Struggles of being a Millenial

Looking for MY purpose

Career Crossroads?

I wonder if every Millenials here have this crossroads in life? Yung ang dami mong tanong sa sarili mo, for example:

1. Is this the career for me? 2. Am i happy here or pinagtiyatiyagaan ko lang because of a good pay? you know travel goals kasi tayo mamshies or luho goals! 3. Worth it ba tong career at stable na ba to hanggang sa magretire ako? Pero matagal pa yun. Si future self ko na bahala dun 4. Gusto ng parents ko dito sa indutry na ito pero iba ang sinisigaw ng puso ko. 5. Ayoko na kaso andito pa si crush charot! Landi goals muna! 6. Money > Career besh! dami kong binubuhay mga 10

There are a lot of questions. Kung pwede lang bumalik nung Highschool noh? Aral at pasulyap sulyap lang kay crush, LANDI PA MORE HAHA. Anyway, I, myself have these thoughts (btw, i’m a millenial as well). I have these pressure from my fam about the industry that they want for me. At first i tried it but in the end that’s a NOPE for me.

Ma-pride ang lola mo e so i decided to QUIT. There’s this idle months and years that made me feel lost, incompetent and walang kwenta. I even shut down my fam & friends because i don’t know what to do in my life. (YES SUPER DEPRESSED SINCE SOME OF MY CLASSMATES FROM COLLEGE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THE FIRST RUN AGAD AND IWAS LIKE WAAAATTHEEEEEHELL PALAM AND DI MASAYA HUHUBELS)

To make this post like an uplifitng one to my kapwa millenials there and everywhere..DI KAYO NAGIISA. There will be a time na may doubt kayo about sa career niyo. You will feel incompetent kasi yung friend mo successful na ikaw wala paring ganap sa work or siya may house and car na, ikaw cellphone lang kaya mong bilhin etc. but always remember, LIFE IS NOT GAME. walang time limit sa pagiging successful. Yung iba nga diba matanda na saka pa naging successful, parang pagibig. Wag magmadali, enjoy the run. treat it as a stepping stone for a better you! 

If you feel pressured, UNWIND. TRAVEL MAMSH OR EAT IT OUT. ROOFTOP BARS NOT WALWAL PARTIES LIKE NUNG COLLEGE (ganun na siguro pag tumatanda HAHA.) Talk to them  and always choose what makes you HAPPY at the end, ikaw magbebenefit hindi sila, its YOUR LIFE! kung may sabihin sila go lang mamsh di na uso magpakamartyr di gaya nung Highschool, have some backbone and laveeern! make them proud, make them believe na worth it ang change ng career okay?

Based lang to sa naexperience ko and sa mga friends kong dumaan na sa ganito. sino sino pa ba magtutulungan diba? Osiyaaa hanggang dito na muna, next time ulit kung may pinaglalaban ako a! mwah

Have you ever been mad because you are insensitive to people's feelings and you can't just understand them because you have no idea what the hell did you just do that they just cry in front of you?

Does anybody feel confused in an argument with your someone, where in, you don’t have any point at all and you just love the pain that you feel.

love today is like a plastic rose.

Minimalist journey: week one

It’s been a week since i decided to become a minimalist in life. At first, it was hard why it became so hard? 

1. I cannot let go the issues that i have in life now that i have a big daddy issue problem 

2. It is very difficult to handle monetary issues. 

3. There are lots of “wants” than “needs”

4.  Never contented about anything in my life. 

5. I want everything in a “fast phased”

At this point  being a minimalist is a good thing. For me, i realized what are the most important things in my life. It’s called being wise in life. Accepting what you have and treasure the moments with the people you love. cheers for the next realizations and to my next journey

I want to live in a simple life..

i am sick living in expectations

I don’t want to be materialistic

Buying things that i do not need/use

sleeping peacefully at night without 2 am thoughts

being a wise person when it comes to money

paying out debts 

Pay the mortgage of the houses

I want to focus my life to the important things..

my my mom, friends, him and God.

my career

living the moment and not worrying about the future

Slowly but surely method

Change

I’ve been feeling down lately because on the recent events in my life. I have no job for how many months now (i resigned my former job as a ground attendant)  and thinking that “what am i doing?” or “what do i want in my life?”. I am pressuring myself to get a job because i don’t want to disappoint my family/relatives. They always look out for me or help me so in return i want to return the favor.Did i mention that they have high expectations from me? anyway, during my college days by getting a++ grades or engaging to activities that many youth can’t do like being a youth ambassadress or being a leader but now that i graduated from college, no job and them, pressuring me to work, i feel so disappointed for myself and i know too that they are disappointed and i think they are ignoring me. 

Yesterday i was crying, i can’t express myself to my mom or even my boyfriend or friends. I feel so alone. I know what depression feels and it really affects the mindset of a person. I just want to end things, to end the burden but my boyfriend knew that something is up and he keeps on asking if “am i okay?” and i opened up a little bit about what was happening. it felt better actually but still too depressed. then he said that “you have a high standard to yourself that’s why when you have a mistake or failure, you feel like its the end of the world. Try to live without setting a standard and not asking what they want for your life. Ask yourself what do you want in life.”

After that conversation, I keep repeating those moments, all my life, i didn’t do anything for myself but for them, to make them proud. Now that i still have nothing, they keep on pressuring me or they ignore me. So now, on this very day i promise myself to make myself happy, enjoy my life and regardless on what they want for me, my priority is what i want in my life.
