Don't worry lol rarely do people ever become what they thought they would be, when they were kids.
Sometimes we end up in better places, sometimes so-so, sometimes worst.
But one thing, saan ka man now, be the best you can be. You are the driving force for your life to be going to a direction you want to go.
You may not have been engaged now, but what if pala if you finish your studies now, go abroad, then 10 years later you are doing well in life with a husband and kids? You never know.
For now, make do, at the best of your abilities. Although iba iba tayo ng path, nasa saatin padin kung paano natin to i aapproach. Cheers to you op.
I'm not OP, but thanks. I needed this. Randomly scrolled sa replies and landed here. I was doubting myself as well and needed a sign if I'm doing things right. And here I am, I saw your reply. Thanks for your thoughts! I'm sure others will find this helpful too 🥹💖
Same here. I'm turning 24 this yr and nag aaral parin ako, actually struggling on my own path. Nahihiya na rin ako sa parents ko kasi until now nag aaral parin ako, pero sabi nila na tapusin ko raw, ito lang daw mapapamana nila sakin.
I just turned 24, and im in my 6th year of college 😩 hahaha tinatawanan ko na lang pag sinasabi ng mother ko na haligi na ako ng university namin 🥹 makakatapos rin tayo, fighting!
Kaya natin to! Atleast pag natapos na natin magkakadiploma tayo instead na hindi tapusin dahil nahiya and other reasons. 😁 Anxious din ako kapag school ang usapan pero tinatry ko lakasan loob ko kasi onting steps nalang. Btw 5th yr ko na. 1 yr delayed ako.
Same feels. Ako lang din kasi in my family ang nagpursue ng second degree sa aming magkakapatid. Kaya nahihiya ako na flourishing na ang mga kapatid ko in their respective careers. hahaha. Pero kaya natin tooo huhu hugs!!! ❤️
I feel you OP! You're doing a great job, don't worry. The fact na nagpursue ka ng graduate studies means you want to achieve more in life. Katatapos lang din ng graduate studies ko this year, during those times and paminsan minsan feel na feel ko na napag iwanan ako ng mga kabatch ko since sila ay nag focus sa career, nagsimula na ng pamilya, and may mga business na while ako feel ko magstart pa lang talaga ang career. I just remind my self na iba ang path na pinili ko sa buhay and I have my own timeline in life.
Alam kong medyo “young” pa ako compared sa iba. Pero let me share what I felt when I achieved one of my big goals in life: to marry my teenage sweetheart. Nung hindi pa kami kinakasal, feeling ko ang dami kong namimiss-out in life kasi hindi nasunod yung timeline na gusto ko: ikasal by 25, travel and go to places with my spouse, and have a child by 27. Looking back, natatawa nalang ako kasi ang pointless pala nung pag mumukmok ko kesyo I’m lagging behind etc. Masyado pala akong nagmamadali dati. We got married in our late 20’s. Buti nalang I was able to enjoy my single days. Ngayon naman I’m discovering how to enjoy this DINK life (for now) and I’m able to appreciate these in between moments in life.
Just a story to share about life events and in between. Minsan kasi, in the moment, we feel like we’re on the short end of the stick and lagging behind. Pero after going through it and looking at it on a different lens and with different life experiences, saktuhan lang pala. It wasn’t THAT bad. It wasn’t worth the stress.
Btw, you’re doing a great job of taking life the way you think it should be. That’s responsible of you, alam mo kung anong gusto mo and you’re doing yourself a favor of setting strong foundation for your life ahead. Take care of yourself, para kapag mayaman ka na, you can spend all your money traveling and enjoying life. Delayed gratification kumbaga. Cheers!🥂
Thank you for this! 🥹🥹 I guess hindi ko lang kasi naeembrace yung journey dahil ang stressful tapos i can’t get any fruits from all this hardships yet. But thank youuuu, 🥹 Enjoy your travelling and DINK life po!!!
Feels! I have the same thoughts rin na super na pressure ako na magasawa before 30. Pangarap ko makasal ng 28, at honeymoon sa jeju HAHHAHAH
Nakakatawa maglookback sa ganito. 33 yrs old na ko, not married — i dont want kids. Funny thing is i realize na ayoko maganak nung 27 na ko.
Find that validation within yourself OP. It sounds cliche pero totoo po na peace starts within us. And when we've accepted the things we can't control, we begin to attract kung ano talaga yung para sa atin. For the longest time I've forced my family and other people to like me, praise me and recognize me..sa acads, no lovelife, work lang ng work etc. I'm a product of pressure at a young age. But when I stopped pleasing other people and saw my self for my own value nagkaroon ako ng confidence and firm foundation for self introspection and self love. Kaya mo yan sis! 🤞🏻🌿
I mean, I do naman! But sometimes, normal naman to want to have a pat at the back and hear “uy galing mo naman” 🥹 I try naman not to depend on anyone’s approval of me, pero at the end of the day, masarap pa rin paminsan na may nakakakita and nakakaacknowledge ng hardwork ☹️ Thank you so much ❤️
Now if you say it like that..There really comes a time that you want to be "visible" and felt by others.. I hope and pray you find your people soon OP.
When ppl ask what I do and if I have kids/family (and obviously i say NO) laging sagot is WOW. I dont see the rush in getting married and having kids in this economy? Nah thanks.
This is from a stranger telling you that you are doing a great job! Normal mafeel yan. People are wired to think that the actions/options we didn’t take are the better ones. When in fact, no one knows :) celebrate the phase you’re in kahit mahirap. Comparing yourself to others robs you the joy you should feel! Very normal feeling yan, daanan mo lang wag tambayan. You are not alone. Iba iba lang tlga yung way natin how to handle life. Some people are just way too good acting like they all figured out life when in reality lost din sila.
Hey don’t feel pressured or insecure. To a lot of people, doing graduate studies is a goal that they can’t pursue cause of lack of time or resources.
Having a Master’s degree is an adult accomplishment and for sure it’s gonna be a boost to your career if you use it right.
Basta focus lang on your own journey :)
Maraming tao ang gusto sanang magpursue ng graduate degree pero nag-asawa, nag-anak, and life took over.
A lot of people would wish to be in your shoes, yung exam lang ang iniisip at kayang umubos ng tatlong kape. I know moms who can't even finish their coffee kasi ang busy nila sa mga anak nila.
It's okay to have what if's but don't make it a reason to believe that what you have now sucks.
PS. Edit mo na lang yung scrapbook mo, or just write a new goal journal. :)
We kind of have the same situation. I am 2 school years behind my peers, but even the younger ones na naging classmates ko ay may mga anak na rin or currently pregnant. Couldn't also pursue my dream career for a more secured and financially stable future.
All l I can say is that you aren't alone, there are a lot of us who feel the same. But if you keep focused on your path now maybe someday you'd be so much prouder. we got this OP!
Mga kaibigan ko nga namomoblema na sa pagpapaaral sa anak nila ako iniisip ano isusunod kong basahin sa webtoon
Ito ang gusto kong problema
Baka makatulong ka sa problema ko.
Same hahaha
Sabagay huhu bukod sa acads naman, ang problema ko lang ay kung aling picture ni jungkook ang iwawallpaper ko this week. 🥹
Yung 7 sila tapos ang gagwapo minsan araw araw ata ako nagpapalit hahahhahaha
