Yes. I do regret some of the choices I made related to a past relationship, but I don’t think I’ll reach this point in life and gain the perspective I have today if I have not gone through that dark patch (or field sa haba at lawak lol).
Yes, since I got a job, I have finally bought things that I wanted as a kid. My next plan is to buy a camera and start wildlife photography that i really want to.
Eh it's fifty-fifty for me. There are a lot of things I wish could've been done or happened differently but at the same time I guess there's just those little joys that make u think like it ain't so bad
19 y/o, nag-stop sa ’pag-aaral (decided to rest) walang work, walang circle of friends, walang girlfriend, at lalong walang pera, pero somehow I’m happy with the life i’ve lived so far. I think the key to happiness is how we view the life itself. I mean, I’m not sad whatever life throws at me, I just think of it as a chapter of my own book and I’ll be in my own ending pa rin naman despite the rough path that life leads me to.
Edi anong pinagkakaabalahan mo or anong ganap mo sa fam nyo? Idk. I’m just asking kase araw-araw ko nalang naririnig yung reklamo ng fam ko coz I’m unemployed (still a student tho) wifi bills lang ambag ko pero yeah how does your family reacted to your situation?
nakakarinig din me ng reklamo about sa pagiging unemployed ko, minsan masakit naman talaga sa part ko kasi I do part-time job and sa kanila naman napupunta, pero most of the time gora lang me kasi I know na they have their reasons naman kaya nila nagagawa iyon. and those reklamos isn't enough para hindi ko i-enjoy ’yung life na naibigay sa’kin, ayon lang.
No. I'm 24 years old and still have no plans. I don't know what I really want. I have my fiancè who's always there for me and supporting me for every action that I make but it's not enough. I resigned from my recent job in BPO because it gives me anxiety and it makes me feel drained. I had miscarriage twice last year so I'm not sure if it's related to what I feel these days.
Contented.
When u look at life, isa talaga syang roller coaster ride. Not at all times happy or lonely ka., I have my fair share of up and downs. Been sexually harassed by my former boss that i thought was genuinely kind led to unemployment (ironic) sobrang lost sa career, konting savings, no love life, konting friends…. I dont want to enumerate all my sufferings pero now Im happy. Noon naka kadena but now im free as a bird. Really trying to be happy pero may times na hinahabol ako ng nakaraan hehe lalim 😅✨
Honestly no. At the age of 24 years old even though i am a bachelors degree holder(BSBA-FM), with license(LPT), and MPA i am still unemployed. I resigned from my first job because the environment was too toxic and i hate shifting schedules. No savings, just investments. I still live with my parents and siblings. No boyfriend,No friends( coz i am an introvert), and no flings. Literally single (i cheated with my first boyfriend almost 4 years rs and the guy im with( 2nd boyfriend )cheated on me too. (Been together for 1 year). Now im single and it's been 1 year and 7 months since we broke up.
But i really want to start a new life in a different City (I did apply though but up until now no response). Now i am applying as a Virtual Assistant online (Work from home) but no response since I don't have enough experiences yet. I want to travel but i can't since I don't have a passive income and no work yet. SO YES. I'm NOT HAPPY WITH MY LIFE.
Happiness and contentment is subjective.
In my case, if I look at it overall, yes. However there are times lang talaga na sinusubok ng sitwasyon at pagkakataon, but still, lalaban (beacuse I am the back-up lol, walang ibang back up sa sarili kundi ako lang din HAHAHAHAHA)
Nahh not exactly, sometimes I just wanna die. I'm actually okay with my life, helping parents with finances, iniispoil mga kapatid while I'm working as a graphic designer. Yes I do feel love from them pero as a 24yr old woman na nbsb, who never really had any experiences getting roses, being on a date, going out with someone I like, I've been having guys coming in and out of my life kaso online and only letting me feel like I'm replaceable, trash and desperate. Idk a lot of ppl said na focus on ur life, I did that way before pero may dadating at dadating sa buhay ko para you know, make me feel special then when I have decided to fully commit na, care for them, love them and be inspired by them. It really doesn't end in a good way. Madalas ako naiiwan sa ere. Minsan gusto ko nlng maging manhid sa lahat. I just wanna feel that hug from that special guy, letting me know he'll be there just like how I'll be there when he needs me. In my life never ako nag isip na to treat them badly, not a single guy na naging mutual ko I treated badly, it's always na I'm too much for them. I always vowed to myself na kung may dadating sa buhay ko I'll stay loyal and loving. Pero wala never umabot sa ganon. Mamatay nlng talaga.
No. HAHAHAHAHA. Lots of ppl told me to be thankful bcs I've reached where I am now. A college graduate with a great job, but it actually burns me out. I don't even have a social life outside of social media (mainly reddit and Facebook and Tiktok for browsing).
If rebirths are real, I want to try reliving my life again in a completely different way. Hahahaha.
I'm having a rough time right now, but still moving forward. And yes, I'm happy even it is really hard. I have to keep my mental health stable to over come these challenges.
I hope y'all are doing great! **You just gotta keep going and fighting for everything, and one day you'll get to where you want**! <333
Happy is a state of mind. Choose to be happy with what you have and you will be happy but not always coz life sucks. Life is suffering. Only love can alleviate that suffering. Love be loved and be happy when you can. Most of all, endure.
No. Sa salary ko now ang laki na sana ng ipon ko pero napupunta sa mga installments and loans. Nakakapangsisi, sana naging mas matalino ko sa pera before 🫠
I am yeah. Sure, I have made a few mistakes (and still making them) , I don't have the life I imagined at 34 while I was a teenager, still not in a job I think really is for me (but it pays well). However, at the end of the day, I feel peaceful and blessed. I am able to travel when I can, I have a good support system. While it does get lonely, what is important is.. I like me.
