The hardest thing to let go of in life is 'money'.
In life, there's a saying that's crude but very real: 'Money isn't everything, but without it, nothing is possible.' Many adults' breakdowns start with a lack of money. Most of us are short on cash. To survive, how many brave souls have had to bow their heads, even risking their lives for a mere few hundred or a few bucks. In the adult world, 'easy' is never part of the equation. What might seem like just the cost of a meal to you, a few hundred dollars, for many struggling people, that's tuition for their kids, utility bills for their home, medicine for their parents... When you're poor, you can't imagine the feeling of being so humble it's like dust. Those who haven't been poor don't understand the hardship of waking early and working like an ox, day and night.

Every word you said resonates with the hardships I've been through. I deeply understand that feeling of powerlessness, having to bow down just to survive. In those days of scarcity, the desperate struggle for family was never something outsiders could easily judge. This burden might be a destiny we have to face. Are you doing okay now?

From when I couldn't even afford a 15-cent toast with egg, to now being able to drink cold brew or coffee. I'm grateful to everyone who lent me a helping hand.
