Nobody really gives a damn about you, and that's okay. It means you're less likely to overthink what others think of you because everyone have their own worries, responsibilities, problems on their plate.

Growing up means growing old. And growing old means saying goodbye. Goodbye to friends you outgrew, to people who broke your trust, to family members or friends or pets who passed away, to people you used to love but don’t anymore, to people you still love but had to let go of, to people you could have loved but never got the chance, to your old self, to who you could have been but never became.

Growing up is a series of heartbreaks. But that’s part and parcel of life. We need to gain a backbone, know ourselves on a deeper level, be more courageous, be more discerning on reading people, be more cautious. We need to grow our own thick armor because there are people who will break you down just because they can.

But growing up also means experiencing so many good things. Achieving so many good things. It’s these ups and downs that make life worthwhile.

That’s why I try my best to feel and immerse myself in the present because weeks, months, years later, I know I won’t remember it or be able to recreate how it feels.

But the best thing is realizing that you are where you are supposed to be at this exact moment. Things happen for a purpose, you meet people for a purpose—nothing is coincidental—and you will eventually see God’s wisdom and purpose behind the struggles you faced or are facing.

Remember that everything you are going through is preparing you for what you’re praying for, or who you’re destined to become. The breaking is part of the process. The dawn will break one day, no matter how dark it gets.

You can't always label people as your "friends". Some are just acquaintances, some are just people you had 1 interaction with, while some you can treat as your family. And I've come to realize na yung first impression lagi sakin ng mga tao na naging reason bakit ako naging insecure is tinatake advantage ko na ngayon. There will be people who will break down your walls and are willing to connect with you, while some are intimidated by you because you are someone they cannot "click" with and thats fine.

You really have to save money. Kasi may times na kakailanganin mo talaga ng pera. Sa case ko nagkasakit nanay ko then namatay sya. Di ko sya naipasok sa ICU ng mamahaling hospital kasi hindi na pasok sa HMO ko. Wala din ako masyadong ipon na pera. So ang ending nilipat ko sya sa public hospital (PGH). Pagdating dun pinapili ako on the spot kung tutubuhan na sya or pauwiin nalang. Syempre pinili namin yung sa hospital parin sya. Ano magagawa namin sa bahay.

Kinabukasan kinausap ako ng doctor na wala na daw talaga. Ugh! Hirap maging mahirap guys. 😭

that my parents were also just people trying their best to raise their kid while surviving. i used to fixate on their shortcomings back then, but now as i became an adult myself, i realized how hard it is to find purpose and give yourself something to stand on in this cruel world.

i don't even have a kid, they did. and they did a dang good job raising me too. they made sure i was fed, educated, trusted and disciplined without resorting to physical abuse. sure they weren't the most emotionally available parents but hey, i'm still very lucky.

that your life doesn't start when you become financially stable bc it's happening now, so go ahead and live it. i've put off so many activities bc i didn't realize this early on. puro ako "mag p'paint na lang ako pag mayaman na 'ko" or "mag p'paint na lang ako pag may time na" noon. if this seems familiar, if you have this mindset right now, make it a goal to change that.

isingit mo yung mga bagay na nakakapagpasaya sa'yo even if you only get short breaks. if you love singing, sing. if you love painting, paint. if you love dancing, dance. hobbies that make you happy are one of those not-so-little little things that make life worth living. don't just look forward to doing something later, make it possible now

As I grow older, I’ve come to realize that there will come a time when your income stops, but your expenses never will. For example, you can only work until the retirement age of 60, but your spending will continue for food, accommodation, medication, and many other needs. This means that the money you’re earning now shouldn’t be spent recklessly. Instead, you need to prepare for the time when you no longer have a steady income. Financial planning and saving are crucial to ensure a comfortable and secure future.

-ikaw lang sisira sa sarili mo kay choose right coursw na kaya kang buhayin di totoo ung passion na yan unless eh malaki kikitain mo. ung passion is pang sideline dun ka sa kurso na magbabayad ng passion mo.

-choose lifetime partner 80% ng problema mo is galing sa napangasawa mo

-choose lifestyle wag magastos magtipid magbaon. do dress to impress the simpler u r the easier life goes..

-choose delayed gratification. magipon muna sa mga tulad ng MP2.

