Happy mid-week friends, hope your week is going well and as planned?
We live in a time and season when things happening in our surroundings most times they see it as a way of life. I found myself in an environment that white collar job is everyone's take and when you are not into it it looks as if you are just wasting your time.
Let me tell you a little story. When I was just about getting married to my husband my father in-law told me that job is everywhere in his place thats when I asked him of something I can be doing and I added that my preference is a pensionable job.
Reality dot come stormed at me when I finally came. One month after the wedding we went visiting and I asked him how I can apply for job馃ぉ馃ぉ馃ぉ, he said I should come and teach in the church school that's in the village 馃槶馃槶馃槶, Sha, my heart ached and I was so disappointed.
When we returned home with my husband I expressed my disappointment, I told him I was not going to work with any private school, especially with what my father in-law said I was going to be paid less than 8,000 naira. After a while I started a business, frying peanut and popcorn to supply to different stores. This business was flourishing after a while suggestions came that I should own a shop. The general notion of owning a shop is that you will grow faster when people get to see you and all that. Well, mine happened differently, I didn't grow there because I was still supplying to my customers. The most frustrating thing was, the electricity was not stable. Also, instead of the people within to patronize me they decided to bugle my shop twice. Lastly I packed up and began to stay at home as usual. I refused to do anything relating to supplies. I was just there taking care of my baby though I already took an extra course in Education.
As I said earlier, my society is one that believes strongly in owning a shop and white collar job. Even if what you go out to do on a daily basis does not worth it, they still value it that way. When I was introduced to blogging, I took it with so much passion without considering so much the money. What I know is that I was told that it is good and it helps her to sort her bills as a stay at home Mom.
A times people will ask me what I do and I respond by telling them that am a content creator. They find it difficult to go with it. Coping with this on a daily basis is not so easy. After a while I decided to start up another business at least when they ask what I do or even without asking they get to see that am on with a thing. I will not say I am bending to the pressure that flip through my face on a daily basis but I have developed a better to cope with it on a daily basis. Obviously, there is no way to convince everyone around or else I will take my whole time explaining and there is no way I can even make it because time will so fail me. My decision is to keep doing my thing a day at a time maintaining a good conscience hence I know am not on the wrong side. Gradually those that will accept will do and those that don't want to will just be there.
