I remember, people telling me, including my husband, that being a mother requires a lot of sacrifices that include giving up my dreams for myself. They said I should dream for our family instead.
I do not necessarily agree.
Sure, I gotta sacrifice a lot of things now that I have a family and our financial resources are somehow limited. But I never, never stopped dreaming and praying for my dreams to come true.
I still want to take up my MBA.
I still want to buy a vacation house for my mother.
I still want to go to Europe with my family.
I still want to be a UN volunteer.
And I still want that Chanel bag and those Louboutin pumps.
The only sacrifice I am doing now is to wait a lil longer for these dreams to come true. It is frustrating at times but I promised myself to change my perspective from this day onwards.
After all, frustration and stress kill.
And yes, Happiness is a choice.

Wow, that post really boosted my feminist side! As a teenager, you really made me think about what my mum's goals in life that doesn't and did not include me and our family as a whole. By the way, those are some really nice goals you set out for yourself. Hopefully, you're able to attain that happiness soon in your life :)
