Have You Reflected on Your Life, Lately?

Date: June 24, 2022 (Friday)

It's been a a while Read community. How are you all? A lot of things are going on in my life lately that yielded on my inactivity. Most of the time, I wanted to soak my time again here, but the reality of life keeps on dragging me to what I need to do. I need to do this and that. I guess I just need to balance my unbalanced life. Anyway, as I thought about life, it reminds me of my thoughts lately.

How ironic it is that I wanted to grow up so fast when I was young, but now that I am older, I just wanted to visit my younger years and just stay there for a long time. Right now my thoughts revolve on opportunuties that I want to take.

Not to mention, I want to go to another country and work to provide a higher amount for my family. I want to give them the best life they deserve, but due to some reasons, I cannot. I am left with nothing, literally. I have a lot of plans, but I guess those plans cannot be achieved since my money is still on hold. Sometimes, I can't help but feel sad. I have a stable job, yet I don't have a money for myself; even to pamper myself sometimes. I want to travel and buy the things I want, but I am left with just plans.

How cruel life is. I thought when I have my work, I can finally enjoy life. But unexpected obligations came in that left me helpless. It's like I am just working and waiting for that time that I will be compensated. Howbeit, I am still positive about life though. I believe things will be better soon. But I can't help but feel down these days, but I am just masking it with a smile.

Now, as I reflected about my life, I realized that I am not struggling, it's just that I still don't have the money monthly. I realized that my finances is light enough, but my money is just still on hold. I realized that my work is enough and I don't need to go abroad to earn. I realized that the obligations are not mine though, but I have thought that it's mine and that made me down. I am just helping, so I guess I need not stress my self out.

Perhaps, if there comes a time that I will go to another country, my goal is just to earn and provide for my family for them to have a better living. Although they are already satisfied with their way of living, but I still want to give them the best that they deserve. I want to give back to them in someway because they have gone through a lot before just to give me a better future. Now that I have my job, it's my turn to make them happy.

You see, life will always make us reflect on every nitty-gritty of our lives. It will make us reflect on the path that we are taking. It will make us sad, happy, angry and no other emotions not touched. It will make us feel pressured in someway. But life will always give us lessons. Lessons that are worth embracing. Lessons that will make us grow. Lessons that will makes our journey more meaningful.

Moreover, life may be tough lately, but I believe that it will never be this way forever. I believe that there comes a time when life will feel so light and that we will not feel stressed out that much. There comes a time when it's so wonderful to journey in life. When things feel so perfect and no unpleasant thoughts bothering us. Not to mention, it's inevitable to feel all the ups and downs of life, so we must embrace it and accept the reality of it. It may be tough sometimes, but you know it is what it is and just hold it with positivity.

What are your life thoughts lately?
