Wealth
Growing up on a barren and impoverished planet, I never had much to call my own.
My family lived in a small, dusty hut that barely protected us from the harsh winds that swept across the desert. But we made do with what little we had, and we were happy in our own way. We didn't have much material wealth, but we had each other.
Upon arriving on Earth and embarking on my journey towards wealth, I believed that acquiring possessions and status would bring me even greater happiness. For a time, it seemed that way.
I lived in a luxurious apartment in the heart of New York City, drove a fancy car, and dined at the finest restaurants. But the more I had, the more I realized how much I missed the simplicity and authenticity of my old life.
Back on my home planet, we used to gather around a small fire at night and share stories and laughter. We made our own toys and games, and spent hours exploring the endless expanse of desert around us. There was a sense of connection and love that came from sharing so little, but sharing it all with each other.
Here in New York, I feel disconnected and alone, even with all my possessions and wealth. I miss the sense of community and belonging that came with my humble upbringing.
I know how this sounds, but as I look back on my life, I've come to understand that true happiness comes not from what we have, but from the relationships we cultivate and the love we share with others.
