RE: What is it like to be POOR. What is it like to struggle in life and find ways to eat?

in #life7 years ago

Thanks for sharing your experience,@intelliguy. I remembered my struggle when my parents separated when I was 12. It was difficult, my mom had a new partner then. I had to watch over our store and study at the same time coz my stepfather would scold me. I managed to survive until such time I ran away home when he tried to harrass me. I pursued my schooling until I graduated with my aunt's aid, however, I also had to help at her store.
We have different struggles in life to reach what we are now. Some were bittersweet memories but it helped us to become better individuals. 😊
Be proud. Cheers!

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.. You are strong. If anyone asked, would you repeat the cycle and do this to another child? The answer would be an easy "no"

Thank u @intelliguy !Kudos to all of us here for surpassing amidst life struggles. We are all strong. 💪
