this post pops in my head when i read my friend's blog about her ambition. there is one part when she mentions about finding a rich husband, no offense to her post, but i do think we don't need to find a rich husband in order to be happy. Money only solves financial problems when there are a lot of problems out there besides money. If you can buy all the things you want, you only satisfy your physical needs not your spiritual needs.
this afternoon, i was on my way meeting my friends at Grand City. i saw my teacher from junior high school and it breaks my heart to see him in a pedicab on his way home. it's been such a long time since i graduate from junior high and i just can't believe he's still using a pedicab. not that i insult people who are using pedicab as their transport, i just think that his financial status should have been improved from last time. oh yeah, he is an active Catholic and i often saw him read the reading for the mass in the church. from there, i realized even if his financial status is not improving, he is still happy because he loves God wholeheartedly and surrenders his life fully to God. God really cares to his people.
my mother told me another story about my brother's teacher. my mother has gone to his house which is such a 'simple' house but somehow i imagine you'll feel peace there. he has been praying the rosary prayer every night for years. it looks simple but i've tried another prayer which only requires 9 days to pray it continuously at the same time and i failed. so it really took a big effort to do it for years! he looks happy and he has never been sick which is amazing considering he is quite old. with the small pay of teachers, he successfully raised his children which are all graduates as bachelors. such an achievement! even one of them successfully become a doctor, as you know the tuition for medical program is not cheap.
so yeah, it doesn't mean that i don't need to earn money and just pray to God then money will come from the sky. i believe u just have to surrender and believe in God then God will show you the way :) and God has been such a big help for me in those depressing moments of my life. i never feel God this real before and God is the only one who will never leave you alone.
it makes me realize that there are lots other things which are more important to think of besides a love-shit thing. so yeah, love is such a stupid thing to fill your head with.
i'm sure i can be happy even without a husband or marriage. God's best plan doesn't always include marriage. the reason is that marriage is not a simple thing! so don't think your life will be happily ever after the moment u say 'yes'. your real problems start there, honey. it's not that i become anti guys, for now maybe *sick-of-love-shits* for the future maybe yes, maybe no. but i am going to enjoy my single life to the fullest reaching my dreams and maybe get married when i'm ready :)
P.S.: after u have a family, say goodbye to your dreams and freedom. so yeah, marriage is a huge, big, important, serious, life-changing step in your life. think 1million times before you say 'yes' :)
