I’ve changed.
Have you ever felt like you’re bound to do things greater than what you are actually doing? It’s weird, I am accomplished being a supermom to my boy and a superwife to Josh but at times, I feel like it’s not enough.
I have this dream of doing something big, but what? I don’t know that yet.
Maybe.
Maybe it’s just birthday jitters. I am turning 25.
A quarter of a century old.
Did I accomplish anything? Am I the person I’ve imagined when I was little girl?
I am not that girl I’ve imagined but I am better. But in a different way. To be perfectly honest; I never thought I’d have kids. I didn’t want to have kids. I hated how they were noisy & unruly in malls & churches.
But God had a plan for me. I was blessed. And I embraced it.
My life took a 360 degree change.
If you asked me 5 years ago I would have said at 25 I’m going to be single, fabulous & carefree. I would spend all my money on traveling and clothes. I will be out every weekend & my life will be perfect.
Fast-forward to the present, I am still Fab (hahaha don’t get me wrong!) but it’s different now. Change of priorities. Change of mind-set. I never think of ‘myself’ as me anymore, its myself+2. Any decisions would involve careful consideration of my little family.
And, surprisingly, I am really happy. Not the happy i-am-drunk-at-a-party happy, but happy, fulfilled & contented.
I cannot think of my life without my little family! Of course its not perfect, certainly not a bed of fluffy roses! It takes a lot of sacrifice. work. money. effort to make it work, but at the end of the day. Lying in bed thinking back. I would never change anything.
I had a blast when I was still single, I was Ms.PartyGirl. But I’ve changed. Life is definitely going to be better.

Weird…

huy teka, parang nakita ko myself writing that, haha!
when i was 25 i was doing all of that – single, carefree, travelling, splurging, partying. pero honestly, it got old after a while. when i got married at 27 and never looked back since.
its true, life as a domesticated party girl is fun, but a different fun. had i known that it was going to be as fun as this, i would have gotten married at 25 (e kaya lang di ko pa nakilala hubby ko nun so impossible, hehe!) so yeah despite getting married and having a family, i’m still a partygirl (ergo mrspartygirl, se moi!)
hey, happy birthday!
mee, oo ur ryt, it gets pretty old…i mean dancing every friday??? and waking up with a hangover on a saturday? not very productive.
ahihihi…thanks..i’m having a mid-life crisis lang when i wrote that..
oks na ako ngayon. hehehe
