Faci is blabbering about the 6p while I'm here thinking...
Friends and strangers around me. Mostly, my age. I've seen most with the money, splendid camera, smart brains, easy life, great clothes, great pay, car, license, motorbike. Sometimes I wonder, why my life couldn't be like theirs. So that I won't have to save my school pocket money just for the weekends. I mean hey, pocket money is for food in school and it's suppose to feed me when I'm hungry. But I have to ignore the hunger because if I spend it, there will be no weekends for me. Suck isn't it?
I've seen friends around me who managed to juggle work and school. And when they work, they got pay which is equivalent to money and when money comes in, they can do whatever they want. They can buy all those things that they want and they can achieve whatever that they want to achieve.... with their own money. They don't need to hesitate when friends ask them out or they don't even have to think twice whether or not they should go out and shop, or simply just a casual date with their bf'gf. I'm jealouse, of course.
THEY have a great life, duhh!!! I see smile on their face and I see happiness in their life. But I got confused with the phrase " money can't buy you happiness ". Then tell me, what's the exact thing in life that could buy all of us happiness?? Money is of course the factor of happiness, right? I mean without $$$, you won't be able to do those fun things that might bring happiness to our lives. hmm... there goes my dilemma. haha!
But then, I looked again at my life. I have a great family.. I have splendid friends.. I have wonderful boyfriend..I have a house to live and at least, I have school pocket money to support myself.
So, I told myself.. " Girl, your perspective towards life SUCK ".
To hell with the jealousy that I had towards all those people with easy life. My life could be hard but atleast I have a life. I started to learn that each and everyone's path in life is different and I can't compare them with mine. It's not fair for me, my soul and my life. I need to appreciate the things and people that I have with me. I don't have to stress myself thinking about money. No, I don't.
In conclusion, I might see happiness in their life but I blindfold myself from the happiness of my life. My happiness is actually there, right infront of me. Money isn't everything because money is just the pieces of puzzles in my life.
And again I tell myself " change your perspective of life and you'll find happiness. You'll find your pursuit of happiness. "
