HOW I MET EXPENSIVE CASSAVA

I have always had a tendency of telling you people about my life. Well, even today I will tell you about my life. That may be direct translation,however,life is about communication. Did I communicate?
I have a degree which I realize now I probably should never have done.My plans and the reality on the ground are parallel ideologies and I am just accepting that close to a year down the line.You see I believed that I would step out onto the acting world and conquer like the learned talented actor I was. Well,so far talented has come up on one or two occasions. Learned,however,is yet to help me.
So,I still say I am looking for a job but truth be told,I have no idea what I am looking for exactly. I think what am looking for is that X factor that keeps eluding me.Why else would I be surrounded by great Actors,directors, producers and never get to be called for another project even after being called talented? I am venting and it's not your fault.It is however my introduction to the issue at hand.
I am in the process of picking myself up in oife,learning stuff.One of the ways is how to earn money for myself and use it well.Managing it you may say. I may never have boarded a plane but I have never lacked money my entire life.
It is only when my mother escorted me to the stage and said goodbye empty handed that it finally hit me that money was sought and managed if you wanted it to last.
Still, HE(remember him) taught me that I could always count on him for anything,mostly money(big big mistake,my sisters).
So,my genesis on how to look for money and manage it,began.It is shocking the things necessity can drive you to do.
This is the point I have never been so business minded and optimistic and forward moving as I am now.I promise I can find you a plot in Tharaka nithi county,negotiate the price for you and buy it on your behalf at a fee of course.
I digress.
I have had to quickly find and piece my pieces. This exercise led me to cassava in Ngara market,because I convinced my sisters that we had to start a food business.I didn't know they could be as expensive but I had no choice but to risk.I knew this is the point in my life that hard choices had to be made to turn my life around albeit in a small way. For now.It would make me feel better,love myself more,if I woke up at 5am to sell this food. And so I bought them.
Dependence can sometimes lead you into staying in a bad place. So,at some point ,if the person/thing is not God Almighty, cut that link of dependence.
One of my blades to server the link of dependence is my expensive cassava.
