WordStream Blog #1: Wounds from Handwash

 

Every now and then, I tend to relapse days before my menstrual period came.

Today, at 8am, I just woke up and decided to write my first blog at 9am. Reminded myself to look at my fingers having some tiny wounds from handwashing our clothes last night, using a strong bleach. My body aches from working the whole afternoon yesterday. Then I realized, maybe my body is taking its time to tell me to rest for a while.

I remembered that in these past few days, I'm emotionally drained from things that happened so fast. Tired from going to office and going home. Tired from thinking of ways to fit our small budget every 15 days. Tired from thinking whether to resign and look for other companies that gives high salary. Tired from my wishful thinking to transfer to a different neighborhood and have our own home. Tired from the responsibilities that is given from me, and them not asking me if I'm still okay or them for not apologizing for making me carry all their burdens of responsibilities.

Maybe, just maybe. My friend is right when he told me to take some time to rest. I'm happy and willing to help my family to the best I could, but sometimes, breadwinners like me, becomes weak and needed some ears to listen to my rants. We also want some pillows to hug us when we need it the most. But for now, I'll be hugging myself. :) :) :)
