It's so hard to live with a mother who sees love as a transaction, a way to climb out of poverty.
With every paycheck, you no longer know how to make it stretch. Everyone depends on you, bills to pay, your father's medicine, your nephew's tuition. Then, when you go home to the province, they greet you only to borrow money.

They don't know you cry yourself to sleep every night from exhaustion. They don't know there are times you just want to disappear, but you're not allowed to give up.

In a world that keeps dragging you down,
