of being independent...

What's good about living all by your self is....


When i was young, i was so afraid of living the house without my parents. I was also afraid of going somewhere without them accompanying me. Maybe because i was used to it. I have 3 siblings, i am the second of the four. I am the eldest son. I got my name from my father. But later in college I shortened it to three letter name. "Rey"....

But my friends used to call me "Belen" before. It's my last name. Sick and tired of it, I decided to make use of my new name... "Rey"...

But at home, most of them call me "Sir", because i am a teacher. I get use to it already. Sometimes they would call me "Sir Rey"... nice name...

But anyway, going back to my title... "of being independent".... Nowadays, people would have their own place to live, especially those who can afford to. Living alone and away from their family was never a problem with them.

time would really come that you have to do this. When i started working, i decided to live with my friends in a small boarding house. Trying to be independent, without realizing the great responsibility it would cause me. It was hard at first, but later on, i was beginning to enjoy it. I have this feeling of freedom... liberty... independence...

I developed the sense of responsibility. Because i am alone, i could whatever i want. I could go to places without asking permission from my parents. I make decisions for my self.Independence it is... It's good to be free... But i have to be responsible with everything. In every good or bad action there's always a consequence. It acme to a point that i made the wrong decision. It haunted me. I was so wrong that even my work was affected. I kept it to myself. I have to solve it alone. I took me more than a year to recover. Whew!!! good thing i was able to correct everything.

Being independent isn't always fun. It's not about fun. It is like having a great power with a great responsibility. You have to be good with whatever you do, there's no room for mistakes. But it's inevitable, that is why you have to be prepared, always... Be sure to resolve everything before it become worst...

You better think not only twice but hundred times... Good luck!!!
