Dream vs. Reality: I Thought a Wallet That Never Ran Out of Money Was Possible, But How Wrong I Was!
As a kid with a wide imagination, I really imagined a lot of things back then, from the romance and action genres to comedy and drama. I also love to imagine myself winning in a lottery, you know, those impossible scenarios, haha. But my favorite genre is romance, of course, like those sweet romance stories with a handsome and rich man who falls in love with a poor girl trope—something like that. It's really just fun to imagine these kinds of things. Another favorite of mine was imagining myself working my way up the ladder of success. Getting a nice job, my dream house, and a wallet that never runs out. Having this kind of imagination that I thought was closer to reality helps me a lot during tough times back then.
Seriously, my imagination till now is still as wide as I was as a kid. Until now, I still imagine myself winning in a lottery and living the life I wished I had before. It's fun having an imagination like this, it helps me cope with whatever bad situation I am in. And with my imagination as a kid, I thought I would be able to make even one dream come true today. Although I am living comfortably right now and I can eat three meals a day, still, it's far from what I pictured myself as an adult when I was just a kid.
And seriously, I don't really need much riches, all I want is a happy home, a wallet that never runs out of money, and a life where I don't have to think about where to get cash to buy basic necessities. I still get a headache today whenever I think about this. Like the other day, I had already used up all of my sanitary pads, and I needed to buy them now. But then, I have to set them aside for now because I still have things I have to get first, I have to prioritize, in other words.
Back when I was a kid, I thought if I became an adult, I could get all that I wanted easily, but it didn't mean that I want all this alcohol, not this, (≧▽≦). As a shy person, it's actually really hard. Although I tried, but only once. And I never tried again. And now I am happily stuck at home with my oldies. I am not complaining, though. As a shy person that easily gets intimidated with everything, this is a good thing for me. But because I don't have a regular job, I can't just buy what I want. It's always needs versus needs.
But if I will compare my life today and back in 2015 to 2018, my life today is much easier. Back then I was really just a palamunin at home, haha. It only changed in 2019 when I discovered this crypto blogging site called read.cash. That site really helps me a lot during the pandemic too. I was able to save up too, and now I have a small savings. Then there's Hive, which has been helping me a lot until now. Thanks to that, I can help at home using half of my rewards here. I can say I have "ambag" now, or contribution at home. Lol
Even though my financial status right now is far from what I dreamed of, I am still happy and contented. But if I'm given a chance, of course, I will try to change that. But for now, I am happy with how things are right now. I'm not living the best of the bestest life, but I'm living happily, and that's just alright, no?

We might not be living our ideal, but as long as our reality is happy with the right people surrounding us, then it's all worth it. Stay happy and healthy, ganda!!! :D
Yep, yep, haha, mala fairy tale ba, lol. Ang saya baga mangarap ng gising HAHAHA.
Yes! That! And financial status is not the best, for now, but it feels great pa rin coz i'm with the fam. Diko need lumayo to work ba. Haha. Ang seriously mas masaya talaga ig with the family no. I know you can relate kasi wfh ka and you're loving with your parents. Like mas nakaka close talaga natin sila in this setup. Ehe
Yes, we all try to make our dreams come true. It's not always easy, and often we may never reach our ultimate goal. But even small steps toward success can greatly improve our lives. That's why we should never give up. I always imagine it like this: If I'm hiking to a high mountain peak, I shouldn't stare at the summit the whole time. Instead, I should focus on each individual step, because every successful step brings me closer to the top.
I am really happy that you are doing much better now than in the past, @ruffatotmeee, especially partly also thanks to the support you have found on Hive!
Yes, that! Slowly but surely no, hopefully, the time will also come where we can finally achieve those dreams. Focus and know your priorities na din.
Thank you ✨💃
I can relate to this hahaha.Because of too much reading romance my ideal man became a rich good man with a business who fall a girl like me hahahah.That's why I am having a hard time commiting into relationship.
Haha parang tumaas na din standard mo sa lalaki no, haha. Like, those stories are really good, so it cant be helped if we also start dreaming it. Lol
Proud of you sis. And yes, keep manifesting your dream life :) libre naman mangarap talaga. I hope you reach your goals.
I can totally relate to this! Huuuuugs 🤗 It's so true how our childhood dreams change, but it's amazing that you've found a way to feel happy and contribute to your family 💕 Regardless of the financial status, what matters is that you're living happily right now 💖🌷
When we were kids we thought life is easy, that we can have what we want and our imaginations were free to imagine whatever we like. But as we go on in life and became adults, we found out that the reality is too different from what we used to imagine. And we wish we will go back to being a child again.
No matter what the situation is, as long as you are happy I think it's ok. Happiness always matter😁.
