I LOVE ME.....



Is it wrong to love myself? No, not that narcissistic type of love. I just want to prioritize myself, and my needs after a very long time of sacrificing for the welfare of my family and my loved ones. I just feel that my time on Earth is not that long anymore. I have to enjoy the fruits of my hard labor much more than the usual, meaning, I get to have the biggest share of the pie of whatever I have.

In the past, I've always place myself last. Even with delicious foods. I gave the best part of the meat, the cake, the fruit, and whatever there was. I saved very little from my earnings, because family back home in the needed support. Modesty-aside, I helped my nephews and nieces go to college, and from there, the agreement was for them to help their siblings once they finished, and had stable income. It wasn't always a success story. Most of the time, they ended up getting married because they either got pregnant or had somebody pregnant. Story of my life.

Then, came my . I did my best to give him what I thought would provide him a very stable and successful future. I must admit, he did his part, and for sometime, held up....until the pandemic came wherein he lost the job he loved the most...He was already a Supervisor as a Cabin crew at the Emirates Airlines. He was one of those ,000 who were unfortunately laid off. I provided emotional and now support. He does not want to go back to Nursing. Not everyone is cut to be a nurse., specially during this time..

So, must I, once again put myself aside, and not be the priority? WHen? Oh! When?.....

my dad once told me..."don't give all, leave more for yourself..it is not wrong doing so..because later on it is you who will be left with nothing and those who you helped may not be in the position to do it, when it's your turn to have a need..and there is the saying, when you give, do not expect it to be returned...so have this privilege, of leaving something for your self."

It is true, Jane..If you give something, you should not expect anything in return...For me, just appreciation is enough, and them paying it forward to someone else in need is even much better...

Gosh! it never fails! after a while that my blogpost has been released, there's always a change in the sentence or grammar by FFF. Word omissions and alterations are very common..It is getting very frustrating. I don't have all the time in the world to edit!

Either that, or we get selfish, and possessive...

Indeed, and each day passes, we have more reasons to love ourselves...because no one does as much...

That's why I always remind my mum because she often forgets to love herself.


Once in a while, someone comes along to put you on top of the world.

It takes two to tango. If we're not being understood then why remain attached?
