GOT FIRED FROM MY JOB. JUST NEED AN OPPORTUNITY
Hello everyone, just need a couple of minutes of Your Attention. Please read the whole post.
This story You are about to read is about a real guy and it is happening right now.
That guy is Me. And this story can end up really bad or really well only time will tell.
Let me tell You what is going on and why this is my scream for help in a situation that I had no control.
My name is Sergio Mendes and I am 30 years old. I was born in Portugal and I am currently living in London, UK. Since I was a Young teenager I have always wanted to move to this amazing city. It took me a while until I've decide to make the move but eventually when I was 24 years old I was brave enough and I did it.
Since then I have been living on my own, working jobs I hate to make a living.
I can tell You that I have always liked the creative fields since I was really Young but unfortunately like so many other People life circumstances haven't allow me to grow and develop in any of the areas that I really wanted.
For Years and Years now I have been working jobs I don't like to be able to survive. And for 7 Years also I have been creating content online to keep my brain creative and to keep myself sane.
Probably like so many of You I haven't been able to create a stable income online that allow me to do a living. I have been making some money here and there, been trying my best to create the best content possible. But having a full time job that won't bring me any happiness also make me lose all the motivation and sometimes creativity to push myself to the limit and do what I really Love: Create.
As You read this I am unemployed.
That means I have no job, I have no income stream. In the scenario that this story end up really bad I might not even have a place to live next Month. Hopefully that won't be the case.
I want to do something really crazy and that is why I need Your support and your help.
I want to just create content online and stop working jobs I hate.
People say that sometimes bad things happen for a reason. And I was thinking about that and decided to start writing my heart out. Open up to all of You and try to reach for the stars.
I want to break free and be able to finally create content online on a full time basis and be able to pay my bills doing that.
Unfortunately it is not easy to reach People.
And in all honestly without the money to pay my bills it is impossible for me to do that. Because I will have to go again door by door begging for a job that I will hate and will drain all my energy, creativity and in the end will drain all the life out of me.
What do I need You guys to do to help me?
I am not here to ask You guys for donations.
All I am asking is for Your upvote and Your reSteem.
That is it.
What do I promise to do with Your help?
Work really hard 24/7 to keep bringing the best content.
Help the community to grow.
Make sure other People in my circumstances get their opportunity.
Basically do All that I have always wanted to do but haven't done because never got the chance.
I feel humble to be posting this message.
It didn't took me a lot of thinking if I should post this or not. I am writing from my heart. And also from some place inside of me that is crying and desperate without knowing what to do.
I have reach a point where I know that I need to ask for help.
This is that point.
Help me write the end of this Guy story and help me to write a happy ending.
I don't know if Zero People will go read this or if it will actually reach a broader audience. But anyway I want to say thank you in advance to every single one of You that have chosen to show me some love and make my Dreams finally come true.
Without further to say for now I will leave You.
Thank You for Your attention, have an amazing day.
Be Happy.
Yo mate!!

Sharing is caring, my friend.... Peace!
I will for sure check it. Thank you so much for Your support my friend ❤ I have just to be strong because I am so super lost and dont know what it will be with my life. My dream it would be to wake up to a super support to this post and that would be reaching to loads of people. That would get me up on my feet working on straight away new original and quality content. A man can dream right? 😂😂 thank you so much once again for your support ❤
You have an urge to live your life doing things you love, I really appreciate that.
I did the same, and even if I am still struggling to find out where I will end up on this journey, I am happy.
If you believe writing is your passion, and you can earn a decent living, then why are you asking for help, people will notice and upvote you eventually.
You are just 30, and looks quite healthy, there are 24 hours in a day, and if you work 3-4 hours a day, you can earn some income to live in a house, have enough food and still a lot of time to think and work creatively.
You said you have been trying to make a living from 7 years, if you haven't been successful, why don't you think you should try something else that is both fun and gives you money.
My words may hurt you, and if they do, I am really sorry for that. But this world is quite hard, it may support you once, but not always. And when it stops supporting you, you will get used to it and it will hurt you more, better not to ask for help and keep trying.
I hope you do well and find out something that will earn you bread and you will love it too.
I understand Your words. But as I said it on the post on top of trying to do a living being an artist I have always had full time jobs that drain me. That is why finally after so long I have decided to ask for help and maybe just this one opportunity! Writing it is not actually my passion. My passion is photography. But it takes time, energy and creativity to be able to create good content when it comes to that. I don't want Peoples pity. That's also way I said I am not asking for donations. All I am asking with this post it is an opportunity to be seen by more people and to have the time and money to start working really hard on achieving my dreams. That is all :D But thank you for taking the time to write me this message :D
welcome bro, hope you get success in your goals.
ohhh believe me. Me too. I need it now more than ever!
Hi Sergio, I have been traveling and living off steemit for 3 months now. Yes, I'm still quite new. My only advice is to just write - people will find you.
Goodluck!
That is just amazing. I am so happy to see that. Well I hope that I can count with Your upvote and reSteem on this to see if I can get that initial push I need to get me up on my feet again. And for sure I will check You. Cause I have never came across one of Your posts yet. Thank You so much for the nice words.
I upvoted, I never resteem sorry. My feed is my portfolio. Good luck!
Yeah I understand. It is all gppd. Anyway your upvote and nice words are super helpful
He doesn't live in India 😂
Does it makes any difference?
Cost of living in India is lot more cheap than in london!
This is a brilliant advise.
Woah man, and you were working hard at your job, I remember you were talking about it at one stage. You'll get through this, don't stress.