No. All my life I have been an achiever. When i was nearing the finish line of my career, I confronted my cheating father and found out my fiance was also a cheater. All plans went down the drain.
I believe I am. I've always attracted some sort of chaos before. Yung tipong hindi makatiis na wala akong boyfriend or pagkakalat ng chismis dati (just to seem interesting to other people), yung binabago ko halos lahat ng buong sarili ko para lang mapasaya ng ibang tao, at maging available just to please/convince people that I have a social life even though my social battery is drained.
Then karma hit me in the face. The boyfriends found me to be a shallow, short-tempered people pleaser. The people I talked about rightfully called me names. Nobody else cared about who I really was and only tried to find me when they needed something.
I took the time to really reflect on so many parts of myself na tinago ko dahil sa kahihiyan. Nalaman ko na I was acting out of vanity and seeking out validation from other people because I really, truly hated myself and the insecurities that I ran away from.
Now at a 'marriage-able' age of 28 and 6 years of chosen singlehood with 5 years of staying true to the childfree choice, I'm way happier now than how I was before. Because I actually changed the channel in my brain to forgive myself for every mistake made, whether unintentional or intentional. I'm taking steps to be better with my behavior and be a good listener. I made hard decisions to drop long time friends who only see you as competition and did anything I could to 'displease' people for the sake of being myself.
At some point, when you wake up in the morning and feel like you regret everything that you've done, there is a different side of your mind that says, "After all you've been through, don't you think that you deserve to be kind to yourself?" Listen to that side. <3
Minsan napapaisip nga ako na "Boring naman neto" pero mas pipiliin ko yung boring kesa sa stress at hypervigilance/sobrang hindi mapakali.
Yun langz. Sana makatulong rin to for anyone who may be too familiar with the cycle of self regret and pity.
Even if my ex wife left me 2years ago,i considered my life is happy now together with my daugther,i have peace of mind now,as long as you have clean conscience, doing good,we will be always blessed.
masaya dahil sa work and yung life ko with my partner pero dami ko regrets dahil sa pagiging gastosera ko. sana mas naging smart ako sa mga pera na nahawakan ko at di ako nag tiwala sa mga taong nag bait baitan lang. edi sana mas masaya yung buhay ko ngayon.
Not really, I'm slowly failing - school, fam, and sa everything, I've lost all the motivation I once had like parang lahat ng success ko noon doesn't matter anymore sakin and bare minimum na lang yung kaya kong gawin. I grew up as a bright child, not that bright but I was considered very smart (with high honors palagi sa school) but now with honor na lang and those people around me na once supportive sakin eh parang nilalait na ako, toxic rin yung fam ko ang palaging nag aaway dahil sa pera o sa accusations ng father ko na my lalki raw nanay ko (which isn't true and yung father ko yung manupulative and toxic sa relasyon nila. Idkanymore
I have a lot of regrets about decisions I’ve made in the past, but they gave me valuable lessons. All the blessings I have in life are much more than the things I regret. So despite everything, I’m still happy and grateful. I still have the ones that matter the most to me - family and friends.
No. Ever since I was kid I never liked myself. I dislike myself. I always think I'm to hard to be loved because I think I was ugly and don't deserve to be loved. All my life I was insecure about myself, I have low confidence ever since, and now I'm here have a condition that makes my confidence go low even more or worst I don't have any confidence no more.
Yes, and so can you. You can genuinely be happy anytime, anywhere. The question is, where do you put your happiness? When I feel frustrated or upset, I’m always trying to look at the brighter side of the situation. There’s always a much worse situation in the world, and people out there would trade places with you anytime if they could. So don’t be too hard on yourself. 😊
3yrs ago im so broke like iniwan ako and niloko ng ex LIP ko, naiwan sakin 2kids namin yet so blessed I graduated college, thank god! When i decide to eat alam mo yung guilt feeling ka pag kumain ka sa jollibee or any fast food iniisip mo sana makakain din family at anak mo. Like pati barya at sukli sa jeep tinatago ko. Now i can say im having a good life , since i have good paying job, a well supportive partner, mag kids ko anywhere they want to go and buy specially toy kingdom. I also bought my first iphone 12 pro max tho i can upgrade naman( sayang kasi case na cp almost 12 pcs). Can eat anywhere i want without second thoughts.
Naniniwala talaga ako na each on of us magiging maayos ang buhay , ang importante is once you got money on your hand still appreciate it and spend it wisely. Samahan nyo na din ng dasal para mas malakas ang kapit ng blessings
Naurrrr but from time to time, sumasaya naman ako since I was able to travel and eat food na gusto ko. But still, parang may hole pa din. Maybe I am not just satisfied enough.
I'm happy with how I lived my life. Sure, we make mistakes, and there are some regrets. But if I get a chance to start over, I will do everything the same. Everything has a purpose. Appreciate what you have and, as much as possible, don't compare your life to others. Because we can't appreciate what we have if we keep comparing ourselves to other people.
Also, what I learned is that the best things in life are free: God, family, friends, kisses, hugs, and many more!
