Why I Wish I Was An Orphan.
**Before you declare me ungrateful or a thankless brat and I judge you by your narrow mindset, let's clear this up.**
Life seemed perfect as a child... Maybe because I knew nothing and my area of interest and knowledge was petite but sooner or later I became defiant and a rebel with a short temperament is havoc.
You may disagree with me on this but I do NOT believe that childhood is the most beautiful time in your life. Rather, it's a delusion from reality, a time without responsibility, and a fake act.
Now that you have an insight into my ideology, let me tell you where and how that got raised. Life as an eldest middle-class child is never easy. Your parents are new to their jobs and are frequently overstressed and heated. It's not ALWAYS a healthy environment.
My prominent memories are that of my mother howling over my dad and taunting me. I had seen domestic violence, sometimes, at extreme levels. I have seen happy faces as well, on our occasional trips but those are blurred by taunts and curses.
**I believe that my household is TOXIC.** I don't hate my parents as they have provided me a roof to live under and food to keep me alive but my soul is a corpse, all thanks to them, again. If I had a choice during my birth to be born or dead, I would prefer to never start the misery again without a second thought.
I have had hundreds of breakdowns to date, my arms are covered with burn marks that I carved in the feeling of neglect. Somedays I just want to cry on someone's shoulder and hug a human, not just my pillow but at the same moment, I recall that I've never had anyone that close, never ever has anyone understood me, then how can I trust a soul?
*I find no difference between me and someone who got no parents. The neglection feels the same.*

Why Does Everyone Want To Start A Business?
***Babies are born as free-spirited souls*** who are taught the societal coordination and acceptance by all the means and phrases you and I have crossed in childhood and teen years.
Yet we cannot deny the fact that we all crave independence like oxygen. Who would choose to enslave someone for the rest of his life over dominating others to work under him?
The spectrum of business is large but vaster are reasons that people give to enter this line. As someone who belongs to a family of engineers, the rebel inside me brought up the interest and passion to not work 9-5, get a home, a car and live a stable life like all around me. *Instead, I would prefer to risk it all at once and either achieve the potential or fall and restart.*
The more you open up with teens these days, especially Generation Z, you'll figure out that most of them are against the typical and traditional work ethics and have plans for startups. I jotted down a few explanations that my friends gave from across the world.
"I don't want my children to have the same life like me... I wish they'll have all the things I craved and I will work my butt off to make it a reality for them."
"My family business has nationally flourished for more than three decades. Now, I have to spread it internationally."
"It's my childhood dream to be in blue suits and big companies. This is why I did MBA and got experience. I will persuade my passion."
"I simply started a small online jewelry workspace as I had no work in day time at home. Didn't know I could grow so much!"
"I started freelancing in odd hours of working as a dentist's assistant and saved as much as I could... It took me four years to gather the courage to stop that exhausting daily cycle and curse every day. Today I run my own dental pharmacy and earn nearly double after a hard work year.
