Perspective

Past year trials changed me a lot. 180 degree.
A blessing in disguise, I must say.

I used to be the usual spoiled brat.
I get what I want. Boastful. Loud. Spirited.
I don't care about others.
All I know is I have the money and my parents will provide it for me.
I am not what I am now.

Like any teens, I  went thru a rebel stage.
Hating everyone in the family.

Years gone by, I grew. I matured.
But still reckless when it comes to money.

I never thought I'll be the person that I am today.
Credit to my parents and friends, who were there during my dark and twisted times.

My salary is not as big compared to others. I'm earning just enough to pay bills and for my allowance. No savings. I'm kinda worried about my future. Unlike before I must strive harder if I want something. Unlike before, whenever I needed the money my ever generous parents will give it to without hesitations.

Before was before.
Present is tough.
Future is tougher.

Where I'm working right now is considered the Central Business District of MM. With all the tall buildings, yuppies in their uniforms and groomed, executives in their luxurious cars, there are still beggars and displaced family in dark alleys. Smelly, dirty and miserable. I cannot imagine how they live their life like that. But whenever I passes that alley, the smiles in their faces, playing and enjoying life despite not having anything, there it stuck to me, I'm still blessed compared to them. I have everything--my FAMILY and FRIENDS, house, water, food, clothes, work, etc. I HAVE EVERYTHING. Why the hell I'm still looking for more?? Contentment is the key. Money will not make me a better person

And oh, I don't entertain haters. Hate itself is evil. Envy is another. I don't understand users--those who act as your friends because they want something from you and when you have no purpose to them they'll trash you as if they're angels sent from down under. Gossip-mongers. Brown-nosers. Haters.

With what's happening lately around the world, let's just be thankful for what we have. I, myself, am tired of wishing I have this and that... I am tired of asking. Someday... Somehow... Everything will fall into places just by keeping the faith.

Life isn't easy. I realized.
Life isn't fair. I concurred.
Life is life. You live.
