As a secular this holiday season. I can tolerate stuff, attend mass, but please, huwag nyo ko pilitin maging cheerful at sumayaw sa mga christmas parties nyo.
Living solo is romanticized until we get sick. No one will do some care work for you. You still need to get up, get some water, drink your meds, all while having to do your laundry, cook your dinner, and wash the dishes because no one will take care of those but you.
The secret to life is to stay curious. Learn a new skill, get into Russian literature, start gardening, cultivate a niche interest. We live in a beautiful and fascinating world; do not let routine and problems and to-do lists destroy your sense of wonder.
I cannot stress how important it is to find a partner who believes in you so wholeheartedly that when you feel like you can't do something… they remind you that you can.
Relationships are simple: meet a lot of people to understand who you don't want to be; spend a lot of time alone to become who you want to be; focus on meaningful goals that allow you to be valuable and useful to people around; you will naturally attract who you want to be with.
bitter sweet moment for me to see my previous colleagues. i was happy working with them back then, i just needed growth.
not all opportunities for growth lead to happiness and fulfillment.
