#Tbt this was me less than two years ago. A Regional Sales Manager for the NBA at 22 years old making $80,000 a year. But guess what? I was MISERABLE! 60 hour work weeks, coffee and red bull just to get me through the day, eating Chinese food and McDonald's for dinner pretty much everynight, getting obliterated on the weekends, and just completely depressed. From the outside looking in everyone thought my life was so great because I had such a high ranking job and was doing very well financially. But internally I wasn't happy I wasn't living my purpose. One day with no warning no two weeks notice I just showed up to work two hours late and QUIT. I walked into the offices of the NBA with ripped jeans, vans, and my favorite leather jacket and I told them "I will no longer be working here" my boss said "I think you should go to your desk and do your job" and for the first time I stood up for myself I followed my heart and said enough is enough. I left the NBA with no financial plan I hadn't saved a dime and didn't know how I was going to make my next dollar. But I couldn't care because there was so much joy and finally freedom in my heart. EVERYONE thought I was crazy or on drugs for making such a drastic decision. Their opinions started to cause for me to question myself. But in my heart I knew it was the right decision. I QUIT THE NBA FOR ART! To make music, to write, create, and do all the things that my heart truly desires. Follow your heart always! Your friends and family may love you but they will never truly know your purpose in life. I make probably about 1/4 of what I used to make but my joy and happiness and completion in my heart is indescribable. I encourage you all to be brave take off the masks that society has forced us to wear and follow your dreams no matter what anyone says! Nothing compares to the feeling of truly being yourself, that is a freedom that can't be bought. I love you all have a mighty and powerful day!❤️���� .

She now goes by her rap name, Ky El:



ky.el_#BARS There really is nothing in this world I love more than this. Music has truly changed my life forever. I wake up everyday grateful to finally be able to do what I love. There is so much work to be done and so much for me to learn, but instead of feeling overwhelmed I'm beyond excited to continue to work and perfect my craft. I'm only 4 months into this, but I practice my ass off! I was born the same day as Kobe Bryant so you already know the work ethic is crazy�� I could look around at others who have been doing this for years and feel intimidated but instead I'm focused on my own path, my goals. I am in competition with no one other than myself. My time and my moment will never be the same as anyone else's. Thank you all for all of your love and support it means the world to me.If you like this video please share/repost, social media is a small world you can literally change a persons life from a repost nowadays.My first single will be dropping soon stay tuned for the date! ���� #IAmDivine #TheDivineMessage @studentunionent

ky.el_So I have a job now, 9-5 Monday through Friday working at a sandwichshop. 40 hours a week dedicated to making sandwiches, washing dishes, and mopping floors. I'm doing it all with a smile because I know this is just a temporary situation before my life transforms.

This reminds me of the HS football wr who received a full ride to Michigan St but turned it down to become a rapper. People bashed him hard on his YouTube video.

Anyone knew what happened to him? :skip:
