One day you will realize that no one will really fully understand your pain. No one can fathom how deep your wound is. And that is just how it is.

In the end you will realize you are all alone. All this time. You have no one but yourself.

Talked to my former student today. Heā€™s the third one who cried to me. Lately, living is just too hard, isnā€™t it?

Itā€™s really sad to break it to them that the world we live in is cruel and we couldnā€™t do anything about it. We cannot go against the system, we would just drown doing so. This is the nature of Life and there are things that are beyond our control.

And for people, itā€™s sadder to realize that not all people can love the way we love, and understand deeply the way we do. And there are just those whose actions areā€¦ incomprehensible to our mind and heart who only know how to give and how to love.

It is how it is. And we have no choice but to overcome our pains and grow with them. And the faster we learn how to accept things, the easier our way out from our storms.

Nevertheless, Iā€™m so proud of these grownup children who learned how to love themselves. Before we end each of our call I would often hear, ā€œBut Miss, I gotta choose myself.ā€ ā€œThis will make me a better person.ā€

And days like this I give myself a pat on the back also because I am reminded that I did a good job back then. Teaching them to support themselves, teaching them how to love themselves. Those literature classes and stories about life and people were all worth it. They were all worth it.

Iā€™m not the type of person who has regrets in life because everything that happens I take it as a lesson.

But this year, I have one. And that is- not making time for moments thinking I still have a lot of time.

I was wrong.

Summer this year there were a few times my brother nudged Dada and I to close the store to watch sunset at the shore. During those times the twilight sky bursted with colors and he wanted us to be there also. But the old person in us kept on thinking about bills and provision that we would always say maybe next time. Thinking we still had a lot of time.

But Life happened and we grew up. Now heā€™s living on his own, building his new life, finding his own path. Been crying so hard the past few days that I got sick and my thoughts lingered to those turned down invitations and sunsets we never watched together. I realized no amount of profit could compensate to that moment lost.

This is my regret this year and my big lesson I learned the hard way. Make time for your love ones. Take that absent from work. Have intimate meals with your daughters and sons. Go on a date with your siblings. Catch up with old friends. And watch that sunset together at the shore no matter how busy it gets, no matter how high the bills are paid.

Just take that moment for who knows what tomorrow would bring.

And youā€™ll be surprised to discover itā€™s always the one close to you who will undermine you. And yet this is life. After the pain, find its lessons embedded in it. You will find gems.

thoughts latelyā€¦

Childhood affects greatly your adulthood. Being an OFW parent is never easy. In fact it gets lonelier. As we get older we should leave and cleave and as we do that there is this melancholy that never really goes away.

Someone tried to mock me earlier today through laughter and I am currently transitioning to my, "I'm a good person but I am not nice" kind of thing so I summoned my retired bitch self and deliver a one liner that made them all fell silent and I turned my back like nothing happened and continued whatever I was doing with a peaceful heart.

I love the satisfaction I got from reminding them that I am not dumb just like what they think I am. I am smart with an empathetic heart. People do misjudge kindness for dumbness and think they can have their rude way forever.

Boundaries bi***es. Boundaries.

p.s. Stepping up for your own self is also self love and self care.

Mj dropped by. Itā€™s been two months since she left us and yet her giving hands once again gave us gifts. She looked happier and she feels lighter. And Iā€™m really happy for her.

Sometimes in life we meet people. Iipahuwam sila nato kadali, and yet they would give us lasting feelings, impressions, and if you are lucky, relationships.

Iā€™m blessed to have been able to feel these emotions I have right now. And to learn these profound lessons as well. Life never gets easier, but Life too never cease to give me wonder.

love,
