Some Things You Just Can't Refuse

In life, there are things that we keep on choosing, no matter what. It could be food, a habit, or a person. Sounds familiar? Haha, is it a red flag? Well, I'll leave the thinking to you.

Thanks for sticking around, sponsors! ❤️

A few days ago, I talked with a friend about my decision to attend the Music Festival. True enough that the concert is pricey but the idea of it happening once a year... or more.. keeps on running through my head.

If I were to attend the concert, the consequence is that I'd get to spend a lot on it. Aside from the ticket that costs almost Php 16,000, the venue is a bit far from my place, so my friend and I would need to rent an Airbnb or stay in a nearby hotel since it's a two-day event.

It's pricey, and yet you'd still go for it. That's what my friend said after I mentioned that I'd still push through (if there are no conflicts with my schedule). I told her that some things are worth choosing despite the consequences. 

After a while, a thought popped up. What are the other things I keep choosing despite the consequences?

• Staying up late at night 

  Sleepy mornings and waiting for the caffeine to kick in. Despite the feeling of being exhausted, I like staying up late. This past few months, I have found myself productive at night.

• Ordering via Grab Food

  I keep ordering snacks through Grab food even if we have food stocks at home. There are days when I really crave something. Good thing food deliveries are there to the rescue. The cons? Sooo pricey!

•  Drinking with friends on a weekday 

  I can't say no to my friends who keep asking for my presence on a weekday night, even if it makes me sleepy the next day. I've learned how to limit my alcohol intake somehow when we drink on a weekday because I have classes the next day. I can't afford to be a drunk teacher! Lol.

To be honest, there are a lot aside from these things. Are these things worth it? Hmm, at some point, yes, but most of the time, I complain about how these things negatively affected me. Despite the consequences, I'm still choosing these. Lol. Perhaps I need to change for the better.

How about you? What are the things that you keep on choosing despite the consequences?

Thanks for reading this random article of mine! I hope you had a great weekend!