Hustle hard on Steemit, you can make a lot here.
Yeah. It was a very unfair situation. But well it is what it is. I really want to hustle here and be posting good quality content. It is just difficult to focus when I know that I wont have money not even to pay my next rent if I dont find a job ASAP. That is why I have created this to see if I could get that kickstart and give me some peace of mind to allow me to create content knowing I wouldn't be homeless... But It is almost 4 days now and I think the community don't find my cause worth it of help. :D A lot of People have been amazing and super supportive. But numbers don't lie right? eheheheh Well let's see what will happen to me. Thank You so much for Your support man!
Lots of people who have to work jobs would rather make their money online.
Are you willing to live with the consequences of not having job income until you make it? Are you willing to be homeless and hungry if that happens?
Have you carefully analyzed your budget and cut everything that is not needed? Do you have debt?
You've been on steemit for a year and have 130sp. What are you going to do different to get a different result? I didn't dig into your wallet, just looked at the balance. If you've made a lot on steemit that didn't show up that factors in too, but I'm guessing you didn't make a bunch otherwise you may have already transitioned to doing it full time.
I'm not asking these questions for you to answer me. I'm giving them to you to ask yourself, to chew on, to help you make a decision. They're tough but necessary.
While it's nice to get support and hard to hear the tough questions, it really doesn't matter what we think. You alone have to live with your decision.
Followed And will be eating popcorn to see what you do
Upvoted and resteemed to offer support
My advice: find a way to meet your minimal financial needs by finding some kind of income whether you start offering services or find a job. Use your creativity to find income in real life and blog about it. Can you run errands for people who can't get out much? Can you offer your services as an interpreter? Get creative.
Thank you ao much for the questions to think about and also for the support on this post. Altough my account is one year old I have been just posting for 3 months. And Steemit it is not my only plan and strategy to make some money and make a living out of it.
Right now I am in a stage of my life that as I said I am desperate and I need a change. I need to make a risky move and I am more than ready for all that might outcome. But I am also ready to put the work and not get to the point where the outcome is disaster.
Once again thank you so much for the time and attention to my situation. It is always good to hear insights like this one ❤
I don't know if you would be interested, but I'm going to start a group focused on getting out of debt and building wealth.
I started a post to see if there are people interested. Check it out and let me know if you are interested. https://steemit.com/debtfreeme/@aboutyourbiz/want-to-be-debt-free-want-to-build-wealth
I will check it out. But to be honest my biggest concern now it is not even get out of debt it is to make money to pay my next rent lol
No worries
I'll follow and look forward to content. I hope hou succeed but being a content creator in itself only has value if theirs a market for the content. Lets see what you got.
Thank You so much for Your support. And I totally agree with You. I have a couple of things up my sleeve I just need to have the time to make them happen and also the money to know that I wont be homeless in one month time. That is why I have decided to write this post. But thank You so much for the alert :D
Hope it works out well. Upvoted and resteemed!
Thank you so much. All the support means the world to me. I am trying really hard to stay positive but with my depressive tendencies it is very difficult. I am honestly lost and dont know what to do. Thank you so much for the help it means the world to me.
Olá Sergio, desejo boa sorte para você. Dei resteem em seu post e desejo sucesso. Grande abraço amigo!
Muito muito obrigado por isso. Bem preciso. Estou perdido e nao sei o que sera da minha vida. Em choque. Triste. E assim meio desesperado. Por isso vamos la ver como me.vou safar desta vez. 😕 muito obrigado pelo apoio. Significa mesmo muito. ❤
Hey Sergio
did you consider a workaway scheme? It would give you home and food taken care of for work in return but only so many hours a week so you could work from home steeming ahead here when you were not doing the part time work - but you can choose work you like close to London - here is the link
https://www.workaway.info/hostlist.html?showMoreOptions=0&ct=europe&country=&search=London&with_feedback=1&page=hostlist&workawayer_capacity=0&host_rating=0&date_start=&date_end=
Well I think I have heard about it. But I have never researched or looked into it. I will for sure give it a look right now straight away. :D Thank You so much for the tip and for the support :D I just hope I can make it right this time.
It could be a good idea even if only for a few months
Yeah. I have been looking into it. I will be looking into it later on today. Now I am just trying to focus on managing this all messed up situation in my head and try not to go crazy! Try to calm down and make the right moves. That is what I need right now!
I have a hugely helpful relaxation technique that promotes good decision making too if you would like? It only takes 15 minutes.
It is life changing - I do it every day and the results are incredible.

I promise to give a look at it. But I usually dont do well with relaxation. The way I work best in my life it is in confusion and mess. That's why I think this situation that is happening to me might be good. Because it is when I am in this type of situations that I am usually able to move to the next better stage of my life. But I promise I will take a look at it ehhehehe
You got my upvote,resteemed and followed. Keep steeming and trusting God who makes impossibilities possible. I wish you a fruil-full life and a happy family.
Thank you so much for the kind message and the support. I don't know if the community will move all together to help me on this 7 days. But the feedback I have been getting is very positive and it help me to deal with the situation.
Hey man my name is Sean ! I also just lost my job , I know how you feel . I have been thinking of doing exactly what you are doing and it is really inspiring to see this . I will follow you and help in an way I can and I’m always here if you need to talk !
oh man thank you so much for the support. Well I am crazy and I don't know if this is the best idea. But at this moment I am in a point that I dont know what else I can do. So maybe not give it a try right? :P Once again... don't forget I am crazy this might not be the best solution. LOL. I am glad this have inspired You and I hope You can also be successful :D
