When you don't have any expensive or luxurius things. In short you only have yourself to show.
Some of us or maybe mostly of us, experience this kind of set up in life. If you look or what we called poor in short, you look untidy for others or even to some of your relatives because of your looks, don't have any new clothes to wear to, no new gadgets to show. They recognize you maybe, but then ignored for some selfie moments. In short they don't want to mingle with you. You are rejected for their gatherings, you are not counted for their happy moments.
Then you are trying to go with the circle to join them. You are just don't mind if they ignored you once thrice, just to go near with them to join their laughters too. You don't mind those negligence, because you have a positive thoughts that you can level up too someday.
Every gatherings of my family circle, me and my mother were always at the kitchen to clean all the dishes, to serve for those visitors coming. After that gatherings, me and my poor mama will clean it up. All over that house just to make them(our relative) admire us. Wowww how hard working are we😁?
Sad reality, if you are not in the top situition of life , you are always be in helper for your relatives or somebody just to show them that you are also worth it. Inchange for the hardwork we offer for them, they gave us some relief goods, and some amounts of money too. But when I'm in my right age, during my employment period. I don't allow my mother to do it again, its okay to help but not just like she devoted herself to our relatives. Instead just to focus her ownself on how to aim a higher dream for her own family.
She started to refuse for some gatherings, coz she is busy in her own activity at home.
Looking back to where they are now, those who used to reject and ignore me before....
Wheels of life is still on spinning . You don't know when you will be down or sour up in the sky. Be cautious of your action. Just give fair attention to all, most especially if they are related to you. If they are not toxic in your life, then why not to give them a chance to connect with you. Even if they don't have any expensive things to showcase . Let them be come to you and be friends and let chitchatting and exchanging laughters moments with them. For you don't know one of these days they will be successful too like you. So you both happy and helping each other.
If you are that will to do person, don't hesitate to help your family if you have plenty of it. You know what I mean, because sometimes for those person that you may refuse to help, they will become an achiever. For they were inspiring those hardships in their life. And it ended sometimes that they can help you at any helps you need to.
