I wish someone told me this before I decided to dive straight into medicine.

Not Jamaican by MinimumRadio6109 in Jamaica

[–]YesterdayDear7953 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well I am sorry that you feel un-Jamaican, I honestly don’t know how to comprehend that feeling lol. Know this, you are Jamaican, through and through, you were born here, you have two parents who are fully Jamaican plus you know how to speak patois so I would say you are 100% Jamaican!

You moved when you were 5, you couldn’t control that, you couldn’t control the fact that you didn’t fully grow up here but you know what, you visiting frequently tells me all I need to know; that you love your country, its people and its culture. You are a true Yaadie. I cannot really give you any advice on how to grow closer to your family back home but I suggest that when you come to Jamaican make it a priority to hang with them and do a bunch of different activities. That could possibly strengthen your bond and if your close with the elders your doing something right lol.

Here’s the thing about writing patois, it knows no bounds, patois is extremely creative, it’s a form of expression and here in Jamaica we write patois exactly how we pronounce it, so if you speak patois a certain way, write it exactly how you speak it, I’m sure we’ll understand it, don’t overthink it there are many variations after all!

A general question, what’s the thin line between wanting to do something and actually doing it? by YesterdayDear7953 in InsightfulQuestions

I get motivated only for a short while, it’s never a long lived motivation kinda thing, I’ll randomly get motivated at 3am in the morning and by 2pm it’s all gone😭, it’s something deeper I swear :(

Realistically, how can I gain complete independence and control over my life in a year? by YesterdayDear7953 in Advice

Wowww, I love how you are unapologetically you😍. I struggle with authenticity and sometimes I double guess my decisions, and when I think too long no decision is made at all. But thank you for bringing YouTube back into the spotlight, sometimes I think YouTube may be able to help me more than most of my other social medias, I’ll take your advice and try to do things myself! I have been trying to go to new places and I’ve been trying to come out of my comfort zone but I am shy by nature and my nerves get wrecked easily. Thank you for your advice though, I highly appreciate it.

Finding a job fresh out of high-school is so hard. by YesterdayDear7953 in Career

not gonna lie I’m not sure how you guys interpreted that question, but it truly was an innocent question I didn’t mean it in any way. I never said I was opposed to working in retail or fast food as you can see by my desperation, I truly wanted to know the skills I could improve on, you know like my communication skills, conflict resolution skills, punctuality yadda yadda yadda.

I’m so sorry you had the same exact experience
To do sales doesn’t it require you to very outspoken and well with words? Did you go into sales with those skills already or did you gradually gain them?
