Life changes: learn from your experience

Article #145

Until now my mind is floating away out of encouragement because Of many problems that exist in life. But I always believe that challenges are just tools for how I grow up and become a responsible and better person in the future. I'm not here for nothing, I want to share how my life changed from years past until now on what I become.

For today's blog, I also want to share my thoughts and experiences on how my life changed from before I become a mum until this time. I've come up with this idea from sis @Ruffa and it was answered also by other writers.

" signs that my life now is better than before".

Through the years, at a young age, I've experienced a lot about how cruel the world is to me. Because of the status of our living before, I need to work at an early age to help my parents. I became a housemaid at the age of 15 to sustain my schooling. We are only renting a small home with almost 8 members in a family. I only finished high school and find a job even though I'm at underage at that time. Until I worked part-time in a small job out of the company as a stay-in. The worst is, aside from the small salary, I sleep on the floor with a cartoon as my blanket. I need also to budget my food every meal an amount of 40 pesos(0.71$). Because I only have 3 dollars per day as my daily wages.

At the age of 18, I met my other half and we have the same workplace. We love and caress each other until we decided to live together and for me, it was the time my life begin to change. I cannot say that it develops better because there are a lot of struggles and hardships I encountered worse than expected. I thought it was the beginning of easy life but I was wrong. We lost our job because the line of our work is just temporary. There are times I cry secretly at night, I keep on praying and praying until a good opportunity reaches us at last.

I can say that now my life is better than before because of the following:

1. We can eat 3 times a day.

2. I can buy new clothes every Christmas.

3. I can treat my family in a fast food chain randomly.

4. I can buy a cake for my daughter before we only boil eggs for the celebrant.

5. Less debt, less headache

My realization,

No matter what my life was going through, I never regretted it because all those experiences I take as an inspiration to work hard and to endure all the pain and all the restless nights I spent just to have earnings for my living. I grew up independently, striving for those hardest times on my own. I always have the feeling of good life ahead of me that's the reason why I become a better version of myself. I take those experiences as my inspiration to learn more and value the things I have now. We all have different reasons for our actions. learn and most of the time don't forget to enjoy life no matter what. Life is short, don't waste your time on grudges.🥰
