Just this recently, my family visited some close relatives whom we have not seen for a while. Nakakagulat kasi ang daming changes. Talk about some family issues that they have had and also the family events that I personally missed because of my unjustified and over-“dedication” to work.
I actually missed a renewal of vows, a wedding and a debut. I am somehow ashamed to visit their place kasi nga right now, I feel like my reasons are not reasonable enough. It was just lately that I realized that I should not sacrifice relationships for work because madali kang papalitan sa work if you’re not really working as expected but relationships when severed, can be really heartbreaking. Not that I have experienced anything like that. I am glad that I did not reach that point to have my realization.
Anyway, we reminisced about the old days. Our silliness as children, our senseless arguments and funny memories. Iba pa rin pala talaga pag nakakausap yung mga taong nakasama mo way before ka pa magmature. Then, the conversation got a little bit awkward and funny at the same time when the elders asked the question, “Kailan ka ba ikakasal?”. I just laughed at the question kasi I never thought that I’d have this experience na dati napapanood ko lang sa tv, nababasa sa mga stories at naikuwento ng mga ate at kuya. Nakakapanibago kasi dati, the elders would discourage us to be in a relationship pero ngayon, they’re rushing us into getting married. It suddenly hit me that I am no longer getting younger BUT I should not be pressured about such question. Everyone has his or her timetable. Darating din tayo diyan when the time is right and when our love and commitment is strong enough to move us to the next level. ❤