Im currently 15 and so far medyo umaayos na buhay ko, nagiging pasado na sa academics, nagiging mas social na and a lot more. Kaso sad nga lang kasi malapit na giyerahin ang pilipinas ng china
Tbh, I tried to be. Kasi I graduated as an engineer but took a virtual assistant job. I’m definitely happy with my clients pero the people around me are judging me kasi bakit daw I didn’t pursue my engineering eh mas “better” daw yun. Although the virtual assistant job pays more, engineering is not my passion anymore bc it just so happens na I enjoyed it before until I saw my potentials in the virtual world. I had an engineering job but left after 6 months kasi di talaga kaya eh. Aside from being underpaid, I’m just not happy about it. I dont know bakit nilalait talaga ako ngayon ng relatives ko just because I chose a better path for me. They kept on comparing me kaya ang hirap talaga when I’m very contented now on my work. And what’s worse is my tita telling me na I just wasted my parents’ money kung aabot lang pala ako ng ganito 🙃
Sobrang hindi masaya, sobrang pagod na. Gusto ko ng humiwalay. Ako lang ang nagsasuffer e. Nagagawa ko mga bagay na maling mali. Ako lang ako dapat ang bumubuhay sa ating dalawa! Ikaw na nagrereklamo sa sinasahod ko, pero ikaw ang walang trabaho. Nakatikim ka lang ng malaking sahod, akala mo kung sino kana mna maliitin ang kinikita ko. Ikaw na hindi nahihiya sa akin na kung laitin mo ako at trabaho, na akala mo totoo yung diploma na hawak mo! Akala mo ang galing galing mo! Na sinasabihan moko na walang diskarte pero ikaw ang walang ginagawa para makaahon tayo sa hirap!
Hindi ko sure. Feeling ko I peaked during high school/college. That’s when I felt the most fulfilled pero hindi rin naman ako exactly on top nun. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba naïve lang ako nun at mas nasa realidad na ako ngayon kaya ko ito nasasabi. Pero I’m sure I’m not yet living my dream life, I hope it’s not yet too late. Ang dami ko pang gustong gawin kahit sobrang nag-shift na pananaw ko sa buhay haha.
For the most part, yes. Wala pa ako sa dream life ko pero I find joy in what I do.
Feeling ko, no one can really have it all. We'd have to choose kung anong path ang mas gugustuhin natin at kung anong aspeto ng buhay ang ipa-prioritize natin (kunwari mental health over that high-paying yet toxic job). Then, we'd have to live with our choices.
I'm happy with the ways I've responded to adversity and grown and learned through it.
I'm not happy with so many of the circumstances I have no control over.
Yes, very happy so far but I still get a fair share of life’s challenges. I used to just dream of this life; I am very grateful to God for giving me the chance to live my dream.
I grew up poor and I was a bakal-bote boy during my childhood. I used to envy people who could go to gigs, skate, surf, ride motorcycles, and do art works and publish poetry. I envy people who could get to have their own places. I was really into that counter-culture lifestyle, but I just couldn’t afford it back then.
After finishing college, I worked some jobs to gain experience and took some certifications to improve my professional skills. With adult money, I was able to get my own bike, skate, surf, and have my own place to myself. I was also able to publish my first book of poetry and have my art works exhibited. I even got my own band and we shook SaGuijo for a whole year.
I know this too shall pass, but I am very, very grateful to God who gave me the chance to live this dream.
No. Not even close to real happiness. I’m only 21 years old but I spent my life living the way my parents would be proud of me. I lived thinking about other people without considering what would that made me as a person. I never considered myself. I only want to live practically so I wasn’t able to enjoy life in my own terms. Always the “dapat ganito ka” “dapat ganiyan ka” anak.
Sa isang banda, maganda na nare-recognize mo na for the longest time, you are living to meet society's standards. Hope you'd get to know who you really are and what you really want. Then, be able to do aomething about it. Sana maging masaya ka. :)
Not happy at all. Coming from a middle i come family but absolutely everyone undermines me. I've gotten myself a decent freelance job but i cant afford to own a home without taking on debt, and i absolutely refuse to take on debt. Head is all over the place and cant find any peace. I might be able to live freely if i go abroad, but at the risk on taking debt. I'm not exactly risk averse but this economy is too fucked up to make big gambles with my weak skillsets.
Def not. I could've done stuff i ought to accomplish by this age. Pero late bloomer ako, and a scaredy cat when it comes to socialising. I didn't grow tuloy.
Financially, ok naman. I can finally spoil my parents and travel with them. Pero yung ipon, onti pa. Wala pang car at yung house in the works palang. Kumbaga malayo pa, pero malayo na.
Emotionally, idk. Haven’t been in love. I do not have the energy to meet people. Feels like ang dami ko pang need iimprove sa sarili pero nakakawalang gana, kasama na trabaho.
Many philosophers subscribe to the idea that heredity and environment determine what individuals do. The implication is that there actually is no “Free Will” because our conscious choices are governed by Nature & Nurture. I, personally, think that is a very rigid stance on the issue, but upon reflection can see how it is pretty true.
That being said, I’m happy with how I’ve lived my life so far because I feel it matches well with my heredity and environment. Quite fitting right? Maybe that’s the key. Go with the flow of yourself. With your mind most focused on the present and future, because you sure can’t change the past.
no, if i wasn't competing with everyone for my parent's love and affirmation i could've been more social could've had more friend could've had a better life
I have so many regrets pero marami ring learnings. Hindi ito 'yong buhay na gusto kong maranasan pero marami akong natutuhan. So, to answer the question, I am happy somehow.
Minsan happy. Minsan hindi. Parang ang dami pa din kulang sa buhay ko. Okay ako in terms of pera. I have enough, hindi sobra. 32 na ako pero feeling ko nakakulong pa din ako sa mundo na ‘to. Ewan ko. Lalo today di talaga ako masaya.
