You know, I love my current life. Although I may be taking a risk because if I don't work for a day, I may have no income for the week. But I really love my life now. Working from home, gives me more time to spend with my momsyrosy. Although for a few hours I may be busy doing my work, but I am at home. It is the sense of security and accompaniment. There is someone with her in the same area. Let me simply this feeling with 2 scenarios:
1. You work in the F&B industry and its your duty today to do "closing" -- to clean up the place at the end of the day. Would it be better if everyone has left but you, or you have another person to be in the shop with you (even though you both didn't speak)? I'd choose to have someone with me.
2. You work in the office and you have to do overtime till 9 pm. Will you feel better if someone is where with you probably finishing their work as well, or you're left alone in the office when everyone else is gone?
Since young, I've seen reports on housewives suffering from depression. It is because they're home alone (cooking, doing housework, taking care of the kids, etc) and there is no one to talk to. Even if there is someone to chat on the phone with, it would be another housewife, and usually there would be nothing helpful (usually gossips and overthinking discussions). When there is time for rest, they would probably start to think about I-don't-know-what but I know overthinking kills.
When I was younger, I probably didn't understand. Now I do. Because staying at home alone (not playing computer games) without any healthy outdoor activities can drive a person insane.
I was doing full time waitressing + administrative work in a Food & Beverage industry after graduation, from 11 am to 10.30pm. It took me an hour to work, and another hour to return home. Thus, there was no time for Momsy because the other times at home would be bedtime. Sometimes when I return home, she's asleep.
Then I changed to an office job. From 9 am to 6 pm, but I'd barely leave the office at 6 pm sharp. At the first six months when I was still learning, I would stay till 9 pm. Similarly, it took me an hour to work, and another hour to return home. Which means when I'm home, I'm exhausted and just want to rest for the next early morning.
Therefore, I love my job, because I can here for Momsy most of the time if she needs me, or wanna talk to me, and I love my mom. She has taken care of me for 21 years of her life. How could I possibly leave her at home alone ):
I have this sudden thought for today's post is because I realised how happy I can be in my life! Randomly walking out to the living room to talk to momsyrosy, listening to her craving for the day. Hahaha! And it was all just a choice! To make an adjustment in my life.
Everyone has a choice. It is a matter of: You want it, or not.
Till next time,
