    13. “I was on food stamps”

    I have this virtual basketball space where I hang out on the internet with other warriors’ fans to discuss basketball. But what ends up happening is, it usually ends up being about deep meaningful conversations. Today’s episode features Rich, who is also the founder of that virtual basketball space, which is also one of the biggest warriors virtual fan bases with over 169k YouTube subscribers, 3k Substack subscribers, and 133k twitter followers. my comment being displayed - Link to this particular clip And it's always a joy hanging out there. It feels good to connect with someone Like (Rich) who I see myself in. Someone who has done exceedingly well for himself on the internet. And someone who I inspires me to build my own thing on the internet. And it just feels good connecting with such persons and from the podcast that is attached to this write-up. I wish he would be kind enough to listen. In this episode, he shared how that he once was living on food stamps and he couldn't even afford so many things of life. He was trying to get somewhere that he knew his 9-to-5 job couldn't. And so he struggled for years. “you’re right where you need to be” — Rich Hearing such people's stories and seeing where my story connects with theirs is motivating and empowering to keep my eyes glued on what I'm trying to do here with Jollof Write and writing, in general. Hopefully, I'm able to create my own stage where I can bring together people who are hungry for the same ideas that I'm hungry about. Exchange ideas and dissect them in real time. And even create articles based off of those conversations. I hope that one day I'm able to get to that place where some of my friends on the internet are right now in their journey. I’m grateful I’m able to document these moments. Shout out to YOU for reading this article and reading all the other articles. It means a lot to me and it gets me one step closer to what I'm trying to achieve with Jollof-Write. So, thank you for always being here and I do hope you listen to the audio.

    12. “Procrastination is a bitch”

    A friend (Dare) posted his frustration on WhatsApp Status saying: Procastination is a bitch, because… Why did it take me less than ten minutes to do something that I procastinated for two weeks? It’s….It’s a bitch, really. And I thought to myself, yes, it’s a bitch because it makes you do stuff you don’t even want to do. Like doom scrolling on TikTok when there’s an undone assignment and the deadline is in 2 minutes. Now, I’m left channelling my inner Usain Bolt and turning in the assignment at the last second. Procrastination is a sneaky little devil. It lures you in with promises of temporary relief, only to leave you drowning in a sea of regret. The longer you put off a task, the heavier it weighs on your mind like a constant nagging partner reminding you of what you should be doing instead of binge-watching Ice Bucket challenges on YouTube. This happens every time. But guess what? Just like Dare (audio attached), once I start to tackle that tedious task, I realize it wasn’t as bad as I made it seem. In fact, it probably takes less time to complete than all the hours I spent procastinating. It’s like ripping off a Band-Aid — painful at first, but once it’s done, you wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. So, why do we procrastinate? That’s a question that even God can’t answer for us. My best attempt is: As long as we can breathe, we can procastinate. *procrastinate 🤦🏽‍♂️ Maybe it’s fear of failure or it’s just laziness on-the-red-carpet? Whatever the reason, one thing’s for sure — Procastination is like every other addiction (drugs, sex, scrolling-tiktok-till-3am); you keep going back to it for no reason. But hey, recognizing the problem is the first step, right? Taking action is the second step, but we wouldn’t take that second step anyway, would we?
