The Final Call

I've been working on something big for the past few months. It's a major career change actually, so I really gave it a good time to breathe, while I on the other hand gave it some serious thinking and considered my best options. Work hasn't been treating me well a lot lately, so I haven't been as much dedicated to it since. I've placed my focus on our family business' bazaar which starts next week. I'll tell more about it later.

I've been trying t look for reasons to quit my job before. But I simply could not find any. Now, I'm finding reasons to stay. It's not that I hate my job, but just some of the people you have to work with. If I stand up for myself, I'll be making some enemies.

So I guess I'll just leave then, when everything is ready, when I am...ready.

I don't like the feeling of being abused or taken for granted. Moreover, I don't like fighting over money. But then again, if money determines your performance, and I'm getting lesser and lesser while my workload goes otherwise, I could not help but think things over. I'm paying for a MacBook, and I want to earn at the same time. It's difficult to take this job seriously, especially when people don't realize your worth. It's bad to compare, but who wouldn't.

Maybe it's true what they say, you shouldn't start business with family or friends. You'll end up fighting over money. Not my cup of tea.

Last week, I got my parents' blessings. They say they'll visit, I couldn't argue anymore.

CONTROL versus CONCERN

I'e been having control issues with the people I love a lot lately. There's a thin red line to it, that we seldom notice the difference. We get too carried away at times that we mistake control with concern. It's not true everyday that because you love someone, and you have "love and concern" as grounds, that you can do anything to protect him or her. Sometimes we want to protect them so much, we end up hurting their egos, their emotions.

People we love posses the greatest potential to hurt us, not because they are better than us, but because they know we'd accept the hurt and the pain.



This will heal, in time.
