Just wanted to share how I feel

I am in this point in my life where I do not know anymore what I wanted to do, or maybe I knew what I want but, I am just scared or I just don't know how to start with it. I know I've been teaching since I graduated but right now, I am not happy with it anymore. I feel like this is not where I belong. I mean I know God put me in this, that He has plan for everything. I feel like I served the purpose already of this plan. I am from a family that is not well off. As the eldest I have this desire to graduate and find a job immediately so that I could help my parents in finances. The easiest and cheapest course I found is teaching. I studied in Philippine Normal University since it is known for being on the top and of course, since it is a state university, you dont have to pay a lot for the tuition fee. I graduated year 2011, took the LET exam and passed. From then on, I started teaching and earned money. I am happy that I was able to help my parents with finances and that I was able to contribute in my siblings successes. My youngest brother graduated last year. And that when me and my boyfriend for 6 years planned to get married Dec 2018. After getting married, I realized that teaching is not really for me. Well maybe, I just convinced myself before that that is where I belong just because I have to have the means to help my parents. But now, I not happy with it anymore?. I really wanted to quit my job but, I can't. I still don't know what I want to do after quitting. Or maybe I knew, I just don't know how. I wanted to find a new job, basically office works then put up my own business. I am crying right now cause I feel like it will be difficult for me to quit and start a new journey.

Hi, sis. You have to really pray for guidance on deciding what you really want or what God really wants for you. Magkaiba kasi yun diba. Don't be too hard on yourself. Allow yourself to take it one day at a time. Baby steps ika nga. Hindi naman ganun kadali to take a big leap unless nalang you are sure on what the next step is and determined to take it. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowlege Him and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5,6 🙂

You're welcome, sis. Minsan talaga dumadating tayo sa crossroads ng buhay natin regardless kung anung age natin. Pero I believe na with God on your side, malalampasan mo rin yan, sis. God bless you!
