As a people who started out with little it's good for us to be happy for each other in our constructive efforts no matter which country we're from. Love to see this, coming from a Jamaican.
I’m not a Jamaican but I totally understand what you are saying in regards to building up yourself from nothing. The one person I wished was around to see this today, is my mother who has been gone 10 years this year. I could hear her saying now, “That’s my boy!!”. I owe her not only life but the mindset to be successful; I have always reflected on her advice over the years. But, the sad thing about this journey, not everyone around you may feel the same way even though you have worked hard to get to this stage. They know you came from nothing and you have worked and worked and knew your struggles. Now, they might not actually come out and say it but their behavior around you can’t hide it anymore. Surprisingly, it might be the closes people around you who think you shouldn’t have more than they have. Now, keep in mind these same people have more than you for years and you always either was impressed by their achievements or tried to help them add more to what they have. Unfortunately, they start to treat you differently and always seemed angry at you for no reason. I personally have experienced this over the last year and decided whether it’s my friends, siblings or in-laws, I don’t want any of them to be around me who isn’t happy for me. It’s too much going on to be having to deal with crap like this and it’s not helpful or healthy. Some of the songs I choose in my videos are not by accident. I appreciate your comment and it struck home on a personal level.
If you only how xenophobic some BVIslanders are towards Caribbean immigrants😂😂😂 ….I grew up there spent almost 20yrs and life only happened for me when I left the BVI. Notwithstanding, there are some awesome BVI people. I am happy for the owner of this project.
