THOUGHTS LATELY

617052E3-B7D3-4890-A63F-601187D08F5C.jpeg

Hi everyone. This blog title has been sitting on my drafts for months now. I got caught up of making content that fits my "branding" that I forgot about acknowledging my emotions. I composed several paragraphs in my mind but I never got the time, courage and motivation to put in words those thoughts, but I think right now I have.

My year has been a roller coaster. From having a job after almost a year of staying at home due to the pandemic and going back to the same house that I left. I have my reasons why I came back, some might think it was impractical but it was the best decision that I know that time and I feel like it worked out well for me. I'm back in Cebu for almost 7 months of living the rural life in Negros Oriental.

Honestly, there are times that I want to go back there because at least there I have a daily routine that I got used to already. I met many friends and I had so many benefits in working for Anahaw. But I have no regrets about coming back here. I always remind myself of the reasons why I came back, the opportunities it lead me, and the new things I am continuously learning.

I had so many plans when I left Dauin. I was asked by a lot of people what I'm going to do next. The number of plans I had was overwhelming and I was unsure if it'll be possible for me to achieve it. It somehow put a lot of pressure on me to do something for the sake of doing something. Outside, it looks like I'm taking it easy and just keeping it slow but deep inside I was hard on myself and forcing things to happen. I was used to being an overachiever (not sure if I'm still now). I was working on myself in knowing what exactly I want to do with my life. I was told that I'm good in the field of hospitality and I should stick to it but I also want to explore other things but this exploration is not free.

What I know right now is that forcing things to happen doesn't help me in accomplishing the things I want and I have proved it many times. Many times I've been hopeless and just ready to give up, drop everything and run away but there's always a way for the Universe to remind me how far I've come and how I survived many struggles in my life.

Sometimes, I can't help to compare my life from before. A part of me misses the daily routine of my job and its benefits but at the same time, I'm still dealing with the trauma it caused me. For now, I'm blessed with opportunities every now and then from friends and acquaintances. I'm grateful to be surrounded and to be connected with people who are sharing their blessings and their knowledge with me with no expectations of something in return.

To anyone who is reading this and having a hard time figuring out your life please know that you are not alone. Your age, your economic status, your educational attainment should not pressure you in doing something that doesn't serve you. I know, this is not a practical tip and I don't want you to take this literally. Remember that you have the power to curate the life you want to live. There will be struggles but let's face it with power, confidence, and positivity that we will be able to get it through.

Beautiful thoughts Kuya! Proud of you for having the courage to share these thoughts. No matter where we are in life we'll never know how life goes, it's truly hard to figure out which way to go that is why we must embrace each season of our lives 🤗

Things changed too fast and too often. Well not only you I do have the same situation. Eventually sometimes sitting there alone looking at the star thinking that why this and why now? Man the frustration 🥲 the struggles and the tension rise as you become older 😞😞. 2 years of pandemic still the same....results 😞

Exactly. The pandemic is not helping us at all. But I do believe that there is something good about all of this. We just need to focus on it.

It is sometime stressful to be in a situation wherein you feel the need to achieve everyone does but you simply just cant.

The pandemic does take its toll...

Many times I've been hopeless and just ready to give up, drop everything and run away but there's always a way for the Universe to remind me how far I've come and how I survived many struggles in my life.

I too experience an emotion roller coaster in this year. Sometime the feeling really overwhelm until I want to give up my life. But what make me stay is the thought of how my family would live without me...

To anyone who is reading this and having a hard time figuring out your life please know that you are not alone

Thank you for sharing your thought. I somehow understand what you feel because I myself are experiencing it..

May we are strong to go through this life 🙏🙏🙏

You're welcome. Before sharing this post, I was hesitant because I was too afraid of sharing something vulnerable but I think it what makes us human. I'm aware that people will be able to relate to this and Im glad my post connected to you. We are not alone in this journey. We can do this.

I did try to share my feeling with a friend. But the way he commented at my sharing, is somehow translated to what I am experiencing is normal and I shouldn't be feeling like this since I am a man and a head of the family.

My last resort was to express my feeling in HIVE. I am grateful that the friend in HIVE are more understanding and supportive 😁

I can't blame your friend. Our society has that kind of mindset which requires men to bottle up their feelings. As if we dont have emotions or we dont feel anything. Yes, what we are going through is normal but we still need to recognize and deal with it. Ignoring it wont change a thing.

Hive is a safe place to express those emotions and feelings.

I like your sense of positivity. This is an inspirational message. Several times in my life things happened where I thought that things were all over for me and eventually with patience and a positive attitude I found my place in this world. You are right, if we persevere it will happen to others who refuse to give up as well.

What a very heartfelt content po, kuya! 🤧 Sometimes, we find ourselves being taken with the waves of life to places where we least expect to be in. But I'm pretty sure there's always a reason for things that are happening. You might not yet see it now, but soon everything will make sense. AJA po! You've already made it this far 🤗

I don't mind a glimpse into your thoughts at all, Hive is great for me because it's a kind of social media where I don't have to worry about branding, filters, etc. Hive is real and for real people, so don't be afraid to share more content like this.

Dear @asasiklause , I feel the weight and pain of life hidden behind your bright smile. I thought that everyone had to bear the weight of their own life. I like your optimistic sensibility!

By the way, Who took the nice picture of you sitting on the cliff?😄

The photo was taken by my friend during our beach camp trip.

Everyone has their own pain that sometimes they choose to keep to themselves. But I want to vulnerable once in a while.

So, everyone is in fear and worry. I hope you too be careful.