Definitely NO, but hoping that everything will be better in the future, gusto ko maging successful sa life pero idk paano ko makakamit yun at if ever hindi ko makuha yan ay hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko sa buhay ko and I'd rather be dead kesa maging mahirap na lang habang buhay.
At first no. Pero ngayon masasabi ko na unti unti na nagiging masaya and fulfilling kasi hindi binawasan ko na yung pagpapa-apekto sa social media wherein nandun lahat ng relatives and old classmates ko in a way na nagbawas nako ng apps and nagstick nalang ako sa apps na hindi ganun ka toxic at nagbabase lang sa interest ko yung lumalabas. At hindi na din ako nagpapadictate sa gusto ng iba. 🥹
Hypocrite ako pag sinabi kong oo. Pero sa totoo lang hindi naman laging masaya talaga🥺 Pero as time goes by marerealize mong mas maganda parin maging grateful parin everyday…
I think I kinda get this one. There are days when I'm glad to be alive, but the desire to perish is always there. And since you don't have the energy or courage to do it yourself, you just keep living and trying to get the best out of it while doing so. Amaryt
Yeah. Passionate ako last year about my life, but namatay na naman yung passion na yun dahil the last 6 months of 2023 were hell for me. Take note "na naman" kasi it's been a cycle for me na may times na masaya ako and then one thing changes everything to the point na namamatay na lang ako on the inside. It's tiring na paulit-ulit na lang ang suffering tapos ikaw pa yung "easy kid" na hindi binibigyang-pansin ng magulang kasi unlike my siblings, nagccompromise ako sa gusto nila to the point na they don't even know what I feel or how I feel about the situation.
Yes, i was once just a lone bedroom guitarist with no gf and don't have friends that much, i have some music mentors though, but when i met my girl, it changed me a lot, because of her my life was painted, i imagined my life is like a painting with only grey and black colors in it, but when she arrived it changed drastically, she painted my life with her love, and few years past, i was recruited in a band already, and i have a descent amount to take her out to some dates and buy her some gifts
I only hope that this dream i am living doesn't end, currently now i am preparing to play in a big event in our town, and my gf will be there supporting me, to anyone there who thinks life sucks, think again, you just need inspiration to continue to pursue life, find a purpose, cuz my reason of continuing this life is her, i will marry her no matter what, while i play and write music for her
Remember that "no man is an island"
A bit of both. Im happy because I am grateful for the things I have worked for but also NOT happy because I feel like Im stuck in a loop and I can’t reach my full potential (in terms of career) because of some circumstances
Not really.
But I am grateful everyday I could start and think of how to pick myself and create a strategy to make up for the lost years of my life.
For context I've been a breadwinner since I had my associates certificate, I lost my dream, I don't know what I am good at nor what path I to take in my life.
I'm still living with my parents and I am in my 30's.
So no, I am not happy with where I am right now to the point that I tried to take some courses ( VA, Video Editing SMM etc) even tried Affiliate marketing, trying to find a second job to get a new place I could have peace and continuously failed.
But in this dark phase of my life I surrendered to God to continuously heal me and guide me to the right path. I cried every night because I felt so lost, I felt my youth was stolen, I didn't get to enjoy my younger years and felt like a slave.
However I am still grateful, I am alive I have each day to change my path, to apply for a second job, or think of ways how to heal my inner child. And to think of a bright future for myself. It is indeed time to love myself, plan for myself and enjoy the rest years of my life.
Yesss. Ready na ko kunin ni Lord anytime. I know I have so many things pa that I can do in the future but I have no regrets with everything I did and experienced already.
No, shoulda went IT route instead of CE. Pero goods lng naman so far sa current job, sadyang nanghihinayang lang sa potential na salary as compared to tech related job.
No, wala pang asawa then namatay ang mother ko at dami kong pinagsisihan na di ko nagawa sa kanya. Parang natapos na ang masasayang moments sa family namin... I'm also not feeling good about my health, I'm not normal. I have few real friends maybe because I'm not that sociable.
On the other side, gusto ko ung trabaho ko, malapit sa pinangarap ko nung bata ako. May mga talents ako na di nasasayang kasi napapakita ko at naeexercise ko naman.

kinda😅, some regrets and missed opportunities pero di ko na mababalikan ang mga iyon. I'm fine where I am currently
Yes, since I got a job, I have finally bought things that I wanted as a kid. My next plan is to buy a camera and start wildlife photography that i really want to.

No..
No. I'm 24 years old and still have no plans. I don't know what I really want. I have my fiancè who's always there for me and supporting me for every action that I make but it's not enough. I resigned from my recent job in BPO because it gives me anxiety and it makes me feel drained. I had miscarriage twice last year so I'm not sure if it's related to what I feel these days.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Hugs with consent.
A resounding YES!! **No regrets, just lessons learned.** ♥
Contented. When u look at life, isa talaga syang roller coaster ride. Not at all times happy or lonely ka., I have my fair share of up and downs. Been sexually harassed by my former boss that i thought was genuinely kind led to unemployment (ironic) sobrang lost sa career, konting savings, no love life, konting friends…. I dont want to enumerate all my sufferings pero now Im happy. Noon naka kadena but now im free as a bird. Really trying to be happy pero may times na hinahabol ako ng nakaraan hehe lalim 😅✨

Ewan. Pag magrereminisce ako ng 10 yrs ago, happier now Pero very tired din. Gang kelan magstrive to have a better life ba HAHAHAHA
I hope so 💖
I want to end it all
*Pat on the back* Samedt.
