Growing up i had a pretty great life. I went on the best vacations, got the best clothes and the best toys. I was an only child so my parents had the opportunity to spoil me. When i turned 9 my parents split and my mom just recovered from breast cancer (10 years cancer free!) they lived apart for a while and then when i was 12 hurricane sandy happened and i lost almost everything, i have a few things at my fathers house luckily so i wasn’t clothe-less. After that my mom rebuild her life and we were all-pretty good. At 13 my dad lost his job and my mother was paying rent that was very expensive. This forced them to move back in with each other. It hasnt been good at all. They argue constantly. Its very a negative space. I am currently living with no heat or hot water and no fridge because the company took it back after we couldnt make the payments. Its horrible. It has been a very humbling experience to sat the least but i keep my head up high and I am grateful i have a house & power and that i can watch tv. I am so appreciative of the small luxuries i do have and i just wanted to post this to remind everyone to stay humble and grateful. Enjoy the things you may take for granted!
