Hi. I am writing this blog this midnight because there's this one question that keeps on bothering me. "Why is it expensive to live?"
I know that one of my goals is to have a good sleeping routine but, I just can't sleep tonight if I'm not going to discuss this with all of you.
Hear me out, the world is changing rapidly and our wants and needs also change. The more we stay on this planet, the more it gets difficult to live.
Considering that I live here in the province where life is more simpler and peaceful, it's still not enough for me. Even if we say that we live a simple life, it's still expensive. Why? We have bills to pay like water bill, electricity bill, transportation, and other maintenance.
Aside from that, this new learning set-up makes it even difficult for us students to survive because not all of us are privileged enough to buy ourselves gadgets and even e-load. It sucks realizing that money plays a major role in our lives. That money will make us feel things. It will make us feel sad about our status in life.
I've mentioned in my previous article about finding our purpose in life. Realizing it now, maybe the purpose of why we work is being able to provide for ourselves. To have the comfortable life that we truly deserve. I know we are still going to experience ups and downs in our lives, but we can achieve it by having good education.
It's not about living a simple life but realizing that money plays a huge part in our lives. This pandemic, we struggled financially. Most of us. Some got retrenched from their work, some suffered from this virus, from studying, and the stress this pandemic brought to us.
I came across this news where a pregnant woman gave birth outside of the hospital. It's because she doesn't have enough money for her to get swabbed. Fvck this protocols. It's a matter of life and death already.
When will we stop worrying about being hospitalized and having problems with our funeral bills? I mean, mamatay na nga lang tas may poproblemahin pa. Are we just going to work for the rest of our lives for all this to be settled? As if we were making a bucket list before we die that we should cross out.
If only politicians are just being honest with their work and not taking the country's budget, then, we will have a better country to live in.
When will we ever live the life where money no longer has a big role in our lives? Where it will no longer be a necessity and living a simple life is all that enough.
Note.
This is an impromptu blog where I spoke about my thoughts on living in this world. On how money makes things easier for us. I hope you'll understand what this blog wants to relay.
Thank you for reading this. Strive hard in life. Always keep your head up and aim for that goal to be achieved.
XOXO

It's tough to balance things. It's easier maybe if we only think of ourselves but that is not the case. We can't just stand and let those around us suffer yet some people do that because of greed. Sad world we live in.
