My Parents' Hustle Ends With Me.

Lately I've been thinking and also paying very close attention to my parents. Not in a judging like or disrespectful manner, nah. But in a way that makes me respect and love them the more.

I won't and will never talk down on them, in fact, there are a lot of things I even admire about them, talk of their strength, talk of their selflessness, talk of their love, talk of their kind of patience, talk of how they can go all out for one and many more are the things I admire about them. They are just the best.

But then, I can't help but think about the various things they tell us they've gone through, including those we see them go through as well. Talk of the kind of work they've had to do just to put food on the table, talk of the kind of stress and pressure they've undergo, talk of the disrespect that has been dished out to them in the course of their journey and making life a bit easier for us. I can't help but think about it all.

And I respect them for it, I love them for it and I'm grateful to them as well. But then, there's this feeling I can't ignore, it's that I don't want to struggle and go through all that they (my parents) had to go through just so to feed clothe and provide a shelter for us. I don't want a life where I have to keep on striving to survive and take care of my own kids, I don't want....

And I can't help but think about my own children even though I'm not married, I think about them. I know even my parents won't want me to struggle to take care of my own kids the same way they struggled to take care of me. I want to be able to take care of my own children the best, peaceful, and comfortable way possible.

And to my parents as well, I want to be able to give to them a good life as well, I know I can't repay them enough for all the love and sacrifice, but I want to do my best for them as well. And that's why I keep praying for and working towards ease and stability.

I love my parents, and the respect I have for them is very deep.

Same goes to every parent out there, who are doing their best to keep going and raise their kids. I understand things better now, and I wish that you're in a better position to take care of them.

And to everyone out there who are like me. May things be easy for us, and may we live life comfortably.
