses, sharpening my skills, with the hop I get better opportunities in the future.
