He wrote;Â âHappy Birthday to me and to being in America for 1 year already. Iâm getting closer to my mid 20s and itâs haunting me cause I feel alone in this world and I feel like time is running out. Coming back to a country I havenât lived in for 11 years all by myself to restart my life from all the abuse and depression I went through in Nigeria from my extended family and only having my mom while I was there. Being here alone with no support system has been hard. No parents, friends or family to support but Iâve made the most of it myself. Iâve been homeless countless times, losing countless jobs, having accidents and ppl stealing from me at my lowest. since being here from being kicked out because itâs clear I wasnât wanted there to staying with abusive ppl that treated me like a sub human all in the name of that favor. Had a car accident and lost my first car to a reckless driver, had to go to court for the first time cause I didnât have insurance and I was a new driver, slept outside, slept in my car all while working 3 jobs and trying to pursue a career in modelling. Everything I went through made me stray a bit from God but Iâm writing this as something to look back on when everything eventually gets better and also because people donât see the struggle off social media they just see the good moments. Hopefully I can write a book on everything I experienced so far in America. Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes and cheers to 23. Lemme stop yapping now just wanted to get that off my chest
