Be careful what you requested, the thing that looks like wasn’t that shown as real. Being unparalleled and stay out from your annoying parent and noisy family is not freedom but for some, it's a curse. Living just by yourself is a hex.
On the foregoing days I get sickled I realized and reminisce something unforgettable from the past worth sharing. That happened during my sophomore year of University days of my life. When I was stuck in the hurtful and huge burn situation.
Still young we assume being alone and independent is the best key to be freed from our parent’s strict hands. We often think that if we stay out from them we will be lived comfortably, no one will tell us to do that or those things. No one will give a commandment you need to obey. Life is yours and always be yours.
But when the times appear, you just want to go home. I enrolled in University 2 hours’ drive via commute, the thing in my mind is to be freed so I chose the miles away rather than nearby university. I can’t cook my food, I can't do my laundry because my Mother is always there for me, and when I choose to leave I think I can’t survive and just go home immediately.
The hardest thing during my college is when I got sick and my friends weren’t always there to accommodate me. Of course, even they want to, they also like me as innocent as a child. The first word I describe is the Mama, you can call me mama’s boy if you want but it's happened four years ago, and the experience I encountered is presently like fell yesterday.
I don’t know what to do; I just had to lay in my bed and depend on what meals my friends could provide. I stay in that position for a week and my parents didn’t know, for I want to be alone and independent. What I grasped blessing from staying out ended as a curse.
What If OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) Would Do If They Sick?
Another financier of mine during my college days is my elder sister, she decided to went to the Middle East in my second year and she says she will provide some of my allowance and expenses at the university.
Is your parent or someone from your family are working domestically? Did you ask them what they were doing when they get sick or something uncomfortable on them? If not here what they mostly do.
If it’s not that severe, they will just continue their normal daily routine. Of course, they need to earn money for their family to live comfortably even they don’t get the same thing. And if its’ hurt and can’t move their body, all they could do is to sleep and cry. For they may dream that could have a family to take care of them. This may Imaginary but it’s happening to them.
In the happy smirk, they gave there is dropping pain and sorrow, there is a curse they willing to embody and endure just to give their family the best and only the best. Some are willing to be hungry so the family she/he left has something to fill in their stomach. Are you aware of the curse they suffer?
What If Homeless Would Do If They Sick?
When we were sick we just want to stay at our houses or room to rest, but how about those people who don’t have any room or home to stays? Those street dwellers and risk-takers to have a piece of the spot to rest even just for hours to slept.
They are humans too, they could felt the same thing we were, and they were getting tired and burn their bodies because of fever.
In the time we were unwell it felt like were cold even we used the 2 layers of blanket, how about the people who don’t have even just one piece? What they do?.
The Curse of Being Alone and Independent
Everyone wants to be indecently alone, travel, or live just with themselves. We want to traverse the limitless of being independent. Gain and use our money, and besides not all the time we will have our parents on our side. We need to stand in our own one pair of legs.
This gives me such a great realization. Besides I also had the plan of accomplishing overseas, and use my knowledge and skills in modern farming, that’s why I also eager to learn a foreign language specifically English so when the times come. I could talks and express my words in the right manner.
Overseas wasn’t a joke, and some wishes to leave the country because we think most opportunity waits in other nations because our country wasn’t yet advance to have my dream career.
Away from dreaming such a thing, I also knew the consequences of what happened next. Stays out from the family, lived my own, and do the thing on my own. Be dependent on me, even we were in sickness or health.
One thing for sure in my head is that there is a curse of being alone. “No man is an island”, be careful what you wished for, never wished that you will be alone, never crave to depend only on yourself. The minute that happened, it’s become our curse.
