I hate my life.

I have been in foster care for 7 years and been in a total of 12 families mostly short term stays. And people only hear about the good sides of it like how foster care gives kids an opertunity to have a family and a stable home. But that’s only the case for the lucky ones if you are unlucky you feel homeless and that you have no where to go. Sadly I’m unlucky and been in some bad homes aswell. I get jealous of people my age and younger when they talk about their families and it makes me angry when people try and say things like it could be worse. I don’t trust people and I’m scared to be myself in case my foster parents don’t like who I am and just get rid of me like the rest have. Sorry to vent but this kept me up last night.

Well you can still achieve great things and with hard work you'll be out and about by the time you're 18-20 living a nice life. What makes us all the same in a sense is that we've all been given our own variation of life, and this life defines our tolerance in regards to what we can deal with. So no matter where in the spectrum your circumstances lie you'll still feel the same kind of joy and pain as anyone else, it only comes from a different source, like edgar poe put it.

That's the reason why there exists children who can make tiktok challenges with a smile on their faces while army missiles rain down over their heads. And why I get anxious when I have to talk to a person.
