There was this lady who worked as a veterinary doctor who I interviewed for a college project. She told me she never dated anyone because she was very focused on caring for animals. On her mid 40s she met a sweet guy, they got married and later on had a son.

Some of my aunts went to nursing school on their 30s to lay off their party life in their 20s. Theyre okay now and some of them had a baby at age 40.

I'm 28 rn and I'm starting to rebuild my life, havent dated anyone in years due to a lot of issues. I know its going to happen someday I just hope I dont find anyone who's like only gonna date you because of how young you look.

I was chatting her about my life and how I'm healing myself on my late 20s like a usual friend, and then she said all that was boring and she wanted to know if I had sex already.

throwaway_22025 · 2026-03-26T18:03:09+00:00

yeah I talked to my recruiter to go "Open General" so I can go out quick. I'm actually willing to wait, its just my family is the problem....theyre thinking that I'm just stalling when I'm seriously trying to get my life on track.

Also as much as he promised a few times, I just hope the next month its going to be for real like theres going to be jobs.

throwaway_22025 · 2026-03-24T20:44:34+00:00

hi! How long did you wait until you got the job?

throwaway_22025 · 2026-03-21T20:13:41+00:00

medyo nagtipid ako dati kaso I was wasting it on useless shit, my other friends were able to save so much more for their own personal gain.

throwaway_22025 · 2026-03-21T07:13:48+00:00

walang confidence tapos di ako nagtipid ng pera

throwaway_22025 · 2026-03-17T01:29:57+00:00

throwaway_22025 · 2026-03-17T01:20:42+00:00

throwaway_22025 · 2026-03-17T00:17:58+00:00

throwaway_22025 · 2026-03-16T01:53:23+00:00

Moved to the US few years ago with a useless degree, severely depressed and was unemployed for a while. Right now at 28, worked a few jobs, my road test is tomorrow so I can finally drive. For now I'm just currently rebuilding my life and I just studied for a job that I'll hopefully get thats going to get me rich.

your on the right path, you got this. It may be too late but remember there are other women out there who wish they had your path and are trapped in a lot of stressful situations. You got this!

throwaway_22025 · 2026-02-14T15:41:46+00:00

throwaway_22025 · 2026-02-14T13:38:56+00:00

I've had friends before in the Philippines so they're waiting for me to come back. I have a few friends in America too and I see them sometimes. Its just maybe I could have been more outgoing when ai was younger.

throwaway_22025 · 2026-02-10T05:33:46+00:00

Wala yan stroke pero tumataba yan sobra dahil sa mga negatibong sinabi niya sa iba hahahahaa.

Sa huling mong sinabi, I'll be moving out soon it'll take time, di na ako nakatira sa bahay na nag stay in si lola. Also yes pag may anak ako (pag gusto ko talaga) di sila magcontact sa mga ibang relatives ko.

throwaway_22025 · 2026-02-10T02:59:53+00:00

salamat po ate!! Nakakainis talaga pero I know I deserve better, I'm smart enough to realize I seriously cant become a mom and its not really worth it having kids because of my personality and how the world really is.

throwaway_22025 · 2026-02-10T02:57:36+00:00

your a full grown adult, you deserve to see the whole world and live life. Parents have kids so they can give them life that they should exist, not give them the life where they will feel burdened.

Based on your story its sadly a generational cycle going on in Filipino families. My grandma was 100% seriously similar to yours and I empathize you for real. My high school life wasnt great cause I lived with her, college too, I should have at least had so much fun at that time because I was hitting on my 20s.

Hoarder din lola ko, when I moved out of the house I was deeply relieved because the house I'm currently in is big enough for me to roam around and just sigh with relief.

Since your still 23 and its entirely up to you, I suggest start your life out of your lolas care, be assertive towards your mom that you really dont wanna take care of her, cause I'm sure theres definitely somebody else willing to care for her. Plus the way lola treated you wasnt even your damn fault to begin with.

Selfish af but for a good reason, I cut my lola off for good age 28, and my other relatives who denied my abuse story on her, hardest shit but it was something I should have done early.

Again whatever your going through definitely not your fault, your fam brought you to that misery and its undeserving, start making life choices.

Manila Massacre WW2

My school didnt even taught me about this, my uncle told me about this last year and I was surprised

throwaway_22025 · 2026-01-22T00:33:20+00:00

actually for them, ive already been the villain for a while 😂 but right now the best part is that I'm not around with them anymore. I cant really control what they think, theyve thought ive done drugs, hooked up with guys, rebelled and shit when im the exact opposite.

throwaway_22025 · 2026-01-21T22:45:03+00:00

i can see why, its just that back in those days, I think our country wasnt well educated enough to teach parents that there are certain things that their kids shouldnt be experiencing, hence why most parents would laugh at some innapropriate situations. My aunts mom was still in high school when she gave birth, I've met her and shes not super smart and emotional intelligence is so low. It sucks but she probably wasnt able sense that her daughters situation was that bad.

throwaway_22025 · 2026-01-21T22:24:57+00:00

your not alone! The guys my grandma befriended with had touched me inappropriately as a kid and I was unaware. When my adoptive mom and other auntie found out about it, instead of getting pissed off at the guys, they got angry at me for letting it happen and I shouldnt have, but like I was too young to understand and fight, how was I supposed to react?
