I Received Two Disconnection Notices Today.
There will always be a time when we will face something as an adult, paying bills and more. Then comes the day you will realize that money is something that could move everything it will wash away the pain of stress, from so a simple thing to a more complex concern. One cent causes a lot, a few coins are a treasure. That’s the day you will realize that being an adult is stressful, you need to pay for everything, and budgeting is tiresome and has never been easy.
The title that I got was just click baits, I don’t have disconnection notice or summon. But I do receive those two pieces of paper in my own hand, my neighbor has them yet they were out that day so I am the one who received them.
I don’t judge them as not paying or ignoring their responsibility. It actually gives me the fear of being an adult, that what if the day comes I am the one who will receive a summon and a disconnection letter? That will be stressful indeed, where you have no cent left in your wallet or you have no money left in savings. Where it's really a tragedy of being none.
I am unemployed at the moment, yet for these past few days, I could say that I always have something in my wallet. Even though I have no work still live comfortably and buy the things I want and need with my own money, I am financially independent even though I have no stable job, well internet does those things for me.
I do live differently from others, we don’t pay any house rentals, even the water distribution for we have our own land and pumping water. We just have to make a simple living.
Imagine thinking of the house rental monthly, and paying your water bills. Then comes the day you were not in a better phase, and comes a disconnection letter. Saying you forgot to pay so you need to pay and also there was a charge for it that had an overdue penalty.
Those things are just imaginary for me now, but there is the legit possibility that soon happened as I will grow my own family, I will be needed to force myself to work even if I have in bad conditions, then comes the payday where you just live and work to pay the bills. Surely you will be excited about all the things that happen, but surely you will in trouble thinking of what if in life, comes the regrets.
I am a futuristic man and thinking about the future maybe makes me some sort of planner. Imagine the disconnection of electricity when you have a baby that crying because of heat inside the house, or your wife is suffering because you can't give her what the family needs, they cant bathe for the water was out, and payment is first required. This is my imagination yet for some they were experiencing the thing in their life.
Poor as we are, someone is more suffering.
Being an adult shall be considered not that you are sexually mature and emotionally capable but in the reality, you need to be financially ready, dwelled, and more importantly becomes more proper in money.
I felt pity for them, looking at the two disclosure notices about taxation and water. It’s huge money needed to pay as early as they could. I also knew that they were financially not reasonable at the moment, yet there was no choice, they need to pay off the remaining balance, and the penalty fee obliged them to look.
But what I can do, is that was their problem and everyone agreed that we all have this personal problem at the end of the day.
As I grows young, I also loved that I encountered nothing in my early ages, cut with the electricity supply for we have no money to pay, yet still, I am innocent those times.
Thinking about the future nowadays wasn’t just about where to have vacation or what food we preferred at our birthday parties or any event. Thinking that your family is safe and all they need will be given to me as they need especially food and security of needs.
Disconnections or any notice wasn’t that shameful to say, it's okay. I feel like maybe someone or anybody here right now or have this kind of auction in life, I don’t judge you nor condemn you.
I know how stressful thinking of those in life but that was a taste of being alive alone. Keep fighting, working, and dreaming. Thanks for reading…
Kami kuryente at tubig ang ang bills namin monthly. Pero unang rule dito sa bahay, h'wag mag-iipon ng bills. If we received it now, pay it as soon as possible. Kasi mas mabigat kapag naipon.
