I know that's not normal, but that's the society we find ourselves in.

I wish I could mark this with such calmness and maturity as you, because it is simply an immutable fact. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time rebelling and jumping against reality. But what to do, apparently this is just fate and I have no reason to regret it either.
Sometimes I think parents are not the best people to raise their children lol. Because they grew up and were formed in some other era, long gone, out of touch with reality. But a person must constantly change to adapt to the changes in the world, and precisely the first 7 years, what you learned and assimilated then and that formed you as a person, are the most difficult to change, if not to say absolutely impossible.

I am wishing you a better times and I hope your heart desires would be granted.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful wish!

We here say in response: May it return to you!, i.e. I wish you the same! 😊