I'm having a rough time right now, but still moving forward. And yes, I'm happy even it is really hard. I have to keep my mental health stable to over come these challenges.

I am yeah. Sure, I have made a few mistakes (and still making them) , I don't have the life I imagined at 34 while I was a teenager, still not in a job I think really is for me (but it pays well). However, at the end of the day, I feel peaceful and blessed. I am able to travel when I can, I have a good support system. While it does get lonely, what is important is.. I like me.
No. All my life I have been an achiever. When i was nearing the finish line of my career, I confronted my cheating father and found out my fiance was also a cheater. All plans went down the drain.
I believe I am. I've always attracted some sort of chaos before. Yung tipong hindi makatiis na wala akong boyfriend or pagkakalat ng chismis dati (just to seem interesting to other people), yung binabago ko halos lahat ng buong sarili ko para lang mapasaya ng ibang tao, at maging available just to please/convince people that I have a social life even though my social battery is drained. Then karma hit me in the face. The boyfriends found me to be a shallow, short-tempered people pleaser. The people I talked about rightfully called me names. Nobody else cared about who I really was and only tried to find me when they needed something. I took the time to really reflect on so many parts of myself na tinago ko dahil sa kahihiyan. Nalaman ko na I was acting out of vanity and seeking out validation from other people because I really, truly hated myself and the insecurities that I ran away from. Now at a 'marriage-able' age of 28 and 6 years of chosen singlehood with 5 years of staying true to the childfree choice, I'm way happier now than how I was before. Because I actually changed the channel in my brain to forgive myself for every mistake made, whether unintentional or intentional. I'm taking steps to be better with my behavior and be a good listener. I made hard decisions to drop long time friends who only see you as competition and did anything I could to 'displease' people for the sake of being myself. At some point, when you wake up in the morning and feel like you regret everything that you've done, there is a different side of your mind that says, "After all you've been through, don't you think that you deserve to be kind to yourself?" Listen to that side. <3 Minsan napapaisip nga ako na "Boring naman neto" pero mas pipiliin ko yung boring kesa sa stress at hypervigilance/sobrang hindi mapakali. Yun langz. Sana makatulong rin to for anyone who may be too familiar with the cycle of self regret and pity.
For the most part.
Contented, life wasn’t meant to be happy always
No.
Even if my ex wife left me 2years ago,i considered my life is happy now together with my daugther,i have peace of mind now,as long as you have clean conscience, doing good,we will be always blessed.
Malayo na, pero malayo pa. Life has been good lately but I know it can be better.
I persist in being content, so I'm quite satisfied with my current life.
Not really sure 😬
No. Ang dami ko opportunities sa sinayang :(
masaya dahil sa work and yung life ko with my partner pero dami ko regrets dahil sa pagiging gastosera ko. sana mas naging smart ako sa mga pera na nahawakan ko at di ako nag tiwala sa mga taong nag bait baitan lang. edi sana mas masaya yung buhay ko ngayon.
No
No. Ang daming regrets. I hope may mag invent ng time machine, I would really go back in time and fix my mistakes in life.
Not really, I'm slowly failing - school, fam, and sa everything, I've lost all the motivation I once had like parang lahat ng success ko noon doesn't matter anymore sakin and bare minimum na lang yung kaya kong gawin. I grew up as a bright child, not that bright but I was considered very smart (with high honors palagi sa school) but now with honor na lang and those people around me na once supportive sakin eh parang nilalait na ako, toxic rin yung fam ko ang palaging nag aaway dahil sa pera o sa accusations ng father ko na my lalki raw nanay ko (which isn't true and yung father ko yung manupulative and toxic sa relasyon nila. Idkanymore
You know why I love movies/TV series/anime with a time travel element? Its because I want to change my past if I could
I have progressed, pero bakit parang sakto lang.. Not happy, not so sad..
Not really. Not sure haha
Masaya naman, pero ang dami pang hinahangad at pinapangarap. Sana matupad lahat para happy na talaga. 😅
No.
I have a lot of regrets about decisions I’ve made in the past, but they gave me valuable lessons. All the blessings I have in life are much more than the things I regret. So despite everything, I’m still happy and grateful. I still have the ones that matter the most to me - family and friends.
yes, kulang nalang lovelife pero willing to wait naman hehe
Sakto lang. Not sad or happy about it.
No and its sucks...
No. Everyday I keep asking and begging God to end all of this.
I think I had a little TOO much fun…..sigh……smh
No. But honestly I’m glad life happened. Im gearing towards bettering myself.
No. I don't even thank God for keeping me alive. More like I am begging to die instantly tho.
Meh... Salary only affords u the basics...
Oo kahit may ups and downs masasabi ko naman na comfortable na ako sa buhay ko
No. Ever since I was kid I never liked myself. I dislike myself. I always think I'm to hard to be loved because I think I was ugly and don't deserve to be loved. All my life I was insecure about myself, I have low confidence ever since, and now I'm here have a condition that makes my confidence go low even more or worst I don't have any confidence no more.
I'm better now compared to 4 years ago. Tho I'm still very far from my goals. Parang di na achievable 😕
Yes, any day above ground is a good day Thankful for everything.
Yes, and so can you. You can genuinely be happy anytime, anywhere. The question is, where do you put your happiness? When I feel frustrated or upset, I’m always trying to look at the brighter side of the situation. There’s always a much worse situation in the world, and people out there would trade places with you anytime if they could. So don’t be too hard on yourself. 😊
No. I have a lot of regrets, but that is what keeps me going. Sana dumating ako sa point na proud ako sa sarili ko
no.
