You really do have to suffer to achieve anything in life
You get told that you have to struggle and fight in life to achieve anything good, and for some people that is so true. Life is unfair and I accept that so if you want anything out of this bitch you have to bleed for it.
Some people will have it easier in certain areas than others, and for some there is almost no chance. This is why you should always appreciate someone who beat the odds.
Then you have the people who think they have nothing going for them and fail to see the many good things they have. They’re the people that make life hard for themselves and want nothing but sympathy.
I think I have a lot going for me but I still have to struggle to live a decent life. I have experienced an insane amount of adversity whilst only trying normal things, this has taught me so much about life.
The biggest lesson being the struggle never ends so I should get used to it.
Family struggles
I grew up in a broken family and in another life, I would be a depressed drug addict right now instead of someone with a chance. My dad wasn’t there, my mum wasn’t there mentally, my sisters weren’t there often, and I was cut off from the rest of my family.
