KOKMIK SERIES S(2) Episode (2)
Added 2024-02-04 00:57:45 +0000 UTCI just realized this last year when Vin and I were living together. Growing up, my parents worked abroad, and we used to receive extra allowance from them. I'm not great at handling money, but I know how to save. When friends or cousins borrow money from me, I lend it to them, and sometimes I can't get it back because I know they don't have the means to pay, or even if they do, I know they'll struggle. I also love to bring "Pasalubong" or snacks whenever I come home from school. All my extra allowance and money I earned from drawing went to food, & to people I care about. I don't go out much, and I wear comfortable clothes when I'm with my friends. One day, I saw my old pictures with them, and it struck me. I realized I hadn't taken care of myself or my personal needs like buying new clothes, shoes, slippers, and bags. I used to buy them when the new school year started. Well things have changed since I lived with Vin, and I've learned more about money and taking care of myself. Vin taught me to say "No" to people, and though it's still a bit hard, I feel like I'm getting better. Now, I'm trying to prioritize myself when I have money because I got used to always giving to others and having nothing left for myself.
