Living a simple life is enough

Welcome back, hivers, to my new blog! Today, I'm going to share with you about our lives and the challenges we face. So, I'll start from the very beginning. Come and join my blog!

My father was a driver, and he only had work at the Barangay hall. Because he was thinking about how to earn money, he decided to start a business. He has many businesses, but he only focuses on one because he is very busy. His business involves finding coconuts and their shells. So, we helped our father in this situation because it's not easy for him to do it alone. Sometimes, we go to the places where he trusts people or where his business partners are located to get a lot of coconut shells.

So after getting those many coconut shells, we go home and need to smash them using our car because it's not allowed to not smash them. My father said we must do this because if we pass them to the company without smashing, it's not required and we need to adjust for the sake of having at least a little income. We start getting coconut shells in the morning and we come back to our house in the evening, and we drop them on the floor twice. By the way, it's also not allowed if there's something like wheat. We need many people to do it quickly, and yes, we're always united in this work because of our father.

Mostly, my father wants to deliver the coconut shells on weekdays from 9 to 10 PM. So, after smashing them, we need some sacks to keep the coconut shells safe when it's raining and to balance the weight. Also, to balance the car and not waste time. If my father is not at home, we have to work hard to avoid stressing him and give him a break. We see our father's face suffering, but he never says 'I'm so stressed about this.' He never give up, and we are proud to have a father like him. Although we are busy sometimes, he understands like what we do for him.

In the other half of the time, we need to dry it and it must turn dark in color because this oil comes from it. That's why my father is so busy, and sometimes he has no time for us because of his business. We understand these things because all he does is for us. All we can do to bond with our father is like how we travel, but the difference is getting a coconut shell. Yes, it's happy. At least we do this all imagining traveling to Cebu. The most important thing is to not forget to appreciate the little things that bring happiness to you, and to accept who you are now. Don't be afraid to share with other people because it's natural for the current generation. The chance of improving is waiting for you, and life does not stay in a poor situation. If you really want to work hard, you can reach what you want, and yes, life starts from difficult ways.

It is time to have the coconut shells delivered to Cebu, so my father calls someone to help him carry the coconut shells. Sometimes, he has 3 to 4 boys as helpers. It helps my father not to be alone during his travel. However, it also depends on his money. If he has no money, he can't call anyone, and only my brother is with him. There are times when he travels alone and we can't join him because it's a school day. I am very worried during those times, and I can't sleep well because I think about my father. I'm sure he gets bored and feels sleepy while driving. He really enjoys traveling in the evening to avoid the hot weather on Earth and to reduce stress because evenings are cooler.

Helping your parents or other people is the sweetest idea ❤️😍, and also loving the people who are around you. Being contented is the most important in our lives now. We suffer, we heal. Life is not steady; each one of us makes and finds what's gonna be.

I think this is the end of sharing my personal life. Thank you for reading my blog again. See you in my next blog, and take care always everyone!