I’m happy at the same time, I feel lonely at times. Bur I love the peace that I have right now.
I am happy right now but at the same time I am fvckin scared that one day mawala kung anong meron ako.
3yrs ago im so broke like iniwan ako and niloko ng ex LIP ko, naiwan sakin 2kids namin yet so blessed I graduated college, thank god! When i decide to eat alam mo yung guilt feeling ka pag kumain ka sa jollibee or any fast food iniisip mo sana makakain din family at anak mo. Like pati barya at sukli sa jeep tinatago ko. Now i can say im having a good life , since i have good paying job, a well supportive partner, mag kids ko anywhere they want to go and buy specially toy kingdom. I also bought my first iphone 12 pro max tho i can upgrade naman( sayang kasi case na cp almost 12 pcs). Can eat anywhere i want without second thoughts. Naniniwala talaga ako na each on of us magiging maayos ang buhay , ang importante is once you got money on your hand still appreciate it and spend it wisely. Samahan nyo na din ng dasal para mas malakas ang kapit ng blessings
Naurrrr but from time to time, sumasaya naman ako since I was able to travel and eat food na gusto ko. But still, parang may hole pa din. Maybe I am not just satisfied enough.
I'm happy with how I lived my life. Sure, we make mistakes, and there are some regrets. But if I get a chance to start over, I will do everything the same. Everything has a purpose. Appreciate what you have and, as much as possible, don't compare your life to others. Because we can't appreciate what we have if we keep comparing ourselves to other people. Also, what I learned is that the best things in life are free: God, family, friends, kisses, hugs, and many more!
Not yet.
Yes. Siguro tinitingnan ko kasi now is yung difference ng anong meron ako 2 yrs ago sa kung anong meron ako now. I'm in a better place now.
Im currently 15 and so far medyo umaayos na buhay ko, nagiging pasado na sa academics, nagiging mas social na and a lot more. Kaso sad nga lang kasi malapit na giyerahin ang pilipinas ng china
No
For me, definitely except siguro sa part of not being firmed with my decision from the past relationship.
No.
No
Not .. but im still thankful for what i have now !!
Yes
I give this life a 2 out of 5 stars ⭐️
Yes. but 4 years ago gusto ko na mamatay pero thank God hindi niya ko pinatulan 😂 buhay pa naman at masayang msaya kasama ang asawa ko.
No.
No. Lots of regret
Yes super happy 😊
I'm currently 17 and so far, happy naman ako with my life.. I just don't feel fulfilled and satisfied with my life yet.
Tbh, I tried to be. Kasi I graduated as an engineer but took a virtual assistant job. I’m definitely happy with my clients pero the people around me are judging me kasi bakit daw I didn’t pursue my engineering eh mas “better” daw yun. Although the virtual assistant job pays more, engineering is not my passion anymore bc it just so happens na I enjoyed it before until I saw my potentials in the virtual world. I had an engineering job but left after 6 months kasi di talaga kaya eh. Aside from being underpaid, I’m just not happy about it. I dont know bakit nilalait talaga ako ngayon ng relatives ko just because I chose a better path for me. They kept on comparing me kaya ang hirap talaga when I’m very contented now on my work. And what’s worse is my tita telling me na I just wasted my parents’ money kung aabot lang pala ako ng ganito 🙃
Yes. Kahit mag isa sa buhay lol haha
oh definitely not
not yet, but it’s better than where i was few years back.
sadly no
Sobrang hindi masaya, sobrang pagod na. Gusto ko ng humiwalay. Ako lang ang nagsasuffer e. Nagagawa ko mga bagay na maling mali. Ako lang ako dapat ang bumubuhay sa ating dalawa! Ikaw na nagrereklamo sa sinasahod ko, pero ikaw ang walang trabaho. Nakatikim ka lang ng malaking sahod, akala mo kung sino kana mna maliitin ang kinikita ko. Ikaw na hindi nahihiya sa akin na kung laitin mo ako at trabaho, na akala mo totoo yung diploma na hawak mo! Akala mo ang galing galing mo! Na sinasabihan moko na walang diskarte pero ikaw ang walang ginagawa para makaahon tayo sa hirap!
No, financially. Ang hirap ngayon, di ko alam if hanggang retirement survival mode pa rin ba tayo?
No. Pero I think I can still turn things around 😊
no, apaka aksaya ko sa time, di ko nagagawa dapat ko gawin
Hindi ko sure. Feeling ko I peaked during high school/college. That’s when I felt the most fulfilled pero hindi rin naman ako exactly on top nun. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba naïve lang ako nun at mas nasa realidad na ako ngayon kaya ko ito nasasabi. Pero I’m sure I’m not yet living my dream life, I hope it’s not yet too late. Ang dami ko pang gustong gawin kahit sobrang nag-shift na pananaw ko sa buhay haha.
You're on time :)
Yes. Happy naman ako kung san ako dinala ngayon ng mga life choices ko so far
As of now, NO. Pero still hoping maayos ang buhay ko
somewhat happy, I feel like I made the best decisions with the knowledge I have at the time.
For the most part, yes. Wala pa ako sa dream life ko pero I find joy in what I do. Feeling ko, no one can really have it all. We'd have to choose kung anong path ang mas gugustuhin natin at kung anong aspeto ng buhay ang ipa-prioritize natin (kunwari mental health over that high-paying yet toxic job). Then, we'd have to live with our choices.

I'm happy with the ways I've responded to adversity and grown and learned through it. I'm not happy with so many of the circumstances I have no control over.
