Growing up none of my cousins were allowed to stay in my house, I never invited friends over Cos I was embarrassed, I had a friend over last year who said her mum would be so disappointed if she found out she chills in a ‘council house’ (Alhamdullilah she’s no longer in my life)
I never even knew the difference between council houses and normal houses. I was sheltered away from my parents income sm I never knew how much they made till I applied for my student finance. I’ve always been spoiled regardless of what they had in their pockets. Alhamdullilah.
Growing up we were always made fun of cos we’d never ever been to an airport or a holiday, we’d never had any game consoles but we had a dad who would make games up on the spot and a mum who would always make a special movie night. Alhamdullilah.
We never had designer clothes, but we had brand new matching pjs every Eid and New Years from primark, Alhamdullilah. We never ate at fancy restaurants but we had a tradition of getting the £2 pizzas every Friday, Alhamdullilah.
I never grew up with a lot- but I never realised it until I grew up and realised how much more other people had but I was so grateful and still am for everything I’ve grown up with and wouldn’t change it for the world. Alhamdullilah always for everything I was brought up with.
I’m never one to let hate get to me- as we all know I receive A LOT of it. But this time it was insulting what my parents work towards. Remember your words can hurt and you never know anyone’s situations. You can lose everything overnight so be grateful and humble yourselves.
