A Man

A man should be responsible for his family, and I am no different. As a father of three children, I am deeply committed to providing for them. However, I’ve come to realize that the cost of living continues to rise, especially with growing children. Education fees, daily needs, and unexpected expenses are all increasing. While my responsibilities multiply, my income has remained the same as it was when I had only one child. This imbalance between income and expenses is creating stress that is hard to manage.

Despite the pressure, I still carry out my daily responsibilities. I wake up, go to work, and continue doing what needs to be done. However, it’s becoming clearer that just doing regular activities might not be enough anymore. The results are not changing, and I feel stuck in a cycle. My effort remains the same. increases. but the rewards do not grow with it. That can be incredibly discouraging.

Trying different ways to earn extra income has also been exhausting. Whether it’s freelance work, side jobs, or small business ideas, nothing seems to bring consistent or satisfying results. The time and energy spent often outweigh the return, and I’m left feeling drained. It’s difficult to stay motivated when the results are minimal and progress feels out of reach.

Low salary and a lack of interest from customers or clients make the situation worse. Sometimes I wonder how long I can keep going like this without losing myself in the process. Still, I know I have to stay strong ,not just for me, but for my children. They are my purpose, and giving up is not an option.
