Y'all who live in considerably developed countries are so lucky.
You get the chance to aim for your dreams regardless of their nature and price.
You get to go to school with no worry. You have access to so many opportunities. You don’t have to worry about whether you’ll have electricity tonight to prepare for your upcoming exam or if you’ll have enough change to pay for your bus ticket to go to lectures. I genuinely feel happy for you guys, that you can afford such a carefree life, that you can enjoy life and live it to the fullest.
I wish I had those chances as well. I wish I didn’t have to cry myself to bed sometimes when I think about the helpless reality I’m forced to live in. I wish I didn’t have to wear two or three pairs of socks at the same time during winter so my feet don’t freeze, I wish I didn’t have to wear layers of sweaters either. I wish my parents didn’t have to live in even worse conditions than I just because they sent me far away from home because they want me to be successful. I wish I could have the extra coin that poor homeless lady asked for the other day. I wish I could have had the chance to be spoiled at least a tiny bit, to could have possessed everything I once dreamed for, regardless of how insignificant or useless it is. I wish I could get a proper education. I wish the people around me weren’t crumbling under the pressure of life here. I wish people would smile back while walking past me. Oh how I wish…
However, I still hope. I hope one day I’ll be rich enough to look after my mom and dad the way they have always looked after me. I hope I become a person capable of assisting my one and only precious brother with whatever he does. I hope I somehow get the job I want, I hope I make a change in my home-country. I hope I’m able to provide my future children with the life they deserve, the life I didn’t get, the life every living person and creature should have. I hope people break out of their bubble, I hope they start caring about not only themselves, but others as well. I hope when winter comes I could smile and enjoy the beauty that comes with it.
I just…I just hope I could make a change, make the world a little bit better, warmer…I hope.
