Balance. Edging.
It's not easy to balance all the relationships in one's life.
Family. Friends. Colleagues. Him.
I like having my life packed and surrounded by people.
But sometimes (if not most of the time), one circle of my life will complain about me not spending time with them. In fact, it will happen almost every week.
One fine example, I went out with Ellis last night after work. Man, we had a great time. Shopping for makeup and socks. Fluttering from shop to shop. And never stop talking from whatever that comes to our minds. Basically, its like verbal diarhoerra, which females love so much. (ok, that sounds gross)
Reached home at slightly after 10pm. (and i actually had macdonald's takeaways for my lil darlings.) But those 2 were asleep when im home. As i laid the mac on the table, my mom was like "If you wanna buy for others, you should have like come home earlier. If not why bother to buy. They still have school tml, you know." ... Oh Well. *Sighhhh...*
Her face darkened when i told her i may be watching a movie with my colleagues tonight. (28 weeks later!!!! :D)
She spat something like: "Why do you always think of yourself? Cant you spare a thought for the shop?"
Man, i have to work from Mon to Fri. (I think this is the most enjoyable part of my life. I can totally understand why some workaholics can practically live in their offices. Given a choice, i dont mind bringing my pillow to work if they allow me to do so)
Saturdays are private times for me and him. Trying to squeeze some time for my bevy of babes.
Sundays are the days to stay in the shop if i dont want my ears to be blasted 24/7 for the coming week. (Why cant you spare a thought for your family?!) *Groans..
So im left with evenings of Mon-Fri and Sat early mornings for myself. I think i need to have that dose Sat early mornings for my morning runs if i still wanna retain my sanity. And i think i need to spend at least 3 evenings at home, if im still interested in scoring brownie points with my folks. ( Sometimes, i really cant wait to have my own little adobe. Something cosy and efficient. Somewhere to rest my ears and mind)
At the same time, im trying to connect with my colleagues for an even more enjoyable working experience.
I love spending time with all circles of my life. Man, i cant do without them in fact. Sadly, it is only utmost enjoyed (by both parties) if i dont intersect the circles. Spending times with your loved ones. They are ALL my loved ones. How do i spend quality time with ALL of them?
I have a feeling i may just throw in the towel.