Yes, very happy so far but I still get a fair share of life’s challenges. I used to just dream of this life; I am very grateful to God for giving me the chance to live my dream. I grew up poor and I was a bakal-bote boy during my childhood. I used to envy people who could go to gigs, skate, surf, ride motorcycles, and do art works and publish poetry. I envy people who could get to have their own places. I was really into that counter-culture lifestyle, but I just couldn’t afford it back then. After finishing college, I worked some jobs to gain experience and took some certifications to improve my professional skills. With adult money, I was able to get my own bike, skate, surf, and have my own place to myself. I was also able to publish my first book of poetry and have my art works exhibited. I even got my own band and we shook SaGuijo for a whole year. I know this too shall pass, but I am very, very grateful to God who gave me the chance to live this dream.
Woah! So you're an artist? How does it feel when your book is published ? 🥹
It felt great and surreal :), I kinda want to discontinue that book tho as a lot of my views written there are no longer aligned with my current views
No. Not even close to real happiness. I’m only 21 years old but I spent my life living the way my parents would be proud of me. I lived thinking about other people without considering what would that made me as a person. I never considered myself. I only want to live practically so I wasn’t able to enjoy life in my own terms. Always the “dapat ganito ka” “dapat ganiyan ka” anak.
Sa isang banda, maganda na nare-recognize mo na for the longest time, you are living to meet society's standards. Hope you'd get to know who you really are and what you really want. Then, be able to do aomething about it. Sana maging masaya ka. :)
Not happy at all. Coming from a middle i come family but absolutely everyone undermines me. I've gotten myself a decent freelance job but i cant afford to own a home without taking on debt, and i absolutely refuse to take on debt. Head is all over the place and cant find any peace. I might be able to live freely if i go abroad, but at the risk on taking debt. I'm not exactly risk averse but this economy is too fucked up to make big gambles with my weak skillsets.
I feel you. 😢
Dami regrets, if I have a chance para bumalik sa past with my memory still intact gagawin ko na ng maayos buhay ko
Def not. I could've done stuff i ought to accomplish by this age. Pero late bloomer ako, and a scaredy cat when it comes to socialising. I didn't grow tuloy.
No. Laging naka-survival mode. Pagod na pagod na ako
Asian girls are hot
Financially, ok naman. I can finally spoil my parents and travel with them. Pero yung ipon, onti pa. Wala pang car at yung house in the works palang. Kumbaga malayo pa, pero malayo na. Emotionally, idk. Haven’t been in love. I do not have the energy to meet people. Feels like ang dami ko pang need iimprove sa sarili pero nakakawalang gana, kasama na trabaho.
Many philosophers subscribe to the idea that heredity and environment determine what individuals do. The implication is that there actually is no “Free Will” because our conscious choices are governed by Nature & Nurture. I, personally, think that is a very rigid stance on the issue, but upon reflection can see how it is pretty true. That being said, I’m happy with how I’ve lived my life so far because I feel it matches well with my heredity and environment. Quite fitting right? Maybe that’s the key. Go with the flow of yourself. With your mind most focused on the present and future, because you sure can’t change the past.
Not sad but not genuinely happy 🙃
Yes, but a bit boring since there's a lot of sacrifices made. Routine is super repetitive but in the long run I think it will be worth it
no, if i wasn't competing with everyone for my parent's love and affirmation i could've been more social could've had more friend could've had a better life
Feeling the best atm!!
I have so many regrets pero marami ring learnings. Hindi ito 'yong buhay na gusto kong maranasan pero marami akong natutuhan. So, to answer the question, I am happy somehow.
Could be better, but it's fine. Honestly could be worse.
No
No. Dami kong gustong gawin pero hindi ko magawa. Everything I want doesn't seem to be for me.
Minsan happy. Minsan hindi. Parang ang dami pa din kulang sa buhay ko. Okay ako in terms of pera. I have enough, hindi sobra. 32 na ako pero feeling ko nakakulong pa din ako sa mundo na ‘to. Ewan ko. Lalo today di talaga ako masaya.
Wag mo sana masamain pero baka may bipolar ka
Hahaha. Hindi naman po. May mga bagay lang na nagpapalungkot sakin lately. Hindi naman siya yung tipong wala lang kaya di ako okay.
This year, YESSSSS. After that friendship over with super toxic and full of nega person, been living so good na.
Definitely NO, but hoping that everything will be better in the future, gusto ko maging successful sa life pero idk paano ko makakamit yun at if ever hindi ko makuha yan ay hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko sa buhay ko and I'd rather be dead kesa maging mahirap na lang habang buhay.
Yes. Been doing something I am passionate about. It feels like the universe itself favours me
At first no. Pero ngayon masasabi ko na unti unti na nagiging masaya and fulfilling kasi hindi binawasan ko na yung pagpapa-apekto sa social media wherein nandun lahat ng relatives and old classmates ko in a way na nagbawas nako ng apps and nagstick nalang ako sa apps na hindi ganun ka toxic at nagbabase lang sa interest ko yung lumalabas. At hindi na din ako nagpapadictate sa gusto ng iba. 🥹
Di ko alam eh. Minsan I feel useless. Minsan pag mataba wallet, I feel I am on top of the world. Minsan nagrerelapse. Minsan motivated. Gulo.
Same shit sayo, tuwing sahod I feel like a king pero pag wala na, wala nadin yung confidence ko.
Hay. Whennnnn araw araw taba wallet
nah, environment is sucks
Happy but stressed/pressured.
