I still yearn for the past some days. Days when I would see friends everyday. Days when I didn’t have to worry about bills. Days when things were simpler and easy. But, I realize that my life isn’t as bad as I thought. Parents rarely fight now. We have money and I’m, for the first time, financially stable. And, I still have a good relationship with my parents. When I visit them, I still go back to when I was a kid. Mom and dad would make my favorite food, I now have access to all my favorite cartoons from when I was a kid thanks to streaming. The big difference is now I can actually help them financially and physically as opposed when I was a scrawny, poor shrimp. I sometimes miss those days, but I’m making the best of what I have now
