Note:This is my own opinion and not every OFW feel the same way as I am.
Working overseas is very difficult or maybe I am just in a
very difficult situation that I’m already very much afraid of being who I am. I
never realize what my friend said to me in the first few weeks of my stay here
in abroad until this time, that you will not be surprised of other peoples culture,you will be more surprised of the culture of the Filipinos when
they are not in the Philippines.
Truly, I couldn’t
fathom why these things are happening. For me it’s just better to keep quit and
make the best of what we have. Everything can be solved through dialogue not
through banging against each other. I don’t know if this is really how we
should survive but I know that this is wrong. Perhaps, I’d rather not be in
power if power would only make me wrong anyway. I now appreciate what my parents
are trying to impart to us regarding the simple life. But I don’t have regrets.
If this is the best way for me to grow up then so be it. I am just deeply
praying that everything will be fine
someday and everything will fall in place.
This profession may not be my childhood dream and this job
may not be my dream job but because of this day, I was inspired to make a
difference in my own little way. I want to radiate to them the love we should
have for each other for at the end of the day we’re on the same team, that we
don’t have to bully each other for we are not in the battlefield.
To the person who was hurt the most, I’m sorry. I know it
wasn’t a mistake. And if ever it was a mistake, it was an honest mistake.
Whatever it is, I still want to say sorry. That you were down today. That you
became sad today. Our area, perhaps, is the most toxic. But you’re the one who
remain calm and honest and loving as a mother. I may not be perfect but I
promise to do my best to be the best. To be someone that you can be proud of.
Because someday, if I’m already “good enough” in their eyes, I would proudly
say that it was all because of you. Because of your motherly nature, that despite
all the issues they throw at you, you
remain to be the good person like you’ve always been. Thank you.
Love lots,
Your staff J
