I wish I can say the same…
If you come from a large family like me, you know that it’s more chaos than harmony most of the time. There are squabbles, arguments, never-ending discussions, and grudges. It’s part of family life!

My own bedroom
Sometimes I feel so bitter about things. Is it too much to ask for my own bedroom? I think not. I think it’s a little thing to be wishing for and yet one that hasn’t happen yet. I don’t know why I don’t have my own bedroom when I am earning more than what the [...]
