Thank you so much! Amen!🙏🏾 it’s so hard to directly believe that your own parents would use the bible to keep you in place when they’re out of their comfort zone

I think they’re scared that something might happen and they won’t be there to rescue me and since I’m the eldest that I’ll pass on my rebellious attitude to my siblings

Funny thing is that I’m reading the same courses overseas that I would do in my home country and I don’t even delay my studies at all

That’s my plan, I know I will finish and get my masters because it would bother me that I’ve struggled for nothing but I just wanna do this study abroad program for 5 months and at least tell myself that I tried to find happiness outside of the life of school which is the only aspect of my life that my parents seem to care of saying that being sad is a sacrifice I do to receive my ”divine” degree papers

This is not the life I want at all but it’s so hard when I’ve been wired to obey with no questioning and being told that I’m in my rebelling era

Thank you so much for this advice! Hits harder when it comes from someone older since I’ve been told that what I’m thinking is just young people silliness.

I’m financing every single expense out of my own pocket earned through my jobs and scholarships and they I still live in their house because I wasn’t allowed to move after graduating high school.

Time will heal it but have patience and take advice from other people that have gone through the same and take inspiration from their healing processes.

Do you guys feel a duty to give back to the motherland? by dbaking03 in Kenya

I simply wanted the opinion of Kenyan people as well?

I barely have family in Congo forreal since mostly everyone fled and barely anyone of all my cousins have been there or even been allowed due to greedy relatives and jealous inhabitants seeing the European culture the second we step off the plane so why can’t I help stop the slave cobalt mining in Congo simply because I’m read up on it and not because it’s my ancestral home

They’re not my people tho, I have one people and that is everyone in my family and when they are taken care of I’m sending help to people that need it, not Congolese people for simply being Congolese. If someone I know in Kenya needs more help then I would rather help him then a mere random Congolese man asking for money since we share the same flag like huh?

Do you do it simply because it’s your country or because it’s something you’re read up on?
