You know when people say “living the dream,” it usually sounds like one big, soft life story, like someone traveling the world or buying their dream house. But for me, it was one random day when I was completely broke and someone just sent me $50 without me even asking, iswear, it felt like a dream I didn’t know I needed.
Let me take you back to that day.
It was almost the end of my exam period ,i was in Lagos, and I had been planning to travel down to Uyo,but omo, things were tight, When I say tight, I mean no cash anywhere, no earnings on Hive no one I could disturb, and the little food I had left was just rice and beans (my all-time survival combo) ,I wasn’t even sure how I would move from one day to the next.
That day, I was just lying down, scrolling on my phone like person wey no get wahala, but deep down my mind was so very heavy, I was calculating transport fare, food money, kids school fee, their school stuff and even data sef, You know that kind of calculation you do that does not make sense because the answer is still zero.
So out of boredom and worry, I started chatting with someone I had connected with online some time ago, It was not a planned conversation, I didn’t even bring up my problems, we were just gisting normally, talking about Hive, Web3, and random stuff, life,etc, I even dropped one or two funny memes in between just to laugh away the stress I was just feeling.
Then out of the blue, he just said,
“Send your wallet address.”
I paused. I thought maybe he wanted to test something or send maybe 5 HIVE for some support or whatever, I did not expect anything big but I sent it sha, because why not?
It was not up to two minutes after that, I got an alert 50 USDT. . Yeeeeeee!!!!!!
See I’m not even exaggerating here, I looked at my screen like five times, I even refreshed my wallet, I Closed and opened the app again, You know that feeling when your brain has not processed what just happened? Yeah that was me me on that day.
The first thing I said was,
“ Booosssss, thank you so very much”
I said it again, and again, and again, I think I must have said it at least ten times in a row, not even small whisper thank you o, but real deep-from-the-heart kind of gratitude.
Seee ehn that $50 changed my whole situation that week, I used it to plan my trip to Uyo, I was able to sort out some small things I had been dragging for days, and even had peace of mind to focus on the last bits of my exams.
It is not just about the money, It is the timing , the way it came out of nowhere, The way I did not have to beg or explain my struggles, It just came,like a soft reminder that God still sends people to come through when you least expect it you get?.
That moment for me was truly living the dream
See I know it might not look like much to some people, but when you are down, and something like that happens, it just feels like the universe pressed pause on your stress just to hand you a breather, that day, I felt seen and felt cared for.
I always say it now that not all dreams have to be big,sometimes, it is the small, unexpected moments that feel like magic,Moments like that remind me that help can come even when you are not looking,and for someone like me who is used to figuring things out on my own, that one act of kindness was just everything.
So yeah....... maybe I am not on a yacht o or I am not cashing out millions (yet), but that day I got that $50, I was definitely living the dream for me.

Sis, I can understand you. I know that feeling. You see, sometimes, a blessing that comes at the right time is always a great one. It's a reminder that God cares for us and will always meet our needs, even if it comes from someone we never expected or from a total stranger. I must say that it was God who showed up for you when you least expected it.
Mehn , I guess God did show up . Because some problems were solved for me
Exactly.
Wow how convenient for you, some of us have to work for every dime we spend 😂, and just like that you got 50$. I envy you 😀. Nice entry 💯
It was just God showing mercy
I get 😀
Lucky you! God really see through your heart and doesn't want you to suffer that's why you and that your friend chat each other that day. You really were very lucky. I can't imagine how tough it would be for you if as if he didn't help you out with $50 that day. Just thank God for everything sha

Na one beg I wan beg you oo. Please share me the person contact so I can also have casual chats too. I won’t tell him all my problems at all. I will just tell him a pinch. Who knows God might make him see my mind and send $5K. I will never forget you. 😂 🏃♂️.
