My friend landed a £3000/month remote job & I'm sad

God when?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why I don’t keep friends.

Because they make me question my life choices. LMAO!!

A man without friends has nothing to worry about. Right?!!

I’m just kidding.

Have you ever had a friend share a piece of great news and you’re happy and sad at the same time?

Happy because you’re truly happy for this friend, that their hustle finally paid off and they don’t have to worry about where the next cash is coming from. Even better, you’re glad you are there to experience it with them. (No!! your friend is not about to start paying for your weekly data subscription. You’re on your own! LOL).

And Sad because you look at your life and you wonder if you missed the train carrying your friends to their happy career place. You’re not jealous but you just feel something isn’t right here. “Am I being cheated”? It hits different if you already work hard and stay diligent in your craft.

I heard Denzel Washington say “If you hang around the barbershop long enough, sooner or later, you’re going to get a haircut”. For a guy like me that hates barber shops, this is a pretty disturbing quote. I rather come back another day than join the queue.

How many of us have the guts to wait diligently? Through thick and thin? Through having to see friends way ahead of us and sticking to our craft?

It’s crazy but I pray we all get through such times in one piece.

Yes, my friend actually landed a £3000/month remote job as a product designer. I only hope he starts paying for my weekly MTN data subscription so I can continue writing this diary - Cos I’m financially tired!!😪😪
