Ever wonder what life your life would be? Ever dreamed of doing something great? Or you just wanted a care-free life.
I grew up in a poor family. Everyday is a struggle. My parents needed to work the whole day for a very small amount of pay. My father is a minimum wage earner while my mother works doing almost everything (she is a supermom!) doing laundries, cleaning gardens, cleaning houses and most of all cooks for them.
We are eight siblings in the family (1 died at the young age due to illness, I miss her...). When we were growing up we experienced the life of poverty where we eat less than 3 meals a day or sometimes none...
It was very hard living in this kind of life. My parents most of the time fights. Shouting here and there, throwing stuffs and even creating noise in the middle of the night where the whole neighborhood will hear. Then when they are away we siblings also fight (I mean physically fights until someone starts to bleed). Fighting because the other doesn't want to do household chores, the other wanted to sleep, one wanted to play more and doesn't even care (well I did became one of those).
Life isn't easy to live at all. Even now that I'm old enough I still kept on struggling to live this life (and yes there are still fights happening). Trying to meet one end after another. Sometimes I wish I could.......but I really can't get there yet. I don't want to work, just relax, eat, sleep and just enjoy.
What I wanted to share is that we needed a quarter of our life to do something bold and drastic. If we wanted to something in our life we need to decide now. It maybe to have a time off, maybe to enjoy life with your partner, maybe starting a new career or anything you decided to do. Our life is not meant to be on a constant routine. When I broke on this boundary I just needed to get-up, move and take one step forward and everything started to change. Now I wanted to take another bold step ahead.
Every part of our life becomes meaningful when we started to look back to each point in time and treasuring those moments that keeps making us whole.
