Man, this thread, so apt, so on the Money.

So much changed in my life from when I became 25. I thought I was fully grown then.

Looking back, I was but a toddler. Even things I was so sure about three years ago and up to last year sef, I see differently now. https://twitter.com/Somajjah/status/1264132787516452864">https://twitter.com/Somajjah/...

The world is much more fluid than we profess. It& #39;s way more complicated and nuanced and we usually don& #39;t see it all in our loud fervor.

Until we do. And then it feels like an awakening. Like we& #39;re suddenly, totally there.

Until our next awakening. And the next one too.

Grew up largely poor but didn& #39;t really realize how much because sacrificing parents. But I wanted to get to the stage where I could afford whatever I wanted. So I wanted to be super rich when I grew up.

All my fantasies had plenty money in it.

As a teenager, I had priorities - Make plenty money by age 35/40, go back to school and lecture. Be married and begin having kids by 28.

At 25, I wanted so much to be the next big author from Nigeria. I wanted fame then, clout and still plenty money.

Started working selling beer at 26, and I felt I was on the right path - Corporate Nigeria was beckoning. Leave the writing first. It will come later. Make money. Was such a brilliant salesnan too.

Burnt out after 3 years. Took first opportunity out.

At 30, I simply wanted to be ordinary in peace. Just amble along and live life, enjoy friends, etc.

That& #39;s changed over the past couple of years. Now I yearn for impact. Glad to have been doing jobs that I want to do, over the past 4 years. I don& #39;t want to be wealthy again...

But I want at least one child so I know I should bag some funds. Nigeria eh?

Now I have another target. Another professional desire that I have begun thankfully.

But who knows what I& #39;ll desire or yearn for at 40? I don& #39;t, but I think it will be fun to see that change too.
