I always value my quality time with friends because it heals me. Our situation at home is different, and it’s also different when I’m alone. So as much as possible even if my budget is kinda low, yes it sucks. I treasure every moment to eat with them, have fun with them, laugh with them. I don’t let them know that I don’t have any money. I don’t tell them my problem at home. I just bond with them until I forget my problem even for a second.
This brings to mind a quote from one of my favourite authors, Richard Bach: “The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.” ― Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
thanks for that
