In a Telugu household… If You don’t choose yourself, don’t expect anyone else to......దారిద్రం of a పెద్ద కొడుకు

In a typical Telugu household, everyone has their own priorities.

Father will naturally stand with the successful son elder of younger . Mother will always side with the father.

Your Wife will choose the child first. Brother will support his kids and wife .

Its not always about love or fairness its just how family dynamics work. Everyone protects what they feel responsible for.

But the real realization comes one day… when you notice something quietly painful. Even you never chose yourself. You adjusted.You stayed silent.You sacrificed your time, your peace, your happiness just to keep everyone comfortable.

And when you keep putting yourself last… people slowly start assuming thats where you belong.

Being a little selfish in life is not wrong. It doesn’t mean you stop loving your family. It simply means you dont abandon yourself in the process.

In many Telugu homes, we are taught to sacrifice for everyone. But no one teaches us to protect our own peace.

At some point, you have to realize If you don’t stand for yourself, nobody else will.

Choose yourself sometimes.Respect your own time.

Protect your own peace. Because the day you start valuing yourself… even your own family will slowly learn to value you too.

In my case its too late now ..They all forgot me .

Since I live Sapta Saagaradaache Ello ....