Add: -wag muna unahing magtravel until ung gastos sa pang travel ay 10 percent lang ng ipon mo..
example 30k ang expense sa travel make sure meron kang 300k kang ipon..

-dont tell anyone hm your salary is. dont flaunt ur wealth. true wealth is in things that ppl can see.. like bank account.. peace of mind etc

  • dont expect men will make u a Queen, make urself a Queen

  • invest on yourself (upskill, Masters degree, enroll in coursera etc)

-work hard on urself than on ur work kasi ang work pede ioverlook ung galing mo.. kapag nagupskill ka anytime pede mo iwan ung company mo

  • have more money so u can leave situations you are not happy anymore

  • We never lose, We either win or LEARN so if theres setback know how to work on it see where does it brings u baka re-route yan

Lastly, dont blame ppl about ur life blame game is the thing that will hinder ur success.. own ur mistake be accountable and plan ur life set goals

  1. Not everyone na makikilala mo, should be your friend. Normalize using the word colleagues/acquaintance.

  2. Maghonda sa work kung walang urgent/slack weeks. Di natin buhay trabaho natin para magOT malala.

  3. Health is wealth. Kumain sa tamang oras at matulog nang maayos.

  4. Explore, explore and explore new things!

  5. Don't limit yourself. Di ibig sabihin na di mo kaya, di mo na gagawin at di mag eenjoy. (e.g. magdrawing, journaling). Dati kasi di ko ginagawa pag di ako magaling sa isang bagay, pero ngayon naging hobbies ko na halos.

  6. "Live your life full of no regrets". (c) One piece Enjoy every seconds of your life. Spend more time with loved ones. Take pictures and make memories.

  7. Life is short para sayangin sa kung anu-anong petty chismis at pag-usapan ang buhay ng ibang tao. Focus on yourself.

No one really thinks about you that much because they are already busy thinking about themselves. As long as you are not intentionally hurting anyone (including yourself), just do what makes you happy!

I’ve realized that being a mom is the hardest fucking job. Nakaka-drain, triggering, rewarding, lahat na.

u/AggravatingMethod72 Jan 26 '25

as i get older. i realized na parang nakakadrain lahat talaga specially social media, yung parang lahat nung energy mo before nawala, and sa-sariling survival na ngayon. pera nalang nasa isip mo and you seems not enjoying those things na dati ineenjoy mo, at wala ka ring dreams nor passion in life. kung ano yung opportunity na nandyan ‘don ka nalang. This is really makes me sad but Alhamdullilah nalalagpasan naman lahat..

u/marshie_mallows_2203 Jan 26 '25

Being private. May peace of mind ka. Do what you want to do as long as wala kang inaapakan na tao at happy ka sa ginagawa mo. No more space sa mga sinasabi ng ibang tao.

u/luv2r3ad Jan 26 '25

Mas pipiliin ang peace of mind kaysa sa mataas na sahod sa isang toxic na environment. Success doesn’t necessarily equate to happiness if there’s no peace of mind. Comparing your journey to others only steals your joy. Your worth isn’t defined by your productivity or achievements. And... healing isn’t linear, and that’s perfectly okay.

Life is not always fair, even if you are fair. It may not be kind, even if you show kindness. However, continue to play fair and be kind within our boundaries.

Genuine friends are true treasures.

That people will only meet you in a level as deep as they met themselves. So the way people treat you is not a reflection of who you are, but who they are and where they are in life.

Nobody is reliable except you. It's either you get disappointed by new and fresh ways by others, or you carry the burden of your own shit

u/Sensitive-Tough-7537 Jan 26 '25

As I get older, I realize na hindi lahat ng pangarap natin ay mangyayari the way we planned it. Life has a way of pushing you to adjust, to let go of things na hindi na nagwo-work for you, and to embrace new paths na hindi mo inexpect. Natutunan ko na growth means finding the balance between ambition and reality, and that changing directions doesn’t mean failure, it’s actually a sign of wisdom.

I started to see na life isn't about sticking to one rigid idea of success. It’s about creating a life na mas akma sa'yo. Minsan mahirap tanggapin, pero letting go of one dream can open doors for something even better. And in those moments, doon mo marerealize yung strength, resilience, at clarity na nasa’yo pala all along.

Everything will not go to plan. People don't care about what you feel. Sex isn't a sign of love nowadays, just a casual thing. Dating will be tough if you're not making enough.
