Grateful for my parents having my back while I’m studying abroad 💙 via /r/gratitude

Right now I’m in that awkward stage where I’ve just started working in a new country, but I haven’t gotten my first paycheck yet. Between rent, groceries, and all the small daily costs, the money situation has been tight, honestly tighter than I expected when I came here.

What’s been keeping me afloat is my parents. Even from thousands of miles away, they noticed I was stressed and without making me feel guilty, they stepped in to help financially. Just a little support here and there, but it made such a huge difference. More than the money itself, it’s knowing they see me and want me to succeed without sinking before I even get started.

Being abroad can feel isolating sometimes, but their help reminded me that I’m not actually alone, I’ve got people who’ve got my back no matter where I am. And for that, I’m endlessly grateful.
