It’s been awhile since I’ve shared my thoughts with the audience of flipnomad.com. It has been a pretty tight month to begin with. I just started my job last April, and I’ve been staying in the office for long hours to get my job done.
I’m not ranting nor raving about anything. I just want to share my thoughts with fellow travellers who are reading my blog.
I’m grateful that I have a job. I’m happy that I earn some money every month and I could pay for some stuff that needs to be paid. But at the same time, there’s a part of me that feels like I’m a dog on a leash.
Is it because I’ve experienced freedom for a short time and now I’m craving for it? Is it because I got exposed to some things in the world that’s more important than making an office document? Is it because I met great people who don’t worry their life away and I miss having great conversations with them?
I know the answers why I feel like I’m on a leash… the road is calling me back. But I have to stay put, well at least for a while. My reality is different from other travellers. I support my immediate family other than myself.
I have to find a perfect compromise in living the life I want and being a responsible provider for my family. I need to start revisiting my priorities, the way I spend my time and resources, to make sure that I don’t waste every single part of it.
I’ve decided to take full ownership of this life.

I know how that feels like. "A perfect compromise" isn't impossible, it may just take some time to find it.
unleash Flip!
i used to be a semi-breadwinner but after my youngest brother graduated, sabe ko, enjoy ko naman ang sarili kong pera,that's when i started traveling.
but lately i realized,i'm sorta floating, i guess it comes w/ the age! lol i cnt leave my job yet, i still hve this huge fear of leaving my comfort zone,still too scared to risk i guess but i sure hope one day i can quit my job and be my own boss. and this post reminds me na kelangan ko na mag-save tlga at bawasan na muna ang lakwatsa so i can be financially stable so i'd be able to travel more! thnx Pliff! 
@anonymous: may we all find that perfect compromise
@gael: yup! save some and then free ourselves hehehe
take control
i will.
