Working with what you have

We have what we have now. It sucks at some point, but there's not much you can do at the moment.

Because really, what's real is now.

Dad has to work to feed his family, mum and me; now that I am back in the house, still looking for a job. Mum has to deal with looking after an ageing husband (whom still denying the process), and a daughter who's yet to find a job. Myself, I have to work with finding a job with a degree that I can't seem to use.

It's amazing how much we have to become in this life, in the society. What measures you as you? Coming from self, of course each of us has our own idea of success, of happiness. Medals, awards, academic titles, cellulite free body,... all of those is just never me. I am getting tired of never going to be good enough.

I always thought about it. If having a child is so much of uncertainty, why having them? If economy is bad 10 years, 20 years or 30 years ahead, won't you be in a trouble for having a family? Children didn't ask to be born. But they're brought to life anyway, and have to deal with it. In the end, we got used to the idea of working with life.
