Life changes in ways we never expect. When I was a child, I believed life would always be simple and beautiful. My childhood was filled with joyful memories playing in the rice fields, swimming in the river, and exploring gardens surrounded by nature. I grew up in a middle class family that was not rich, but we had enough to live comfortably. My parents worked hard, and our home was full of love, laughter, and togetherness. Those days shaped my belief that happiness came from simple things.
As I grew older, I began to see that life is not as simple as I once thought. Being a parent today, I often feel sad that I cannot give my children a childhood better than my own. The world has changed . There is less nature, more competition, and greater financial pressure. Sometimes I feel trapped in the constant struggle just to survive, as if every effort to move forward ends up taking me back to the same place.
I have tried many ways to improve my life working harder, saving more, and learning new skills but often the results are uncertain. It is easy to feel tired when progress seems slow or invisible. Yet deep down, I still believe that change is possible.
Maybe the answer lies in thinking and acting differently. Perhaps real change begins from within by shifting my mindset, finding contentment, and staying hopeful.
In the end, I can only do what I can keep trying, keep believing, and keep hoping that one day, the change will come.
