I was unemployed for 6 months.
- Gave into vices. lol. Drank till my ulcer triggered in the midnight and I almost died. Then I realized that I’m being foolish. Picked myself up.
- Went to driving school. Perfected my driving.
- Sent applications everyday. Lived and dwelled on LinkedIn. Applied for everything and anything.
- The applications started yielding fruit so on some days I had tests or interviews.
- Used WhatsApp less so that seeing people go to the office won’t trigger me.
- Started learning financial modeling with my friend, Femi
- Realized it wasn’t a thing of shame and told more people about it (Buchi unofficially employed me pending when I got something. Uqbah later connected me to my next role)
- Slept like a mad person 😂. Learnt new dishes too. I just dey cook, dey chop.
- Avoided relationships like a plague. Na words of affirmation I wan give?
- Avoided my folk’s place too. I no fit dey grind pepper when I suppose dey work.
- Dyed my hair red. Wanted to get a tattoo but it was more expensive than my depression.
- All in all, came out stronger ❤️
