I'm writing about this even though I'm just thirteen years old, because I want to tell how I feel. I want to write about my experiences - how my life really is. This is all true. I used to dream of fantasy stories and imagine my future, but I didn't expect that my situation today would be so far from what I imagined.
We were so poor back then. We couldn't afford expensive things; we were so simple, ignorant, and always dirty. But now that I've grown up, I want to change. Even though I face a lot of challenges, I don't want to give up just because I'm like this. I want to prove to people that I'm enough - that I can show my genuine side. We may not be rich in money, but we are rich in family and love.
Even though we're suffering, struggling, and facing many problems, we still help each other - me and my siblings. At a young age, we already experienced what feels like meeting "Medusa," and I realized what happened in the past, what's happening in the world. I made my own promises - not telling them to my family because I know that not all promises can be kept or fulfilled.
And that's it... I have so many reasons why I'm writing this. This is not just for entertainment or just for people to read - but to understand every family's situation. Sometimes, people only see how beautiful your life looks from the outside, but they don't know how much you've suffered or how much you've sacrificed for the ones you love.
