Romanticizing The Life

I’ll leave tomorrow’s problems to tomorrow’s me — Saitama

A s a beginner in web development, I am always wondering what life will look like 5 years from now. We rent an apartment, but I imagine us (my wife and kids) living in a house somewhere in Florida. Ideally, within driving distance of our family.

As a photographer, I no longer imagine what I could have in 1 or 5 years into the future, but I honestly did at one point. With photography, I was so obtuse, very closed-minded, and never gave myself enough credit for my skills. Although I was good enough, I was never able to market myself well enough and, in the process, injuring any potential growth in that area.

As a blue collar worker, I often imagine what can come with a better career, with a better life, with a better future for my little ones. Working full-time can be tough to focus and/or find the time to actually do any coding/studying.

So I find myself romanticizing a world where things are working out in our favor, where life is not as unpredictable and at times strenuously stressful day in and day out. Week in and week out.

But in this current life, I remind myself that the sufferings we face, are part of the growth and not just a test of endurance or faith.

It’s a late night, a late post. Eating spam musubi and mahi-mahi for dinner, right after some rounds of Among Us with friends online.

That’s where I am, on a mundane night, but content with what I have. Because if I’m not I’m just worrisome and it ruins me mentally. So I live by the day, even if I plan ahead.

Content, so I’m thankful.

Thankful, so I live in joy.

About that web development… developement. I wanna write more on that on a future post. Soon.
