I started business at 26
I got my license at 27
I bought my first car at 27
I graduated uwi at 29
I haven't started a family yet
I don't have my own home yet
Bottom line? "Too late" Is a joke.
People move at their own pace. It's NEVER too late to get what you want
This is the GOAT the USA media thinks Lyles and Sha'Carri.
It's so funny. Cause if yall would put Sydney on the pedestal that you're trying to put Richardson and Lyles on.
There is literally no debate.

16 years ago when I said formal dress/uniforms were not for me and I wanted to work in sport, they said "stop running bout and look for a 'real' job". 8 years ago when I started my studies and Sport and Exercise, they asked "wa you gine do with da degree". Its 2021, here we are.
Chapter 31๐. Today I am grateful, for friends, for family, for staying employed in a pandemic, grateful that I've been able to claw myself out of poverty and hardship. GRATEFUL THAT THIS IS THE LAST BIRTHDAY I SPEND AWAY FROM MY QUEEN ๐ฅณ. Most of all I am grateful for life! ๐๐ฝโค
Boy I so proud of myself today. Cause 10 years ago when I met her I couldn't even afford to take her chefette ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ. That's real shit right there.
Okay back here cause I have so much to be thankful for. The first birthday on the left I couldn't afford to take her anywhere, so set up at home and cooked. This year (I'm not rich YET) but Im in a financial position to take her anywhere she desires. Come so far. Truly grateful๐๐ฝ
You cannot disrespect/make my lady uncomfortable and be cool with me. We are a unit, we are one. You disrespect her, you disrespect me, and I dont deal with disrespect.
A major habit that older Caribbean folks need to break?
Telling young people they should have saved that money or "spent it more responsibly" as soon as they treat themselves to something nice. We do not work so hard to just pay bills or save up all the money to die and leave it
UWI is so hung up on regurgitation rather than learning it is funny. If they concentrated on actual learning more than just exams exams exams, they wouldn't have to put so much measures in place to prevent cheating. Using exams as the only assessment is lazy and stupid!
Caribbean mature people are still under this misguided way of thinking that because they are older they can speak to you however they want, and you must still respect them. I don't care if you are 95, speak to me with respect or learn bout the disrespectful side of me...
I feel for the photographers, dancers, djs, sound technicians, lighting, etc. Who suffer the whole year and was just about to finally put some money in their pockets. They did not deserve this shit...
I would like bajans and Caribbean people to stop normalizing jaywalking. People randomly stepping down in the road and crossing anywhere. Then talking bout "they have to stop". No they do not.. Also cars are man made, brakes fail. You're going to get hit stupidly. Stop it โผ๏ธ
All the talk these men on sports max had me cracking up all week.
"You did not get covid 19, ya get CUT TAIL 19 from Tebogo for Botswana"

People be too fussy to talk about not having friends or not needing anyone boa. Suit you, I love my people, and I don't know where I'd be without them.
Member of staff pass away and is just business as usual. This is why I tell people daily do not kill yourself for these people work cause they really do not care!
So when you see me walking holding that woman's hand, carrying her bags, opening and closing her doors, gassing her every minute, giving her whatever she desires. Just know it's because she's the best thing to happen to me in life. I am down bad. Shamelessly too.
A lottt of us come up eating tea times, Shirleys, chefette, KFC. Drinking frutee, chubbys, PHD juices. Not saying it was all right. But the difference is we were active at least 3 times a week. Now we have parents writing letters for their children not to participate in PE.
Gimme them low maintenance friends boa. I cant deal with them needy people that need to hear from me everyday. Lewwe meet up every once in a while and lime or drink or sain. If ya need me gimme a shout but if you get upset because I don't talk to you everyday. We can't be friends
Buy Christmas things off of November salary and don't touch December salary unless absolutely necessary. Just forget that you got paid early and operate like any normal month ๐ฅฒ
My parents was never no big credit card swipers. But one thing they always preached to us as kids is to have one specifically for this purpose. You run into trouble while traveling, credit card there as back up. Pay it back when you get home..
Errol Barrow was pelting doggy in he wife and Nina Simone and still running a whole country. Donโt let nobody tell you them was โtoo busyโ to text you back
I want us to be free from thinking that everyone should be a business owner/entrepreneur. It is NOT for everyone. Also some people simply love their jobs and have no interest in doing such. Multiple streams of income are important but you can have them without owning a business.
Food
Sneakers
Clothes
Car parts
Gadgets
Tech accessories
Video Games
Love ups
Head rubs
Compliments
Pay for haircut
Spirits
Cologne
Etc etc
We like nice things too ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Good partners (both women and men) are hard to find. But people know for a fact that they've found the one and mess it up playing games/"playing hard". Then get mad at the world when they lose said person.
Word to the wise. You find "the one", quit the games and treasure them.
My advice to gym goers? Buy the new fit, buy the new kicks, get the new gloves, buy the new gear. You look better, you feel better, your motivation is increased. Thank me later ๐๐ฝ
Tooo many broke women singing "broke boys don't deserve no ๐ฑ. I know that's right!" at the top of their lungs. You broke too. So please stfu and go look for a job ๐ฅด. Some of you just hungry and looking for a man with money to feed you. GO LOOK FOR WORK! ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฃ๏ธ
Now truly understanding women saying their man's birthday is their second birthday. My birthday has never been that much of a big deal spectacle for as long as I've remembered. But every single year since we started talking, this woman has done the absolute most ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Can't believe a year ago things were really looking up for me, really started to get a grip of life and started to feel confident about the future. Now a year later I feel so lost and have so much anxiety thinking about life ๐
Word of advice: DO NOT work to just pay bills and die hear?? Live a little. Even if you can't afford an expensive vacation/staycation, buy yourself something nice, do touristy stuff, go to restaurant, something! This whole slave away, pay bills and save the rest mentally? Fix it!
I know people talking about positions and sha'carri and all that crap but I don't feel people understand what Elaine Thompson now do.. 10.54????๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ I am in disbelief yc. My brain fuzz out! I woulda loveee to see that live ๐ญ

I am proof that you dont have to subscribe to people's opinions. You can be successful in literally anything YOU want.
Young people.. The best place to look for a partner is college/university hear?! Think about it.. That's where you have the most options. After that you end in a workplace with 10-15 people who either already taken, miserable ic, or you ain't attracted to ๐ฅด
I saw a post the other day telling young people to get out of Barbados because there is nothing here. While I agree, some old people need to read the room and realize their time is up, and stop hogging positions they were in for 50 years doing nothing and collecting a big cheque.
