She adds with emotion: “Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that bad, but oftentimes it makes me sad. I want to live that nuclear life, with a happy dad and his loving wife.”, reports the Express.
Yearning for an idyllic existence, she continued: “A picket fence, a shaggy dog, a fireplace with a burning log, but it’s not real, it’s just a dream, I cannot cry or even scream. So here I sit with cat number three, life would be easy if there were two of me.”
The clip has taken TikTok by storm, notching up over 7.1 million views and winning the hearts of 1.3 million users with its emotional content.
