Every morning, as the sun breaches the horizon, I get up, put on my armor, and prepare myself for battle. Battle against the challenges of life, against the uncertainties of the world, against my own doubts and fears. I am a warrior, a breadwinner, carrying not just my dreams, but the dreams and hopes of those I love.
Sometimes, the weight of expectation is the heaviest load to bear. The weight of the hopes of my younger siblings, the dreams of my aging parents, and the future of my own life. It's a load I carry willingly, but it's a load that leaves me breathless at times.
Every payday, when I bring home the paycheck, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I see the smiles on my siblings' faces, the pride in my parents' eyes. But underneath the euphoria, there's a feeling of exhaustion, an underlying current of unease. Sometimes, the cart of duties feels heavier than the pull of gravity.
Life, with its twists and turns, often feels like a chess game, each move adding to the complexity. As the primary earner, every decision I make impacts not just me, but the entire family. The pressure to make the right move, to choose the correct path, is daunting. At times, life feels like a chess game, each move adding to the complexity.
But amidst all this, there are moments of quiet joy, moments when the weight feels a little lighter. Moments when my sister shares her school achievements, when my brother speaks of his college dreams, when my parents look at me with gratitude in their eyes. These moments are the fuel that keep me going, the wind that pushes my sails.
And so, I march on, my feet moving forward despite the weight. I carry this load not out of obligation, but out of love. The weight of the world may be on my shoulders, but I am stronger than I realize. I am a breadwinner, a beacon of hope for my family, and no burden is too heavy when carried with love.
