How often do you buy pasalubong to your family?

Often like everytime you go out of the house you bring some treats for the kids?

Me? Not really but I do buy some cheap food for them like sweet corn snack and chocolats and lolipops, and they are so happy to have them.

You know what I envy my sister, who didn't have a job hut everytime she goes to the city, she brings food, bread, especially for the family.

I keep asking how did she manage it?

I even envy those people whom I travel with in a piublic transportation, and they are bringing donuts witht them and lot of food.

Way back when I was working in the city, I can pass by on a mall but I was never able to buy treats for rhr family because the money I have is only enough for a week-long fare and allowances.

Don't get me wrong, I have a good paying job but my husbansld and I chose to invest but our investments did not went well. And no, we were investing to something , I felt this is sure but we still have along way to go and a huge amount tonpay to be able to use our investment.

It literally felt like we were working hard for nothing, but i am keeping my hopes so high and I will lengthen my patience and savor the sweet reward someday.

Yesterday

I went to the city compulsarily yesterday, and luckily, I had some spare money( allowance) ans i was able to buy shawarma in a mall because I was very hungry that it felt like I was about to faint; and also, I was able to buy bread, finally. It felt liek a great achievement for me. Im sorry if this doesn't make sense to you but here I am, celebrating my small wins in life.

It felt so satisfying, it even felt healing, and I guess ai am healing my inner child. I missed a lot of things in my earlier years and I wanted to accomplish them. Yet my financial capacity wont allow me since my priority for today was to invest ( since i wont be able to save) in the hope that someday, somehow i wont be working my as* until I retire and get sick.

I realized I can afford those things but I just won't often... For now.

I hope the day will come for me to be able to buy even the little things that I want and probabalu satisfy my inner child.

I guess it would feel so great.

Have you ever felt it?
