Pain of an unemployed person:
• You wake up late, but still feel tired
• Every day feels the same
• You apply for jobs daily, no replies
• Phone notifications give hope, then nothing
• Family keeps asking “Any update?”
• Friends slowly stop calling
• You start avoiding people
• Money feels tight all the time
• You feel guilty even while resting
• Confidence slowly goes down
• You start doubting yourself
• Skills are there, opportunity is not
• Motivation comes and goes
• Nights are full of overthinking
• You feel stuck and helpless
• You are trying, but no one sees it
Being unemployed is not laziness.
It’s mental pressure no one understands 😔.
If humans didn’t have ears, we wouldn’t know what sound is.
If humans didn’t have noses, we wouldn’t know smell existed.
So what don’t we have that makes us not know something that exists?
Underground rapper. No Grammies, no mainstream label push, just me and my lil team and prolly don’t know or never heard of me but I believe in the 1000 fan rule. If u have 1000 solid/dedicated fans, u can live off of your music. Social media tells u that if you aren’t Drake/ mainstream then u failed as a rapper which is totally false. Merch, shows, streams, features, etc…brings in a lot of money if you are consistent. 100k is nothing if you grind. Ask Larry June, Curren$y, Russ and LaRussell.
