I Believe Happiness Comes From Within

I had a tough life when I was a child. My father was abusive and my brother is diagnosed with autism. My childhood was filled images of my mother trying to balance family and my father's tantrums. He never loved any of us, he tried to break us down mentally and physically. Eventually, his business closed down and he blamed us for that. He stopped giving us money. Then he started to attack my siblings and it worsen my brother's anxiety. That was when my mother had enough of it and decided to leave him.

We moved away with not much money and started over our lives. It was tough. I couldn't find a job for myself. I couldn't go out and enjoy my evenings like rest of people my age. I went to depression and blamed my father for it. When I hit dead end of my life, I thought I could think over and start to see things differently this time. It worked. We bought an apartment, my sister and I got a job with good pay. My brother slowly recovered from his anxiety and my mother is happier.

All I am saying, never give up. Even if you meet a dead end in your life, it's not over. Find a hope and it will lead to your happiness. Much love and peace. 😊
