There’s nothing like staying at home for real comfort. –Jane Austen
Staying at home makes us feel comfortable and feel relaxed especially with foggy/chilly weather (missing Home-Baguio City). Sipping your hot coffee or hot chocolate in the afternoon while staring at the windows with hard rain dropping around.
These moments make you reminisce the past. The good and the bad.
Feeling the cold weather, thinking all the stuff you haven’t done in your life. The regrets, the “what if’s” and what you could have been “if only”.
Unexpected life changes misses your past moments and memories with family, friends, your daily routine/jobs, activities and all the crazy things you had done in the past. Mistakes that was not been corrected. Scars that was not been erased and the wounds that was not healed (drama hu-hu!).
Miles away from home makes you realized how family gives you the real comfort. In sickness and in health they are always around to give you support.
The storm comes and you’re looking for a real shelter and a real comfort of a family. The first thing comes on your mind “I just want to go home”. Missing your family from home will make you sick but it inspires you to have more courage and to be strong in order to be alive again!
Counting days and nights. Weeks and months. Missing your family miles away from home #DareToBeThere soon (home sweetie home).
This storm will pass anyway. Instead of stressing life, continue to pursue your dreams and implement your ambitions creating the by-product hope. Without hope, you are more often sick thinking a lot of nonsense, building nothing at all and enjoy life less. Attitude and behavior you show all day will tend to influence those around you. Be positive and don’t lose vitality. Make yourself busy, don’t bury your dreams and talents.
Re-fueling your soul will lead to great results. Despite of all the negative things happening around us continue to make a difference. Try to attempt to do anything risky and don’t be afraid to fail.
According to Mark Twain, people fear things which never happen. A direct correlation with low esteem and fear. People with high self-esteem are more confident in faith ventures and are willing to risk failure to pursue fulfillment.
Looking back in moving to the province. Never in my mind saying “I should never have moved out here” (Negros Oriental).I always embrace new experiences and creating new moments/memories to remember. But, sometimes feeling homesick because things in my place (Baguio City) was so different here.
Back where I used to live and lifestyle. Life in the province to where I live now is harder when it comes to money but when it comes to food, you can plant for your living. I remember being able to eat dinner with my family, the laugh of my niece/nephews while playing with them, watch tv/movies together, out for lunch together and walk in the park (Burnham Park) or around session road (city center road in Baguio City). Window shopping with my mom at the mall and eat out. In my current location, there’s so much going on all the time at the farm.Ridiculous routine. Life in the province is plainly simple not unlike in highly urbanized city. Things are so new and different here.
Memories can be wonderful but don’t focus too much on them. Used your wonderful experiences to move on and grow even better for the present and future life. Try to drive your lives forward with present opportunities and trusting God to take you to a greener grass (hoping to be in a right track). To find inner contentment, have external improvements, self-satisfaction, applause of accomplishments and feeling the warmth of affirmation.
