Finally... someone had to say it...so so true
You know what’s worse than living in underprivileged circumstances? Living in an emotionally unavailable home.
This isn’t to say that poverty isn’t a struggle, it absolutely is. Lack of money brings its own hardships, ones that can break a person. But emotional neglect? That breaks you in ways no amount of money can fix.
Yes, I can have lavish birthday parties with lots of gifts but not a single real smile or moment of warmth from my family.
Yes, I can cook delicious meals or order my favorite food but I can’t even enjoy them because my parents are too busy fighting.
Yes, I can celebrate festivals with grand decorations but every festival brings another argument, another reason to feel empty.
Yes, we can travel anywhere we want but in my family, people would rather stay home than spend time together.
