From mjengo to meetings, maybe it does get better

Wangwana, let me just be open with you.

Just because something works for me doesn’t mean it will work for you , but I’ll still share. I’ve tried everything. Mjengo. Sending 100 job applications a day. Rejections. Silence. Days ata one bob haiko.

Fast forward to now, people are reaching out. Scheduling meetings. Opportunities zinakuja pole pole. I’m not yet in Canaan, but I can see it from a distance.

And I am saying this especially to walalahoi kama mimi. No rich parents. No generational wealth. No family backup. First born. You are the plan.

This world owes you nothing. But if you keep pushing, learning, adjusting, something shifts. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But it shifts. If you don’t win, you gain experience. Then you move.

Na end month ukilipwa, buy yourself something small. New boxers. Toothbrush. Even kuku ya kujipongeza. Don’t suffer like you’re saving for people who won’t clap for you. Appreciate yourself.

Tujitume. Itajipa tu.

What’s something you went through that almost broke you but later made sense?

(For context, I work in digital marketing, brand strategy, and online growth.)
