It's clear that you have faced significant challenges from a young age, learning to struggle and fend for yourself in order to survive. This early exposure to hardship undoubtedly shapes one's character and resilience.

Certainly, your life journey would be different from that of a child growing up in a supportive and comfortable environment; you would undoubtedly be more mature and strong in facing this tough life. You rightly emphasize that experiences are not solely defined by age but are heavily influenced by the circumstances we encounter and how we navigate them.

Thank you for this inspiring story. Keep going strong!
