NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THE PAIN OF BEING BROKE. It's not just about having no money. It's watching your parents grow older while you still can't give them the life they deserve. It's ignoring your friends' calls because you can't afford to hang out. It's having big dreams but checking your bank account before every decision. It's smiling in public while silently wondering how you'll survive the next month. And the hardest part? The world doesn't pause because you're struggling. Rent is still due. Food is still expensive. Your family still needs you. And time keeps moving. People will tell you to work harder, but sometimes, you're already trying your best with opportunities you never had. Poverty doesn't just empty your pockets. Sometimes, it steals your peace, too.
