In the midst of my failed job hunt, my sister Emily reached out with a glimmer of hope. She had taken a credit from her friend to cover my tuition fees for the month. "Max," she said over the phone, "make sure you take a student loan within this month. We can't keep relying on others."
Her words were a lifeline, and I assured her that I'd follow her advice. But as days turned into weeks, I found myself racing against time, trying to secure a scholarship that would spare us the burden of a loan.
I buried myself in books and study materials, pouring my heart and soul into my academics. The library became my refuge, and the weight of my family's expectations pressed down on me like an anvil. I studied harder than I ever had, pushing myself to the limits of my endurance.
But no matter how much I tried, the scholarship remained elusive, slipping through my fingers like grains of sand. The hours turned into days, and I watched as the deadline for the student loan approached like an impending storm.
My sister's sacrifice hung heavy over my head, and I knew that her friend's patience wouldn't last forever. I had one more month to find a solution, to secure my future, but the scholarship remained out of reach. The crushing reality of my failure weighed on me, a stark reminder that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the world is simply not on your side.
The Hourglass Theory, with its unforgiving divisions, was like a heavy yoke around my neck, and I couldn't help but wonder if I was destined to remain trapped in the cycle of financial struggle. The enigma of the world around me deepened, and the darkness of the labyrinth I had unwittingly entered grew more profound with every passing day.
