Give me a chance to be great on my own... For you!

in life •  7 years ago 

So I woke up this morning, picked up my phone to check trending topics on twitter and i saw that "Logan Paul" was trending over an apparently offensive video he posted (Won't get into that, if you follow him you already know). I was intrigued, i immediately wanted to know who he was and what he does for a living for him to trend like that but before i went on my investigative journey i made a fresh cup of coffee, lately it has been a ritual to take one every morning. So as i was sipping my coffee i began my investigation. I finally found his handle and saw he had 3.8million followers! I was like WHAT!?! Who is this guy! He even has more followers than most of my favorite musicians. So i started going through his tweets and retweets and began seeing tweets like "Omg Logan i love you please come to my city", "i can't believe you came to Tokyo and i didn't meet you" "I'm subscribed to your channel on youtube pls follow back". Then it hit me, he's probably a youtuber so i went on youtube to search for him and this guy has more than 15 Million subscribers. 15 MILLION!!! When I can't even get mere 10views on my videos. But the only video that got my attention was the video he gave his mum $10,000!! I immediately wished that was me. To see the smile on my mum's face when I give her half of that.

Now the reason for this post is; I'm an online entrepreneur so I always have to be online and bid for jobs. 95% of my clients are from different parts of the world and as an online entrepreneur/freelancer you'll get paid according to the number of hours you worked. If you're on upwork you'll get what I mean. Now I stay with my Parents but before you think I'm too old to still stay with my parents (Which I know is true by the way) to help out with house chores like cooking and cleaning and running errands don't get me wrong I'm not complaining and I know I'll have my own family in the future but doing all these just gives me little time to bid jobs and deliver in time. I feel like I have to break free. I want to move out, find an apartment and dedicate more time to my brand. I want to build it up to a certain level before I get hitched (Lool) so while I'm reaping the fruits of my labour I'll also have time to take care of my own family but my mum won't hear of this. She thinks i want to abandon her which makes me feel really bad. I've told them to get a help to help around the house but she still won't agree. Like she's literally trying to force me to stay. This is 2018 and I'm not getting any younger!! What do you think I should do? She doesn't even know that most of the things I do now I do for her. I just want her to give me a chance to be great on my own.. For her!
