Be Contented

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.

Well, many times we come to realize that we took what we have and who we have for granted. And i'm guilty for that.

When i was still in school, i took my parents for granted. I expect them to provide me the best and gave me whatever i asked for. They did a great job being parents. Dad and Mum worked very hard to give me proper education, bought me books to make sure that i don't lose out in what i shouldn't, gave me tuition to further assist me in my studies, and now forgetting all the family outings that made my childhood such a wonderful one. Yet again, many times i disappointed them. By being defiant, stubborn and disrespectful. And when i started working, i must say i'm still guilty of not being filial. But, i've learned to appreciate them more and not take them for granted. I told myself, that i'll work harder than they had to provide them with a comfortable life. It's not gonna be easy, but i know this is what i should and must do.

Now, i'm seriously dating The Boyfriend and we're planning to settle down soon. I expect him to be there for me everytime i need him to. I want him to be the only one to be able to ease my emotions. When i needed comfort, i expect him to be there. And so, for these, i'm really guilty sometimes for taking him for granted. The Boyfriend always has this in mind: "No matter what you do, be it work or life, i just want you to be happy. I want a happy wife." He tried and is still trying to give me the best he could. And i know he's working very hard for our future. Everytime, if it's within his means, he'll give in to me. He doesn't complain. He doesn't think that it's not worth doing it. And i told myself too, for him, i'll be happy and go home being a happy girlfriend and in future a happy wife.

Be contented. Be appreciative.
