Reality Bites
I am currently...
- Young -- just a couple of months shy of officially having the infamous quarter-life crisis.
- Clueless -- seeking a fulfilling career after a two-year dead-end medical transcription job which I let go six months ago.
- Lost -- moved out almost two years ago for reasons I'd rather not discuss here.
- Tired -- chores, chores, chores...doing this and that which leaves me exhausted.
- Stressed -- bills, bills, bills...dealing with inflation rates left and right, which then leaves me...
- Broke -- um...sad to say but yup...very self-explanatory, don't you think?
- Weak -- still nursing the wound from the procedure I had a week-and-a-half ago.
- Alive -- still have many years ahead of me to try new activities and meet people along the way.
- Growing -- yet to find my niche in the money-making world for I will not settle for a so-so mediocre job just for the sake of having one.
- Independent -- deciding on my own and bracing myself to face consequences of my actions.
- Fulfilled -- having a sense of accomplishment that I can do stuff that are mostly relied on help.
- Learning -- accounting, budgeting, and mastering the schedule of cut-offs and deadlines.
- Surviving -- sacrificing the extra sweets in life but not denying myself of happiness.
- Recovering -- getting better as each day passes.
But most of all, I am...
- Loved -- Aside from family and friends, I am truly thankful to have someone who is so wonderful and beautiful inside and out--to support and take care of me, to be my pilar of strength, to be my greatest fan at the same time my critic, to understand my quirks, to just be there.
No matter how hard I try to convince myself that life sucks, I still end up thinking that am blessed one way or the other. Yes, there are raging waves in the sea called Life, but stop and notice the serenity and calmness as you look further towards the horizon. Isn't it peaceful and soothing that the waves become part of the whole scene? It all depends on where your concentration lies; it's deciding on which direction to look.
I'm not saying I have the perfect psyche to easily shift moods and go to my happy place whenever things go haywire. My point is to accept that nothing and no one is perfect; learn to just...Live and love life! (",)

hey girl. love you! always look at the bright side of everything. life always has two sides of the coin, and it's better to look at life with a positive glow, diba? We are all experiencing the similarities of what you had written, in one form or another, and we still decide to stretch our arms wide open and embrace what comes. ---mahal
One thing is for sure, you are not alone on that roller coaster ride huny. We're all screaming and throwing our arms up in the air there with ya ;) It is important to count our blessings and remember what really matters, especially during times that everything seems to be turning to sh*t. Easier said than done, but we're so lucky because those moments of bliss and utter contentment DO come. Especially if we seek them more often.
Love you and must see you soon. Since we're both broke, I will visit you one day when you and Pao are free! Or whenever you feel like coming over let me know. We can watch DVDs and pig-out :)
such a great way to look at life :)
cheers!
Mahal, Cristina, jillsabs: Thanks! Nice to know I'm not alone in this painstaking journey for I have a great support system--that includes you, my dear friends. Love you, too!
Oh, btw, Cristina...I miss you and your craziness hahaha! We have gotta hook up soon...pigging out is always a great idea! heehee (",)
