Being in a Relationship vs Being a Breadwinner

In my life, there things that sometimes I like to rush. Like love life (haha) I have been asked by a lot of my aunties if I already have a girlfriend. I normally reason out that my mother is very strict (Sorry Ma for the bad publicity. haha).

Honestly, I find it a challenge to have a girlfriend. I tried to do it and it does not work for me. I had been told by a friend that having a girlfriend can be somewhat inspiring and enjoyable.

I agree with what my friend told me. But I believe that there are times that I simply have to sacrifice for now because for most Filipino Family the elder child needs to sponsor a brother or a sister to graduate through college. As of now, I can't afford to divide my attention.

Anyways, my sister would be graduating in a matter of two years. I believe there are just times that we need to sacrifice for one another.

My mother was the eldest among eight siblings and she had to sacrifice a lot, putting on hold the thought of having a boyfriend until she was able to help two of her sisters to graduate from a prestigious university.

There is a saying that says 'There is a time for everything under the sun'. For now, I am happy to be single. Yes! There are times that I think of having a girlfriend to share my time with. But what I may lack is compensated by a loving family, happy friends and a supportive community.

Presently, I am swimming in the abundance of love. A love that is more than enough for me.  


Your booked for greatness,
