"Oyinda, we have a mom who is a single mother from a different country struggling to raise us. She doesn't have time to worry about our feelings Oyinda you have to take care of you. You need to stop looking out there at what other kids have & realize we were& will never be the kids to have it easy. So if you want something you need to get it. Don't depend on nobody! & stay humble & grateful while your at it because at the same time we aren't the kids who are getting killed in Palestine. You have to put things like that into perspective." These words from my brother just keep replaying in my head tonight as I'm laying down. Because I just feel like I don't have any help. Financially & emotionally. I want someone there to listen. & I want someone there help me out when I need it. & usually kids my age depend on there parents but I have to accept that my situation is different than most. I have a mother who is struggling & is sooooo far in to her own views that won't even stand a chance to listen to one opinion of mine. I have to accept what I have though & take it for what it is. Because though it's a little crappy I still feel lucky to have a parent at all. It just means I have to work a little bit harder than the average joe to get anything I want. (What would I do without my love my brother Abayo)
