Yes, I grew up in a very unappreciative setting. There was a lot of arguing; not many life lessons.
My spiritual life did not begin until I got into Buddhism after getting sick. I was around 22.
And I have been struggling. And it wasn't til this year (I am 35), after having to learn how to walk again after 2 broken bones, that I have turned around. I am saying "I am so glad we have clean running water we can drink and bathe in."
It's definitely nice just to have clean air and to be around nice people. I have overwhelming joy sometimes, now, just because of these small, wonderful things.
I am starting to exercise again.
Yes, struggles are real, we both know. It's cliche but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. It may be ourselves again. Some very bad things have happened to me, but I maintain a positive attitude because that just who I am.
Cheers