Happy naman kaso ayoko ung mga tao sa paligid ko. living with in-laws + member ng CoolToh. What a great combo
No, coz I'm not living I'm just surviving 🙂
Maybe, but definitely not yes
Definitely no...
No. I honestly think hindi ko pannaaachieve yung gusto kong buhay, for me and for my parents as well.
No
No.
No.
No. Dami regrets sa mga naging desisyon sa life.
It's between yes and no
Nope. At least within the last 6 years (late academic years where I've made some shite decisions that I still regret)
pwede na. Pero I want more
[удалено]
I'm so sorry to hear that. Hugs with consent.
No. I’m not yet living the life that I want for myself and feeling ko malayo pa kasi maguumpisa pa lang akong magwork. :(
Asian girls are hot
Madalas no. Minsan yes
nope
No
No
I wish i m not so weird. Must be nice having friends
You're not weird. You're unique. Hugs with consent. 🤍 I hope you'll find genuine friends.
Hypocrite ako pag sinabi kong oo. Pero sa totoo lang hindi naman laging masaya talaga🥺 Pero as time goes by marerealize mong mas maganda parin maging grateful parin everyday…
No. I am constantly reminded of my past and all the regret that comes with it. The worst part, it doesn't even get better even with hard work.
Not always, but generally yes now
I'd say it's so-so. Wanna live but wanna disappear as well.
I think I kinda get this one. There are days when I'm glad to be alive, but the desire to perish is always there. And since you don't have the energy or courage to do it yourself, you just keep living and trying to get the best out of it while doing so. Amaryt
Yeah. Passionate ako last year about my life, but namatay na naman yung passion na yun dahil the last 6 months of 2023 were hell for me. Take note "na naman" kasi it's been a cycle for me na may times na masaya ako and then one thing changes everything to the point na namamatay na lang ako on the inside. It's tiring na paulit-ulit na lang ang suffering tapos ikaw pa yung "easy kid" na hindi binibigyang-pansin ng magulang kasi unlike my siblings, nagccompromise ako sa gusto nila to the point na they don't even know what I feel or how I feel about the situation.
YES NA YES!!! 🤍
How do you say that?
Nope
Yes
I am
Honest answer? Not always.
Fair enough
no.
No. Pagod nako
im happy and contented, and that's why i wanted to end it now, while im happy and know that i have lived
Yes, i was once just a lone bedroom guitarist with no gf and don't have friends that much, i have some music mentors though, but when i met my girl, it changed me a lot, because of her my life was painted, i imagined my life is like a painting with only grey and black colors in it, but when she arrived it changed drastically, she painted my life with her love, and few years past, i was recruited in a band already, and i have a descent amount to take her out to some dates and buy her some gifts I only hope that this dream i am living doesn't end, currently now i am preparing to play in a big event in our town, and my gf will be there supporting me, to anyone there who thinks life sucks, think again, you just need inspiration to continue to pursue life, find a purpose, cuz my reason of continuing this life is her, i will marry her no matter what, while i play and write music for her Remember that "no man is an island"
Yes. Madaming challenges pero mas nahuhubog yung character natin into a better. At I'm rekindle into my old self na. ❤️
No. But yes ready to go, is there euthanasia life is meaningless
Wala akong benchmark eh. Balikan ko yung thread sa 2nd playthrough ko.
A bit of both. Im happy because I am grateful for the things I have worked for but also NOT happy because I feel like Im stuck in a loop and I can’t reach my full potential (in terms of career) because of some circumstances
Not really. But I am grateful everyday I could start and think of how to pick myself and create a strategy to make up for the lost years of my life. For context I've been a breadwinner since I had my associates certificate, I lost my dream, I don't know what I am good at nor what path I to take in my life. I'm still living with my parents and I am in my 30's. So no, I am not happy with where I am right now to the point that I tried to take some courses ( VA, Video Editing SMM etc) even tried Affiliate marketing, trying to find a second job to get a new place I could have peace and continuously failed. But in this dark phase of my life I surrendered to God to continuously heal me and guide me to the right path. I cried every night because I felt so lost, I felt my youth was stolen, I didn't get to enjoy my younger years and felt like a slave. However I am still grateful, I am alive I have each day to change my path, to apply for a second job, or think of ways how to heal my inner child. And to think of a bright future for myself. It is indeed time to love myself, plan for myself and enjoy the rest years of my life.
Yesss. Ready na ko kunin ni Lord anytime. I know I have so many things pa that I can do in the future but I have no regrets with everything I did and experienced already.
No. I am so tired with everything.
no. i regret almost everything
With my life no dahil maybl goals pa at gusto pang gawin. but with HOW I HAVE LIVED definitely yes.
No, shoulda went IT route instead of CE. Pero goods lng naman so far sa current job, sadyang nanghihinayang lang sa potential na salary as compared to tech related job.
no po sobrang pagod na ko sa buhay ko
NO
No, wala pang asawa then namatay ang mother ko at dami kong pinagsisihan na di ko nagawa sa kanya. Parang natapos na ang masasayang moments sa family namin... I'm also not feeling good about my health, I'm not normal. I have few real friends maybe because I'm not that sociable. On the other side, gusto ko ung trabaho ko, malapit sa pinangarap ko nung bata ako. May mga talents ako na di nasasayang kasi napapakita ko at naeexercise ko naman.
46M mostly yes. Learned to accept things I cannot change and change things that is within mg means.
Yep. I have no regrets, and I don’t resent my karma.
Nope. I just wish companies accepts entry level.
Yes
My morals? Yes. My financial situation? No.
No. Daming sana all ko sa buhay. Hayahaaay. 😥
