I am blessed with unconditional support from Shu no matter how crazy my ideas sound sometimes. He always proves my family wrong when it comes to things they don't think I am capable of doing myself. I guess it's coz he's got great supportive parents whose always praying for us not matter what we have planned.
I always feel like you can do whatever you want just as long as you know the way or even if you don't know the way, there is always ways to learn. We learn new things everyday. We also relearn things that we have long forgotten. I've come to a point in life whereby I have accepted the fact that I cannot change people and their ways of thinking but I can change the way I see them instead and that changes how I would react to whatever they say.
I always tell myself (and Shu) about how I need to stay focused and on-track so that I wouldn't get caught up in the small stuff. There are a lot of things out there that annoy me or just things that I wish I could change for the better but in reality, I can't do much about it. So, I change the things that I can which makes a difference to me instead.
I'm not like super crazy happy and bubbly like it's all butterflies and rainbows everyday but I've learned that I have to give credit to myself more. I may not be able to do a lot of things but there things that I can do which most other people can't do. I count my blessings everyday and it makes me happy to know that whatever I have makes me happy.
People (family) will talk. They will always say things like you need a bigger house or you need to get a job or your kids need to learn this and that........believe me, try walking in my shoes and you'll know why I sometimes just shut myself off from the world. I like to see my kids happy doing whatever it is they like to do. I like watching Shu conquering one mountain after another from learning things that he likes and I let him do what he wants to do coz it makes him happy.
I am opened to accepting people for what they like and not judge them coz you do you!
