The other side of me.

The other side of me. Greetings, beautiful ladies and gentlemen. I hope you all are doing well. Thank you for stopping by my blog. The theme for this week says, What did you learn about yourself in the past year? As humans we learn every day, and sometimes there are things you don't know about yourself, but as time goes on, as you get more mature by the day, you will start seeing things that you never knew you could do. For me, the new things I learned about myself last year are patience, confidence and boldness.

Part of what I learned about myself is patience. Like I said, I used to be this kind of person that, if I want something, I want it done my way or at the time I want, which is something not possible. I have had issues with people because of my lack of patience, which I sometimes end up regretting. I learned this patience after having my first child. You know how children behave; if one is not careful, you might end up hurting them and yourself too. Sometime last year, I was having some conversation with my husband, and he was like, "What happened to you?" "You really changed, especially in being patient.

I see that you have patience now, unlike when I married you newly," I smiled and told him. "That is growth and maturity." For confidence and boldness, for this one I got it from some of my friends, and also I was disappointed and disrespected; that was what gave me that boldness. As a graduate, unless you are not serious with your life or you already have something doing, you will always apply for any federal government programs. For me, I have benefits from some and I enjoyed it, so I got used to it that anytime a portal is open for any opportunity, I go to apply. There was a time I went to apply for a program; I can't really remember what program that was, but I remember the cafe guy started shouting at me and telling me that I'm disturbing him, I'm too much into money, and that everything I want to apply, don't I get tired? That my husband is a civil servant, what is my problem? That I should let some people benefit also? I couldn't take the harmful words he was telling me, so I left the cafe and went home, cry my life out first.

Then I took the bold step and applied myself. I don't know how I got the boldness because I used to be very scared anytime I want to apply for something, thinking I might make a mistake or something, but after I applied, I got selected and was one of the beneficiaries, and since that day, I started applying for programs myself and also applying for my neighbors. That was how I got the confidence to do things myself. So the things I learned about myself are patience, confidence, and boldness. Thank you for stopping by; see you next time.
