I think my efforts to keep in touch with my nieces and nephews back fired.

Me and my siblings are not close to each other due to family issues. Na-meet ko yung mga pamangkin ko pag need iiwan sa nanay ko yung mga bata from time to time. Unfortunately, since our mom passed away na, nawalan na kami ng connections. Cut to a few years, my sibs started passing away na rin, so I got to meet my now adult pamangkins.

Napansin ko lang, madalas ang good morning at hingi ng pera. At the beginning ok lang kasi the reason seems valid at meron naman akong pera. Lately, pambili ng food at diaper ng anak, wala pa daw sweldo or kinulang, babayaran na lang later. Yung hingi, me kasama pang pic ng anak nilang may empty milk bottle. Ang pasok ng messages minsan past mid night or early morning, medio abala sa tulog

I decided to mute the notifications na and ignore.

Anyone here care to share similar stories?

When I was in my twenties, I spoke to my manager what I need to do para ma-promote. Grabe yung competition, na-promote naman pero ganun pala yung stress to meet the kpis.

When I was in my thirties, gigil na gigil akong bayaran lahat ng utang ko. Laking ginhawa after matapos kasi director savings yung sobrang pera. Nung lumaki yung savings, lumakas loob ko mag travel abroad. Iba yung feeling na hindi ka worried sa CC bills kasi may pambayad naman.

In my forties, parang naging complacent ako. Ok na ako maging chill. Umuwi maaga at matulog ng mahaba. Weekends at home.

Kayo ba, what goals do you have left?
