Why can't y'all recognize
That we all came from sacrifice?
If you know the
reference, you are a real one lol. Anyways, I guess this is a
response/continuation of Rod’s recent post: Embrace Your Singleness
2. To me, life seems to be all about making sacrifices. From
something like “do I sacrifice an hour of sleep for an extra hour
of videogames?” to sacrificing 4 years of your time for a
“prestigious”, “recognizable” piece of diploma, a lot of
times we are forced to make decisions because time is so finite. The
question that begs then, is “are the sacrifices worth it?”.
Obviously, this is a subjective question. What is the best decision
in a situation depends on different contexts, and the individual’s
values too. I mean, think about it. After spending 4 lengthy years in
school, heck some graduates are still unemployed. Is it worth it? To
some, they might say no, because having a degree didn’t get them a
job. To others, they might say yes despite being jobless, for the
theoretical constructs they have learned, for the experiences that
have transpired and prepared them for adulthood, for all the valuable
friends that they have met throughout. For myself, sometimes I really
don’t know if my sacrifices are worth it or not. You know? Working
hard, getting promoted, saving up for a car, a house, and starting a
family, blah blah blah. Am I sacrificing for myself? or my family?
Sure enough, money is a crucial aspect of life. But there are also so
many things money cannot buy, like time, experiences, long-lasting
happiness. I really wish there is someone who I can share my life
with, someone who is also willing to share their burdens/struggles
with me. Ultimately, someone who will make these sacrifices worth it.
But unfortunately, that is just a part of life that you can’t
control. I remember a friend once said something to me along the line
of “if someone leaves you at your worst, he/she doesn’t deserve
you at your best.” Needless to say, I am beyond thankful for those
who chose to stick around in my life. Those who have supported me in
my struggles, those who have believed me when I didn’t believe in
myself, those who have reached out with a kind heart and loving
encouragements… I will never forget it. Life might feel lonely and
real difficult at times, but those who love and care for you will
always give you meaning to keep living.
Put the hours in, put the work in
Swear I try so hard to be perfect
But sometimes, it feels like a burden
Cause I still ain't crap but a person
