Unheard: A Youth’s Blueprint to Healing & Hustling

@Its.karuri.ke

I’m in my early 20s, not where life peaks, but where the game starts to load. Just a fly nigga tryna get rich 💸—no rich parents, no trust funds, just me, my single mum, and dreams louder than my bank balance. I didn’t come from much, but I know I’ve got potential. Thing is, I just don’t know where to pour it, where to make it flip. I don’t talk much. Never really been the type to open up or spit my story to anyone who’s listening. I stay low-key. I listen more than I speak—maybe that’s why broken people keep finding their way to me, like I’ve got this healing spirit I never signed up for 🧿. But real talk, sometimes I wonder—who’s gonna heal me when I break? Who’s gonna sit in silence with me when my world’s too loud?

And yo, I won’t lie—sometimes I check out mid-convo. Not mentally ill, just mentally elsewhere 🧠. Someone tells me their whole sob story, and I’m like “Damn, that’s crazy” twice, and they still think I’m locked in. Nah, bro—I’m miles away thinking about life, money, or that matatu fare I forgot to budget. But anyway, that’s not even why I’m sitting on this plastic chair with my laptop cooking my thighs 😂. I wanted to talk about relationships—not from a guru perspective, just from the eyes of someone who's only been in one failed talking stage that didn’t even last long enough to breathe. I’ve never been in a real relationship, and I don’t regret it. No baggage, no drama, just vibes that never vibed back. And that's cool with me. I’m not pressed to love just for the gram.

See, the world works on some wild rules. They say a woman’s life starts at 18 and a man’s life at 30. A woman is born with value, but a man? A man is born with none—he’s got to build it. Brick by brick 🧱. Ironically though, even women today are grinding hard to create value, and I rate that heavy. But me? I’m just out here tryna build quietly, stacking my name before stacking a bae. I know I’m not there yet, but I’m working. I’m just a young G navigating life, dodging energy vampires, and trying not to drown in my own silence 🫥.

The phone’s ringing now—probably another dead vibe I ain’t got time for. I’ll call back. Or maybe not. Either way, I’m still here, still building, still dreaming. Follow for more. This life? It’s just getting started 🔥. @Its.karuri.ke
