I Am Not In School, No Business, No Relationship

A viral video of a young Nigerian woman breaking down in tears over feeling unaccomplished at 23 has been widely circulated on social media.

In the video, the young lady lamented that she recently turned 23 and her motherĀ  came into her room to pray for her. She said that after her mum finished prayers and left, she was all alone and started to think about her life.

She said she is 23 and wonders what her purpose in life is as she is not in school not doing any business, and not even in a relationship.

ā€˜ā€™Today is actually my birthday. My mom came into my room to pray for me. When she was done, she stepped out and then I realized that so much is going in my life, I realized I don’t have much time left. I am 23 years old right now. If you add two more years to my age, I will be 25.

I have not figured out my life. I have no business, I am not working, not in school. no relationship…I am just there, just living each day as it comes. I know this is not the plans God has for me. It cannot be because he cannot create me and keep me there just to occupy space.Ā  No! Even if that is the plan he has for me, I know that I want more, I can change it. The feeling is so overwhelming. I feel like there is no time. I have not fulfilled anything. I am just there.

I feel so sorry for myself”
