Hi everyone, My name's John.

I've been on incognito mode for months now but i just decided to register today so i could pour out my mind here.

I'm still a young chap of 20, since i left school to play football things has really been tough for me, the pressure from loved ones is really too much for me; not that i can't play but the connection is not there, no one to help.

Every morning when i wake up, the zeal to train is no longer there. It's just as if I've lost hope after 4 years of leaving my confort zone.

Last month i decided to start a street hustle but that one also is another frustration. Things are not just working, at age 20 I've really suffered.

The passion for football is still there but no encouragement. I just feel regret written all over me. It's 3:29am and i can't sleep, thinking hard about my life.

Who did i really offend, where did i go wrong, so many questions running through my mind. I'm just tired of this life, if not for hell fire i would have done the unthinkable.

No one in my family to talk to, everyday i smile but deep down inside of me I'm really hurting. I just came to nairaland to pour out my emotions maybe i will feel a little confort. Thank you for your time reading.

At 20, you still have the world ahead of you... I understand the feeling you might have that you've wasted years of your lufe but come to think of it, i f you multiply your present age by 2 that will be forty years ahead to your present age.
By 60, you'll still be alive. So you have many more years ahead of you to strive for!

Please be encouraged and know that it is too early to quit on life bro. It is well.

NB: Everyone has life issues... I also can't sleep because i have some thinking and planning to do for my life... So, you are not alone in the hustle of life!!!

Try something else, if football isn't working for you. Even at your age, if you're hoping to play at the highest possible level (Europe), I'm sorry, but that's virtually impossible as you're already too old, unless you want to play for an NPFL/NNL side.
Talk to your father (fathers are more reasonable), tell him the situation you're in.
You said you're done with school, secondary school or university or poly?

Go and do yahoo

Get busy....try school or biz

Don't look.for sympathy.
Keep trying the.right things.
Develop your.passion. you better.suffer now than later in your.future.
Even your football passion requires your zeal.
Zeal is a propeller of passion.

Having said that when I was that age I suffered more than you have described above, and I am better off today.
Suffering is not peculiar to you alone, it is a phase of life and it shall pass away

Johness, as much as I’m tempted to tell you to continue to chase your dream, I must be real with you.

Find a way to Go back to school or get a good vocational training. If you want to play football, believe me, you’d have a great time playing in your school.

Being a successful footballer from Nigeria is 2% luck and 98% consistent hard work. But you see that 2% ehn, it’s harder to get than the 98%. Most people never get it till they are 35 years old and they have to accept their fate.

Mikel, Ighalo, Ahmed Musa and other Nigerian stars were also lucky, even though they were hardworking. The players in their hood, whom they grew up with, have given up on their dreams and faced reality. Hard work is not enough if you are Nigerian footballer in Nigeria. Let’s say you even get a spot in a good Nigerian club. We have so many talents in our local leagues but only a few get noticed by scouts. That’s why I said go back to school. Study a course, study the business part of your course then work strategically while in school so you still have time for football.

Do you know any professional footballer personally? Make him your mentor. That’s a good way to help your luck. But if you don’t know anyone, please move on with your life.

Save up and get some training if not a formal education.

Perhaps you set your mind on playing football as a way for you to escape (hammer) poverty. That's not a bad idea but majority of Nigerians who made it through soccer were just lucky to have met their destiny helpers at some point.
You are just 20 years old and you have given up on life already. I doubt if you really have passion for the game of soccer. If you do, you will still play it whether the connection is there or not.
Go back to school and continue playing soccer. Play for your department or school. You might just be lucky to be spotted by your destiny helper in school.

John, let's chat please

At this juncture where youve gotten to your wits end is when you should lay it at God's feet. And he will surely lift you up.

Just stop the worry and be silent. He says be still and know that I AM GOD. Trust in Him and Lean not on your own understanding. I'm not just quoting bible but telling you from experience, how this words came to me and today I have my victory.
Be calm, pray anytime you feel like getting worried. Praise God when you feel the future is bleak and I tell you, He will spring up for you.
Jesus loves you. Just tell him now to take over the wheels of your life and He will.

Shalom.
