Homeless: Breaking The Habit Street Kid

    • Selbstverwirklichung

This story is about my birthday which falls on Christmas Day. My family, particularly my grandparents who are devout Catholics, do not believe in celebrating birthdays and instead prioritize the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. As a result, I never had a birthday party growing up. However, on my 14th birthday, my mom surprised me with a birthday cake and a gift of $1000. But the happiness is short-lived when my mother tells me that I need to leave the house the next day, as she can no longer tolerate my behavior, which reminds her of my father. I chose the song “Breaking the Habit” by Linkin Park as the subtitle knowing the song is about drug addiction but children cost money, drain you physically and mentally also they are not easy to quit “abandon”.
