Lately, I've been overworked and I couldn't do anything about it. I am thankful for all these blessings I get (because not everyone has work) but at the same time, I am quite sad I am not spending as much time with myself and my loved ones as I want.

For this week alone, I missed two appointments and four bloggers events. Edwin and I haven't gone to the mall since Sunday. The restaurant I've been itching to visit remains a plan in my head. My plan to go to Divisoria and go ukay shopping in Cubao has been put on hold. The list of movies I was not able to catch on the cinema remains on the drafts folder of my phone. The books I wanted to read during weekends continue to pile up inside the cabinet. Lastly, the dishes I wanted to cook for my father and two siblings will have to wait.

It's true when they say that you can't have everything in this world. There are things that you have to miss, sacrifice or delay to give way to something more important and of greater urgency. But it doesn't mean you have to give up and live a life full of complaints. Sometimes putting your shallow sentiments in writing can make you feel better. Just like what I'm feeling now as I'm typing this post. Life isn't bad, after all. It's just a matter of perception. I know soon I'll have ample time to enjoy the things that add colors into my life.
