The Overly Gifted Young Black Professional With A Great Career, A Side Hustle And A Wealth Of Impatience
I’m the young gifted black professional with a good job, a side hustle and a wealth of self made unrealistic expectations of myself
I’m impatient and unkind to myself
Having dreamt of this life that I’m currently living, its weird that I’m not happy
Did I in any way sell myself short? Did I aim or dream too low?
Did my parents lie to me?
I mean I had no guidance along the way, how the hell would I have been prepared for this spitting reality?
It is with this journey I walk that I’ve realised the world offers a wealth of much muchness
I realise that money will not solve my unhappiness – but I still realise its importance
I have come to resent religion as I’ve watched it rain in my community for years yet seeing no change
I have sooo many ideas but not enough time to see all of them through
Being in a club now suddenly baffles me, I find no fun in clubbing all weekend like I used to
I find no fun in having multiple females in my corner, weird because that’s all I’ve ever wanted for the longest
I find no fun in getting wasted
I now take Uber instead of driving out late at night
I find happiness in taking an early morning run
Youtube and its tribe of mentors keep me calm, driven and hungry for more
I do not relate to a lot of things anymore
I am on a road of exploration, I yearn for more inner peace and patience, curiosity and positive energy
And yeh “I’ve got some ideas you godda see”
I’m alive and striving to be in the now…
I’m the young black professional with sooo much life and soo much to give
Soon!!
