“Akala ko ba gusto mo yang ginagawa mo, bakit ka napapagod?”
“I find myself getting tired and frustrated with the job I used to pray for.”
For some odd reasons, there’s this stigma that when you are doing what you love, pursuing your passion, or finally working on a dream or a goal, you are not allowed to claim that you’re also having weary days.
Why? Shouldn’t it be just the opposite?
Because you are doing what you love and you’re pouring out yourself a hundred times more, then you are all the more expected to be tired at the end of the day.
Because you are pursuing your passion consistently, it’s totally normal to run out of creative ideas. But because you are passionate with what you do, you will continue to seek, search, and crave for growth.
Parehas lang kapag may tao tayong sobra nating mahal. Hindi naman habang buhay, bawat minuto, bawat segundo, gusto mo siya kasama. There will be times that you will be needing your time alone—days where you could give yourself your precious “me time.” So when you’re together again with this person you love, you are able to give more and to love better.
So when people push you these wrong assumptions, tell them, “Opo, nakakapagod po talaga kapag binibigay mo lahat para sa bagay na gusto mo. Pero alam ko all of this is worth it.”
“Pagod ako, pero hindi sayang ang pagod ko.”
“Pagod ako, pero masaya ang puso ko.”
