6th Anniversary of Family's Immigration to USA

Six years ago, my family moved to the USA in search for a brighter future. We're uncertain about the things that we're going to experience in this new territory. Today, we're still at the same spot... Six years have gone by and living here is like a waste of time. It's like we've all been dead once we left our home country and arrived here. Life is tasteless and so unpleasant here, and the complaints and arguments among us are the only conversations we have at home. If life would be sweet after all these sufferings, then I don't know whether it's worthing to go through this enduring pain. Would the length of the joyful times that we're going to get be long enough so we could forget the misery that we suffered and embrace our new life? Almost all immigrants who return to their mother countries always exaggerate the quality and fruitfulness of life to their relatives and friends but skip all the terrible parts of their stories. Some may even build big houses to show their wealth and glory. Could those possible splendid moments offset the hardships we are experiencing now? To me, the answer is no.
