My name is Peter and for years I struggled to keep my business alive. What began as a small shop full of dreams quickly turned into a nightmare. Sales dropped month after month, shelves remained dusty, and instead of counting profits, I spent sleepless nights calculating debts.
Neighbors whispered that I had made a mistake starting the business. Some openly mocked me, saying I should quit and find employment like everyone else. Friends who once promised to support me slowly drifted away. Even my own family started advising me to close the shop because it was wasting both time and money. Deep down, I wondered if maybe they were right.
