The life of a 24-30 year old Kenyan Youth. Whether a campus or college graduate, an hustler. All youths.
A Thread!

Its that age where you try finding yourself. You try pushing yourself to be somebody in this life. The world is welcoming you. The society is on your case Societal pressures start creeping in

Everyone has his or her time. The problem is when your time comes late. You start seeing your friends and peers moving and tackling life with ease. Their doors open before yours. You start comparing yourself with them. First mistake

Success comes after struggle. many know this. But what if you struggle and struggle and no results? There is nothing that can derail you when you have the persistence and no results to show. At first you might fail and get back on your feet. but what if you fail and get back..

...on your feet and fail again? You will be stuck in a constant loop of misery and till your start questioning life. Second mistake. You believing in things like family generational curses and think a dark cloud is following you. You start feeling miserable and unworthy.

Life changes meaning. Your perception changes. You lose touch with religion and things such as love. Any relationship cannot work with a little finance. Find someone in mars and convince him or her otherwise. You start being arrogant and angry. Your were benign but loathe and..

...and hubristic behaviors start showing. You want to be secluded and have your own peace which in the long run, might never find and end up jeopardizing your mental health. What there in life anyway? You ask yourself

The dark energy starts manifesting itself. Negativity starts creeping in gradually. You no longer want anything. You hide behind social media to suppress your depression thinking you will be okay. You find "hoes" (gender balanced) to quench your carnal desires. Still this...

...satisfy your ego but not your peace of mind. For men, you nut and post nut clarity evokes other chaos in your mind. You feel empty and shitty. You seek friends and drink together. You get high and drunk and forget your problems for a moment thinking there is no tomorrow. Well

Heads up. Its 7 am in the morning. "Here we go again". There is nothing bad like unemployment. Never even wish on your worst enemy. You wake up with no motivation. No agenda. What's your purpose? Why are you alive you useless piece of shit? Random thoughts in your brain.

At this age. No one wants any monetary or financial assistance. You want to struggle to achieve yours. Its all about entitlement and financial freedom. We don't want to be millionaires but we wanna live comfortably, even if you only have a bed in your lonely bedsitter.

There is no peace that comes with having your own personal space. No one telling you any shit. your own boss. Even if you have only a mattress on the floor . Nothing beats that. But what if you still dont achieve this? Parents wake you up in their own houses to go hustle.

Parents. Let me be on their case for a moment. When you are there and lets say you are a graduate, and they still feed you. They will still view you as their child. They will use you like that age when you were 8. Nobody wants that crap. yes am 26. What is this you are telling...

...me? you ask in your depressed mind. They are right. They have given you an education and you are still a baggage. They want you to get something good. They dont know that by pushing you, they are giving you unnecessary pressure and you sink deeper into shit.

God bless all supportive parents out there. If your parent has taken an initiative to jump start you with some little capital or given you ven his or her tractor to do farming,thank God. If they are not in that position, dont push them and make them feel bad. That being really..

...inconsiderate, uncouth and immature. work with what you have. Then there are these types of parents that are in a position to help you but would rather want you to bow down to them and bend your ways so as to help you or doesnt want to help you. This is from the bottom of my..

...heart. Sincerely fuck them and fuck what they stand for. You cant push your child to the edge and yet you have resources. Even if you were raised in the most archaic and medieval ways, think! This age can either break or build someone, the outcome at 30 will determine.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 24-30. The age that will completely break you. Even the gangsters and the strong hits rock bottom. You are reduced to zero. There is nothing in life as bad as being down and smiling so as to hide it. You dont want people to think that you...

..desperate and a miserable loser. But deep inside you are. But still you dont want them knowing that. My advice, rediscover yourself and find peace. Seek first peace and all shall follow suit. "Seek first The Kingdom of God..". Christian Narrative, metaphorical.

Do not kill yourself with what has happened or what will happen tomorrow. Live in the presence. The presence matters. Are you happy at that moment? Cherish it! Find something to indulge in that you like. Avoid drugs and sex to neutralize your anger and anxiety. Ofcos you can..

..fuck all you want and abuse all drugs,,but dont do it to satisfy your depressed life. The feeling will never wane but rather wax. To others, never give hope and a false sense of being to such individuals. Hope is the last thing to sell to a depressed soul. When that hope is..

...is gone..suicidal thoughts start creeping. "Kachukua hatua nyengine". Also, do not open up to everyone. Not everyone is your friend. Open up to that person you know will always be there. Dont be fooled that its better to open up to drugs. The cycle will continue

And keep checking on your friends. Not only when you need them. This age can make someone feel worthless and unloved. Funny enough, you will one day look back and smile and remember this phase and wonder what was that? Why was i like that?

On another note, trust the process. Am not selling hope, look for motivation elsewhere. What i only know is that life will never forget you. It will always find a way to get to you. No matter the time. Death is the worst that can happen to you. Love Yourz- J Cole

Some article from Quora and i quote. "The hardest thing in life in this age is to attenuate the stress that comes from idealistic rather naive world of positive motivation - life feels like a free time and the actual life that consists of continuos hustles"

"The fundamental interest is to find a passion a passionate aim in life. It is to transfers one’s passion into an actual work that pays the bills. This is a generally good principle that could outgrow the millennials, but it also creates a stress, that if you do not have"

"....your life does not fit in this fundamental construct, this more and it is therefore rather miserable. So, it could a great source of misery and depression."

"The new concept is desirable that could eventually help the millennials to balance their impatience towards the equation - work = passion. It is to have fun in the process of finding it. Experimenting, engaging, explorer mind that is seeking. A sailor on the see,the process.."

".. We need a new protestant ethics that promotes lot of hard work towards revealing and looking for one’s passion, yet when one finds it, is in some extent in hands of God."
