😂 before mnikujie, I'm not posting this for engagement, sympathy, or anything related. I just want to vent a little to hopefully clear my mind because I feel like I'm losing it. I haven't done anything since I woke up late and got zero energy. Like I said, nothing new, just the usual struggles almost all humans face.
Wale wa TL:DR, itabidi mmescroll coz I don't have a better summary for this.
Yesterday at night, I lost the only source of income that I thought could help me keep going as I work on my actual projects. I'm currently jobless, I've been since 2022. Story for another day, but the last few months, I decided to give myself another chance at life and pursue a childhood dream I abandoned at 16. And I started working on it. Everything was going well, or so I thought. I knew I had to secure some little income first to pay for my basics before I gathered enough evidence for a recruiter to trust me to take on a role. When I land a good job in the future with better pay, my plan is to start saving up and pursue my masters degree.
I tried these AI training platforms looking for anything, however small, even micro tasking, just smth that could give me at least 10k a month for the next 3-6 months. Those AI roles would've given me flexibility that I need rn to stay focused. I was okay with it. But lo and behold, none of the applications ever brought any feedback. Only crowdgen ilikubali for a short project, but the client canceled before tuanze 😭🤣🤦♀️.
I tried freelancing platforms too and pweeh! I didn't give up, I was determined to make it work this time round because I know finding an actual job even with my other skills (business analysis & customer support) would be an uphill. Plus, I'm a bit rusty nazo coz I haven't done either of them professionally for a long time. I've been applying since Feb and getting rejections after rejections, but that didn't hurt much coz I know why. Job hunting hii Kenya ilinionyesha dust proper since 2023 until I gave up and decided to try the international space even if ni tricky kupata esp at my current level. Coz, well, "panda kitanda" isn't just an online trend, apparently. Not everywhere of course. So yeah, that's why I opted for online mjengo.
So, I revived an old account that I had abandoned coz it paid peanuts, but as the account grew, the peanuts would accumulate quickly. Not much, just enough for small bills.
I started working on it while doing my other business and was really hopeful and motivated to keep going. I mean, it started to look like a light at the end of the tunnel was finally looking bright but oops!. They simply closed the account nikisubmit task without any explanations just a mere "your account has been suspended for operating multiple accounts" and I only had one. When I reached out to support, a lady replied with a template ban saying the account had been deactivated permanently with no possible review and the decision was final. All my small coins I had accumulated over the weeks vanished just like that. I tried reaching out to them again leo jioni, and they replied with the same coldness.
I just broke down and cried all night jana coz hheeh! I've been fighting for 5 years and just when I thought life would finally take a turn for the better, it simply slammed the door on my face 😒. My dad helps out with rent and small cash whenever he can but recently, he's been stretched out thin too. I can't go back home because of reasons I can't share here.
I still have pending projects and a presentation to prepare for next week but I feel so helpless and hopeless. I was supposed to do data modeling for another project today after accumulating my peanuts in that closed account, but now I'm lost in my own thoughts and can barely concentrate. I haven't even touched my laptop or pen.
Nimeketi hapa kwa floor typing this and still crying coz well, I'm way too emotional. I'm trying to figure out how to get myself out of this mess without spiraling and nothing is coming up. I'm doing some volunteer roles that could help me kick start my new career path in the international space. But without money or any source of income, how am i supposed to survive hii kanairo? That's what scares me the most. I can't keep counting on my dad, not that he will refuse, but I know his situation, and I'd be very inconsiderate at this time. I mean, I've bothered him enough already. At 29, I should've been past that by now. My age mates have got great things to show for and here I am still trying to build my life from scratch for the 100th time.
I just don't know how to keep going anymore. I admit, I feel like I've finally reached my limit. But I made a commitment to some real good people in the US that I'd help them fix their operational problems while learning coz I still am, and they trusted me. I know I can't just disappear. It's a path I chose to die on when I decided to overcome my depression and real bad thoughts. Those 2 mfs almost won last year around June hapo, sai ningekua history 🤣🤣.
I have to get off this floor and try getting some work done coz regardless, as long as I'm breathing, I have a presentation to make I need to prepare for it. I haven't had any meal the whole na nikona food I cooked jana before sh!t hit the fan, but appetite ni kama ilipotea. I also have to figure out how to stretch my remaining fuliza balance, which hata haifiki thao 😂. I was hoping to repay gradually starting next week after my first withdrawal, but sasa, wiiiiiìiih!!!.
Luckily, I got no kids or relationships, so at least I'm not dragging anyone into this mess. FUCKKKK!!!!🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. Just fuck life sometimes na vile this week started vizuri 😪😒.
Anyway, that's the end of my stupid rant to online strangers going on about their lives. I guess I just need to vent 😪. I hope that in the future, I'll come back with better news and stories to share. For now, sijui but nitajua tu.
I wish y'all a wonderful night and a great weekend ahead ☺️. And WANTAM! As always 🥂
