My life right now



I became a mother at a very young age. I gave birth to my eldest when I was 20 years old and after 3 years also gave birth to my youngest. I only have 2 children and both are beautiful and healthy . Life was very hard when we started our family. My husband and I both worked to provide the children's needs. We were so young and in love back then and there were many decisions that we make without even thinking about the consequences. like many other couples, our relationship ended several times to the point that he worked abroad just to give us both time and space to heal. I think, that's the consequence of engaging to premarital sex at a very young age. 

Fast forward. today, we are still together.. we actually got married way back 2016 the year he finished his contract as OFW. That year was indeed a very lucky year for me, coz I also got promotion at work. I forgot to mention, that during all those years struggling between our relationship and keeping with all the needs of our children, I became the bread winner and worked so hard, that I got promoted to supervisory position in just a span of 1 and a half year working. So you see, those past 10 years I was so busy, waking up early, going to work, coming home late...and my day off was only once every week, most of the time I worked overtime.

last February 2021, I resigned from my job and decided to be a full time mom, since my husband found a better job and the salary is good. Since then, I stayed at home, doing all the house chores, cooking, cleaning, sending the kids to school and picking them up...at first it was ok, I was so relieved that finally I can rest and have peace and quite life. But now, I feel like my life is so boring...it's hard to find motivation this days.
