Freedom is NOT freedom. Freedom comes at a cost.

Folks are all up in these YouTube, TikTok, Instragram and other social media streets hollering about wanting to be “Free”.

I was just watching someone arguing with a YouTube creator who was doing his level best to exhort this young man NOT to quit his $70 dollar an hour job. This young man said he was “tired of people telling him what to do”.

Real talk, beloveds, we will ALWAYS answer to someone, somewhere, in some way, shape and form.

Folk think they can quit their jobs, then be an ‘entrepreneur’ without having done any research, set aside any funds, or even counted the cost to see how much it truly costs, financially, to ‘live a dream. Smh.

As we speak, I am working on my business proposal. This has been some looooooooooooooong slow hours. This includes adding tons of research, forecasts, breakdowns, and a million other things to do. Just the building blocks is taking forever. Let alone the DOING of the thing.

In the end, you could see this young man was fixing to dive off his cliff with NO safety net. This is the completely wrong time to take such a financial leap to be “free to do whatever I want?”

As my mom used to say “Those missed meal cramps will get you moving”. Meaning, your empty stomach will cause you to get up and work to put food on the table! OMG, people. Get some act right already! Whew.

Okay, mini rant over. I must say, though, I have been truly dismayed with this theme folk have about quitting jobs to travel, party and….*shrug*. They have no plan after that. Apparently, the rest of us working folks are supposed to take care of them, once they return home. Only, they won’t have a home because the up AND QUIT A SEVENTY DOLLAR AN HOUR JOB BECAUSE HE WAS TIRED OF PEOPLE TELLING HIM WHAT TO DO?!!!!!!

Smh. He was only 31. My hope is that he will have tripped, fallen, and knocked some sense into himself. Sure hope this young man hold onto this job. He makes three and a half times the job I am fixing to start! Geeeeeeeeeeez, young man!!!

Life is not easy. Life requires something of us. Freedom is not free. Freedom demands an accounting. Freedom demands much. What are you willing to give and to do for your freedom?
