Just The Struggles of a Young Black Brotha

Mannnnn, I've been thinking a lot lately. I just got off work from the overnight grind. I've been doing a lot of self reflection. Asking myself questions like: "What am I doing with my life", "Am I moving in the right direction", "Will I EVER get a big break"? I try to stay positive and always keep faith that things will work out in the end. And I truly believe they will. But, being patient is the HARD part.

I'm thankful for this blog and my readers because I don't have to keep all this in my head. Valentine's Day was yesterday and now I'm stuck in my feelings wondering if I'll ever find the right woman. Maybe I attract the wrong woman? I'm afraid that I'll be one of those highly successful guys with a bunch of materialistic things and no woman to share the goods with. Like a big ass mansion all to myself. What fun is that?!? I've had those thoughts a few times believe it or not.

Then I see employees that have been at my job as long as I've been alive! Then I'm thinking "what the hell, I pray that's not me!" I can't see myself giving my precious Years on this earth to a company that pays me barely 45k a year. No way!

I want to build my own business and the whole 9 but I don't know how. I continue to read books and watch videos but there's always a small voice in my head saying "you should have someone older teach you all this." But, growing up without a dad has made me use to having to self educate myself on everything. It sure would make things easier tho if I had someone that's been there and done that.

Just the struggles of a young black brotha. I guess this was a vent session that I needed. Thanks #BYODFAM for taking the time to listen. New content on the way! Stay tuned!
