Who actually am i behind this name?
Back in 9th grade, I was considered the biggest troublemaker in my family. Every day, there was some new issue or complaint about me.
Then came the COVID lockdown. I managed to convince my family to buy me my first smartphone. That’s when I discovered a live-streaming platform called Bigo.
I started doing livestreams there and began earning around $100–150 per month which was a big deal for me at the time.
Through Bigo, I met someone who would become my first love her name was Pity
We started talking, and eventually, our bond grew into a long-distance relationship. I would even travel to her state every month just to meet her.
A year passed, and exam season arrived. Her family started putting pressure on her to focus on studies as typical brown parents do and she told me she wouldn’t be able to talk much during this time. I had my own exams too, so I got busy as well.
Exams ended. Results came out. But she never came back.
I tried to reach out. One day, she replied and said she wanted to meet that it was important.
That very night, I packed up and left. I reached her place the next morning. As soon as she saw me, she broke down crying and told me that her family would never accept our relationship. She said she wanted to move on.
I tried to convince her, really tried. But I failed.
It was clear that she had already made up her mind.
I came back home. For the first 2–3 days, I was fine. But soon, it felt like I had lost something incredibly valuable in life.
I locked myself in my room for 6 months, and during that time, I even attempted self-harm a few times.
Then slowly, things started to get a bit normal again.
One morning, while scrolling through Facebook, I came across a job post. The position was “Discord Chatter.”
I applied for it.
The job was simple: Whitelist grinding.
I had to type 1,000 messages a day in Discord servers, and for every 1,000 messages, I was paid $10.
I kept doing this for 5 months straight.
Later, I applied for a moderator position in a project called Warriors of Ankh. That’s how I joined AnkhLabs.
I worked in multiple roles within the agency and started saving money.
Last year in August, I moved to India with a scholarship to continue my studies.
Today, both of my parents are retired and I’m taking care of things.
I’m always grateful to God. ❤️
The reason I’m sharing this now is… a few days ago, I came back home during my semester break, and while walking down a street, I randomly saw Pity again but this time, she was holding hands with someone else.
And in that moment, I finally smiled to myself and thought:
God really does have better plans for us!
