Wait, wait ... does summer have ended already? From the day I remember it started like the first week of April and then now… I was looking forward to going to places, not just far away from home. The island of Limasawa, one of the islands of Bohol, or maybe some island in the Pacific area of Southern Leyte. But, I just kept sighing, only but, I could say for now.
The summer season for me is like an escapade. It's the time when I can be in places that would help me to relax or enjoy the hard work I've been through. Ignore the expenses as long as it's not much that would empty my pocket; it's fine for me. The expenses can be tolerated since it's about rewarding myself. Also, it's about taking a rest for a short time from everything I've been dedicating to. Again it's a “but”, I think it's too late already.
My stupid personality is here again. I'm thinking while I'm at the store watching it over. I see people passing by while some stop by at the store and buy something and sometimes I get annoyed by it. I kind of hate having so many things to do. I remember when I was a bit younger, free or maybe let's say a freeloading one. I can do everything that I want to do. For example, staying in a certain place like on the beach for a whole day long and night. It's okay to spend time that long because there was no one to look for me and there was nothing I could do anyway.
Okay, okay I know, I know that younger days were different from today's. It's just that, I feel like I'm eager to take a break. I envy those people, like friends, neighbors, or maybe strangers that I saw online. They're so lucky to enjoy the warmth of the summer season. However, I'm stuck at home, taking care of so many things to ensure a brighter future. Sometimes, when I'm tired and feel lonely. I self-pity about the kind of life I have and I said to myself; “It's hard to be born poor because you need to work harder to achieve your dreams in life. It's just that, sometimes it's kind of tiring especially when I feel exhausted.”
Well, the fun part of this drama is about accepting the kind of life I'm having now. After the dramatic time, everything fades because what's important is being thankful for the life I'm having right now. I've indeed been busier these days because of the store and being a photographer added to the culturing of pigs. No one told me to do it but it's a choice that I made. So, it couldn't help but to set priorities first before enjoying the leisure of life. Summer will come every year anyway. 😀

He writes occasionally about random stuff he would see in the outside world. He loves to express what he feels through writing because he's not good at speaking personally.
He also writes fictional stories and emotions because he thinks life matters. He is hoping that his words could reach someone who might be feeling down.
