Hi, my name is Miji and I post my music everyday because I know new people discover it everyday. So if youโre seeing this for this first, show some love by engaging ๐๐
Honestly, life didnโt start making sense until I hit rock bottom at 28.
My 20s? Chaotic is an understatement. I was just winging it , jumping from idea to idea, hoping something would stick. One week I was learning a skill, the next week, na how to japa. Money came in, but the way it disappeared? Like it had Bluetooth, always slipping away.
I was constantly broke, always borrowing. I once even borrowed money to go on a date. The babe ordered a cocktail and ghosted me after. Omo, street harsh.
Then 30 happened. It didnโt come with riches, but it brought clarity. Got tired of the chaos man lol and started being intentional about my peace, my time, my finances, and finally, my passion.
That was when I realized I couldnโt keep moving blindly with money. I needed some structure, a plan even if small. I started tracking my spending and saving more deliberately.
I remembered having a conversation with my sibling, where we decided to open an FCMB account just to save together. On top of that, we locked away a lump sum in a fixed deposit to keep us disciplined and committed.
Those small but intentional financial steps were the foundation I needed because omoeux no nepo advantage to fall back on. I had to Lapo my way through.
Around that time, I went back to my boss where I had learnt photography and videography for five years for freedom if you know, you know. Used my share from our savings to buy a used Canon 7D. That camera became my turning point.
I started with very cheap gigs, then real bookings. Fast forward to now, I run full studio bookings, collaborations, and brand shoots. I built something Iโm genuinely proud of, starting from almost nothing.
No shortcuts, no big breaks just grit, growth, and slow, intentional steps. And the moment I started thinking clearly about money, everything else began to align.
If your 20s feel messy or scattered, know this: Youโre not behind. Youโre just becoming. Be broke, but donโt stay broke mentally, not financially. Start where you are. Your turning point might be closer than you think.
