Francis Wairimu : Stop with the facade

I am seated here checking out some of your social media profiles and I must commend you. Why? Some y’all are ‘filthy rich’ and ‘living large on the first lane’

Quick question though, who are you fooling? Is it worth it? Is the stress of any good? Most of your followers do not know you, care about you and do not bother. So when you have to short sight two to three suitors in your contact list to sponsor your next party or trip, someone is selling second hand clothes elsewhere and due to the knowledge that they hustled for the money the legit way, they invest instead of spending on wants. So between you two, who is the stupid one?

I know some of you are thinking, but, others short sight them and invest instead of squander, well, how about you go out there and see how many are. It will shock you that with time the money is a lot to where the brain tells them, “let us spend today, we’ll save tomorrow” and the cycle continues, right? Now you are nodding your head because it is true. Ha-Ha.

Do not get me wrong, I enjoy the finer things in life and when I get to take that boat ride, escapade or buy that expensive shirt I want and do not need, I get to enjoy it to the brim because I go for value of my money *and by the way, noticed I called it my money? Yes, you get to boast knowing very well, no one can bring receipts that you are on their budget and hence you are free from them taking advantage of you.

So how about you start being real with yourself? How about you start working for the money than asking and getting lazy at it? I know, that body is everyone’s desire, but do you also know that time changes everything? Will they embrace that change? Will they still want you when those babies come and the effects start kicking in? Will they also want to see you when you cannot pound the yam same way you used to Mr.?

All I am saying, grow a pair, the world owes you nothing. You do not owe the world a fancy watch photo that you did not afford neither pay for, a trip that you paid with your private parts and neither do you owe anyone a fake lifestyle that costs you your piece of mind and from living life the right way. I am not saying right has to be the ten commandment right, but, when deep down it feels right… if it feels right, it is right.

Trust me on this, when you can afford a trip for leisure purposes, a Bvlgari watch and some good designer outfit and a shoe to match it, it is the most awesome feeling whatever your age than knowing someone else financed it and you owe them your time, social circle and freedom. My mantra is, work hard in your twenties, invest in your thirties and live off the profits in your forties. Time might slow this process or fasten it. Do not worry, my clock is not your clock, let it run on its own pace but when you get there, help someone else out (it is called humanity, paying it forward… you might not see the benefits, but they are there). I know I am not your favorite blogger right now but, you know I am right. Embrace the process, stop running away from it.
