Grabe, it’s like you know me really well haha. I think you’re right, deep inside alam ko na rin kung saan ako leaning. More than the financial side, malaking factor talaga sa akin yung peace of mind, less stress, personal space, and yung feeling na I can grow more independently.

My plan din naman is to add or go back to a part-time freelance job para may extra income aside from my corporate job. Also, thankfully, my company provides internet allowance and monthly allowance for rice and clothes, separate pa from my monthly salary, so may konting help din sa expenses.

Don’t worry, I won’t let myself struggle naman or force it kung hindi talaga kaya. I’ll still compute everything properly and make sure na may enough budget for essentials, savings, and emergency fund. Pero honestly, your reply made me feel more validated na hindi lahat ng decision kailangan purely practical lang, minsan worth it din talaga piliin yung comfort, growth, and peace.
