A B ’s Story

Live a great life despite the fact that life is difficult. Everybody wants to be happy in life.  We all want to live a perfect life. We want that great job or a successful business. We want to be married to Mr. Right or Ms Perfect. We want to have great kids. We want to have friends that stick by us come rain or shine. We want to be able to have all the material things life has to offer and have all our problems just disappear.

Let me tell you a story:

She is 2nd to the youngest among 3 children, all girls. Said she was over exposed and a little aggresive when she was still a teen-ager, that was why she got pregnant before she turned 18. She continued her schooling while taking care of her baby boy. She chose the night shift to avoid the intrigue brought by her being a teenage and single mother. She graduated after 5 years and eventually got married to the father of her son. A year after their 2nd son was born, they separated.

Said she was already feeling it and knew what was coming. Her husband walk away from her to chose to be with their common friend. This common friend was the one who introduced to her to her husband. The husband and the common friend had a child and after a few years, she learned that they also separated. The common friend after so many years that she prefers another girl, she is a lesbian and she is now living with her partner together with her child.

Back to my subject, after 3 years, she also found her partner 10 years her junior. They had 2 children, another boy and a girl. They are now living happily, and trying to meet the ends. She is a banker while her partner is driving their own colorum FX plying from Malabon to Manila and vise versa. It is only one trip to Manila in the morning and also one trip to Malabon in the afternoon. In between, her partner is the one taking care of their home and children, although they have a housemaid.

She still has a naughty side. She would tell me that she is a little depressed. Her sexlife is on its downhill sometimes and I wouldnt know what to say except that maybe they have many things in mind that time. She confessed that she feels that its her hottest at this time of her life and her partner is on the other hand on its downtime because his mind wants it but his body no longer act on it. We just laughed it off.

She has led a very colorful life. Her parents also separated when she was in high school. Her mother never got married and her father is now abroad with his own family. She has now has a stepbrother with the same age as her eldest son. Her parents still friends and they constantly keeping their communications. Her father also regularly helping them out especially on the schooling of her children.

That is one of the beautiful things about life. You can make your life better. You have total  responsibility for what you do and how you respond to the fact that life is hard. As the now cliché saying goes: “If life hands you lemons, make lemonade.”
