“Because love deserves to be shared…”

Multitasking ang ferzona! 🤣 Coaching my tutee on letter writing while coaching myself on stress management. Bakit hindi? 🤷‍♀️

𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐈 𝐋𝐄𝐅𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐃?

I left not because I stopped loving to teach, but because 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱. I was still dedicated, but not in the system anymore. Somewhere along the way, I lost the fire.

Every report I made, every output I prepared, wasn’t out of passion or creativity anymore. It was simply “𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.” And that’s when I realized…I was no longer teaching from the heart.

𝗛𝗮𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱, 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗹, 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗸𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗱-𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻.

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚. Because I used to be the kind of teacher who’d stay up late preparing lessons, who’d pour love into every activity, who’d light up seeing her students learn.

But I got tired. Not of the children, but of 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The system that made hard work feel useless when you saw 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬.

I even asked myself, “𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐢𝐟 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤?”

That question broke me because it came from a heart that once gave everything.

So I left. 𝙄 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝. ❤️

I used to borrow money — to throw parties, to travel, to buy what I wanted. 🥹

I thought I was creating memories,
but I was really building debts.

I learned the hard way.

Now I see things differently.
I want my kids to enjoy their childhood,
but I don’t want them to suffer when they grow.

The greatest cost?
I had to work abroad to earn double
so we could pay off what we owed.

It’s painful, but I see it as a blessing in disguise.
God’s redirection, not rejection.
He taught me to choose long-term peace
over short-term happiness.

Because in the end,
God will always provide. 🙏✨
