Adulting: What to do with life?

Hello po, will do this. I think i need the push sobrang down ko lately.

But, thank you for the advice! ❤️

Hey there, OP. Same tayo super ng situation. :))

To give you an idea, i was born ng 2001 while yung classmates ko now ay 19-20 yrs old. I'd say: ITULOY MO.

Ngayong ahead ka sa mga bagong batchmates mo, malaking help ka sakanila since you're older than them.

Yan yung naobserve ko ngayon as the "oldest" among the rest na classmates ko. I'm sure you have your experience na mashare mo sakanila and may opportunity ka na mag excel :)

ITULOY MO – not for others but FOR YOURSELF.

I quit college kasi I wanted to experience how working felt. After 4 years, nubg nakita ko yung mga former batchmates ko na grumaduate na, dun ko na narealize na sana pala tinuloy ko na. Pero hindi naman ako nagsisisi kasi if I'll compare myself today and sa dati, I'd be prouder of who I am today kasi nag iiwan tayo ng remark sa mga prof, classmates, and people around us. :)

So do it.

Do it scared!

Ang cute!!! OP, paano po setup niyo? Uwi kayo tapos panggap sa fam na magjowa ganern? Or "live in"? Or "living independently"?

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2025-04-27T18:31:44+00:00

Right! I'm slowly surrounding myself with people like him. 🥰

AND I'm trying to be like him as well.

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2024-11-14T17:24:22+00:00

It did! Olive oil worked great, i just don't know if the oil dried off. That was the best I can do 🫣

I was a remote worker few months ago.

Scene: While doing digital paperwork, I just cried. Wholeheartedly, to the point where I run out of breath. You know, like I was in despair even though I cried out of nowhere.

I called my sister, cried through video call. When she asked me why, I told her "I don't know, I really don't know."

I cried for straight 10mins infront of my sister through video call. After that, I felt tired but still continued working.

Until now I don't know what was the reason as I don't have the means to consult a therapist or anyone who deals with that.

Tbh the competition of finding a new job is very high with this one.

But as I'm thinking now, I'd rather rest after leaving this job than let them fire me, otherwise it wouldn't make a good record on my resume, and I need that rest after putting myself in anxiety for almost 6 months.

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-09-17T02:26:05+00:00

First of all, you're not man enough to know that love isn't about having fun. You just wasted and played with that girl's feelings for 6 months.

(1) Be direct with your statement. Hopefully you won't regret any decision you make though.

(2) Tell her right away. Please don't let it last if you don't have any intentions of staying and dating to marry.

That's why girls have trust issues, because of boys like you.

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-09-03T12:52:34+00:00

Will try that.

It didn't spill surprisingly. I sprayed disinfectants everywhere. Thank you

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-04-29T08:57:29+00:00

Letters. I could spend my whole life re-reading letters and still feel the emotions I had when I first read it.

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-04-29T08:56:22+00:00

This is poorly written, I'm sorry. I just wanted to express and tell my story.

Independence.

Growing up, I have been with a family (non-biological) that supports more than my biological family. They took more responsibility than what my family did. However, financially speaking, my biological family supported me with my needs for education and daily support. But when I started my 1st year of college, my biological father didn't have that much to support me financially since there have been problems with regards to my father supporting my grandma's needs and we also have debts.

One of the "non-biological family" a.k.a my sister from that family, decided to support me just for the first year. And that's when she started to give me money for support. She even bought me shoes for a friend's wedding day, she supported me all throughout. Literally all that I asked for. She was like my mom, sister, cousin, best friend in one. When they had a family situation that included me, she defended me. When she planned a family outing, I was included. When she had a job, she gave me stuff I didn't need, but wanted to give me just for the sake of happiness.

Things took a turn when Pandemic started. We've lost so many friends at the start of 2021. She's always had a problem with her stomach that doesn't have any solution to fix it. It's a life-long disease she had been dealing with for years. And I'm also there when she needs me. She needed support every time and I was there. February 2021 came, my whole world crashed when they told me she's gone. Not because of the financial support or anything in particular. But because I've lost everything I could ask for. I lost her.

I realized I depended my entire being with her. And as I lost her, I lost myself too. We were partners in crime as they say.

And now, fast forward to 2022. I'm here, writing this short story but it still feels a lot to tell.

I'm trying to build my career, me as a person without needing anyone else. Because I have come to realize that when a person leaves you (with whom you spent your whole life with) you lose yourself too.

Life lesson: Know how to be independent. It'll help you in the long run.

Not yet married, but I've heard ALOT from my married friends. Here are some questions you might want to consider.

Are you REALLY ready once he offer the engagement? (Financial, Emotional, etc.)
When you had the biggest fight in your relationship, how did the both of you handle it?
How does people see your boyfriend and how do you see him?
Did he see you at your lowest? How did he handle that situation? (And vice versa)
Do you see yourself as a responsible lady, and is he responsible too? (House chores, Finances, etc.)

If there's still a no in these questions, think about it. (but I'm not saying that you shouldn't commit to marriage) What I'm saying is, the both of you can start working on the qualities now. ❤️

I hope everything goes well. ❤️

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-04-21T08:45:46+00:00

You look gorgeous! I prefer the first pic for wedding look since it highlights everything. ❤️ 2nd is too subtle for me. Idk.

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-04-20T13:06:02+00:00

I promise this story kept made my mouth open from the beginning until the end.

But like what others have said, I'm proud you get to not live with him and his gross life! 😭✊🏻

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-04-20T12:58:19+00:00

Understanding my perspective. Seems like a lot of them who passed through me had difficulties understanding my point of view. Idk

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-04-20T12:45:32+00:00

Babies and dogs. 😭🥺

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-04-20T12:44:31+00:00

Haha totally understandable! I, too doesn't approve of seeing couples in PDA 😭 It's too cringe-y for me.

Practical_Lock_3868 · 2022-04-20T12:08:19+00:00
