I could call it a bad spot but I won't want to make things sound depressing to readers and also to my ears. So I'll go with a tight spot.
Right now, I've got into a lot of things which could be called “shitty things” but I also won’t want to see it that way because it could make me lose hope in finding a lasting solution to this particular problem.
We all know problems are endless, however, I honestly wish I could just live with less and still be able to achieve my aims and aspirations in life.
A few months ago I talked about how I would love to start creating video content here on Hive or YouTube about things that interest me(I have a particular niche already but won't be disclosing that yet) but the major restriction is my device.
While the device is still in good condition, it is not fit for making videos or even average when it comes to taking pictures. More reason why I now just use images from Canva and not the ones taken by me.
It’s not a device, but it's still capable of writing a couple of words to post on Hive. However, a few weeks ago, I lost it at a hotel where I went to charge it so I could have some battery charge to post on that day.
It was really quick as I only went home to get my power bank because there was an available space there. Unknowingly I was being watched and before I got there my phone was stolen.
I had to head home with the sad reality of not only losing my phone but also various things like my contacts, files, and countless other things that I couldn’t remember.
This left me with weeks of not posting on Hive as my Laptop has no backup anymore and the only time I get to post is when there is light.
Financially things got tighter because I couldn't even work any job on my phone and those who needed my assistance went for another alternative since I was not on seat.
Weeks passed by with just me in my room staring at the ceiling and hoping for some miracle to happen. Luckily, it did and I am now able to start posting back on the chain. I also retrieved my number and got a few of my backed-up files and keys.
Nonetheless, I am still deep in some debt that I just can't go a day without thinking about it. I am grateful for life but tbh, I hate myself for not expanding as wild as I can when I could.
I think if I had started my video content I would’ve gone far and hopefully get it monetized. For me earning a living online is a dream of mine since the day I held a Java phone in my hand back in my secondary school days.
But now that there are a lot of ways to make that dream a reality and eventually go big with things, I still let things like my device, doubts and environment hold me down. The environment part is the worst of it all but I think I should talk about that another day as it's almost midnight and it's time to sleep.
