[Jeruel Richard @jeruelrichard]

I'm 19 and I'm trying to escape the matrix while living inside it. This is what that actually looks like day to day.

Overtime I've come to understand that the traditional school system is for machines and for people without a purpose so they get handed down one.

So I skip lectures when I can and try to get into a workstation at least twice weekly so I can build cool things either via scratch or with Codex (best days of my life btw).

Some weeks are department practical-heavy and all my PC work is dedicated to our department practicals and I hate every second of it and whenever I'm in class I try to while away time by reading fiction on my phone or making my personal research while the lecturer yabs away.

Geographically, I stay in Nigeria and where I live there is almost no electricity so I live off power banks and periodical charging centres.

I survive by building sites for medium-sized e-commerce businesses, taking app loans and receiving "upkeep" money from my dad.

Because of the circumstances of what I'm sure society sets up for everyone (for an average life btw) I have a goal to drop out from school mid-July 2027 but I have to build my startup first and scale it to $1000 MRR before doing that.

I have an ideal design of how my life should be and I tap into that future every now and then but till I'm financially capable to easily and smoothly control that, I'm living in the struggle zone. Physically, and mentally.

So here I am creating content and dropping weekly pieces on escaping this societal construct. Opinions. Essays. And legit things I've practiced/I'm practicing.

If you're young like I am and know something's off about your life path but you can't place a finger on it, feel free to tag along. Let's break free together. 🤝

@SpartanPsyche Is this scientifically proven or just pseudoscience?

[Jeruel Richard @jeruelrichard]

@theandreboso They never positioned Fable as that, it was Mythos and STILL IS Mythos. Fable is like the overdistilled version of Mythos, especially after the US government withdrew it and tampered with it.

Life can happen to anyone, Someone dear to you can live this earthly plane any moment, Times and seasons can change. But through it all, God never changes for whatever reason. Happy Super Weekend. The Best is Yet to Come. What are you so grateful for?

After this post, I literally fell into a deep illness and couldn't do anything substantial online.

Nonetheless I'm feeling much better now, and will continue work tomorrow.
