finding yourself can be greater. I just noticed that there are so many people here looking for love and I'm not judging them. If any, gulat ako to learn that reddit can be an avenue for that. I'm a newbie here and as I've said in one of my comments sa r/trentahin I came to reddit for research. There are so many things to explore and what I love the most is how you can express yourself without the need to filter pero while I genuinely wish everyone to find their person here, sana we can also find new friends, like minded people who can journey with you regardless kung nasaang phase ka ng buhay mo. Getting into a relationship na feeling incomplete ka pa sa sarili mo is a recipe for disaster because it creates a yearning that can end very badly.

If I become one those reddit love stories, great pero kung wala sya dito, ok lang din. I just want to enjoy this and meet like minded people who can also be my real life friends. Like minded people na hindi lang ung puro lovelife ang center ng universe kundi people who wants to better themselves by taking it to the next level - goal oriented na actively nagiisip and nagi-take action sa kung ano pa ba ung pwedeng gawin para mas masaya at fulfilling ang buhay habang wala pa ung "the one" mo/natin. I'm in my 30s and trentahin people are damn pagod na with shadows and excuses. Reddit bffs can also be a great thing too, sobrang bonus na lang talaga yung reddit love story.

Ako, when I hear passenger seat by Stephen Speaks ♥︎ ang hirap hindi mapangiti ng song na to. this song is never growing old. ✨

Wala lang I just want to share that I got my haircut today hahaha does anyone here does that too when they want to start over? Well, for what it's worth ang saya lang and ang gaan sa feeling✨ So whatever you are going through, AJA!! Fighting :) Second half of the year is here. GO GO GO 🚘

Hindi nya alam na i’m starting to like him kaya kailangan kong prumeno muna 

Hindi nya alam na hinihintay ko lang naman sya

Hindi nya alam na test lang yun

Hindi nya alam na sobra akong nag-eenjoy sa conversations namin

Na na-appreciate ko lahat ng pag-uupdate nya kahit sobrang non-chalant ako

Hindi nya alam kung pano ako nasaktan dati

Hindi nya alam kung bakit sobrang guarded ako

To be fair, hindi ko din alam kung pano sya nasaktan dati

Kung okay na ba talaga sya kaya ganon sya kabilis kumilos

Hindi na kami umabot don

Hindi nya na malalaman ung impact nya sakin, doon sa onting araw na nagka-chat kami 

Hindi ko na rin malalaman kung magkakatuluyan pa sana kami

Hindi nya na malalaman

Hindi ko na rin malalaman

Hindi ko kasi sinabi

Hindi na kasi sya nakapagtanong 

Walang may mali samin siguro

Baka sadyang ganon lang talaga

Hindi na namin malalaman kung right person, wrong timing ba

Ang sure lang

Almost right person, wrong pacing. 

Red string theory.

If it’s meant to be, it will be. 

Hi SDE! Haha Minsan, nakaka-miss to say good morning sayo but I don’t want to miss that anymore. 

It’s 5AM dito and probably after midnight jan. I value my tulog more, alam mo yan but the past few days, ang hirap matulog. At least sure ako na tina-try kong di ka isipin pero just in case lang naman iniisip mo ko hahaha men magpatulog ka naman! 

We both have a way to reach out to one another pero none of us is making effort, so I guess this is it? 

I see you’ve resumed your side quests and search ops. No holds barred. Carry on. Maybe in one of your pursuits, you’ll find her. Or maybe you’ll think of me. Dunno

As for me, well, God knows how stubborn I am and how I’m saving my heart for the person He made for me. So I told him na if it’s not you, if all that was was a teaser for nothing then paki resume na po yung peace of mind I had before you. 

Isaiah 60:22, Psalm 37:7 ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

I’ve so much more to say, but then what was it you said again? “Ang dami ko pang paligoy paligoy”. Hahaha kainis SDE, kainis (¬_¬")

Legit, I thrive on details but I guess you prefer summaries. 

Aren’t you a little impatient? Haha

Anyway, it’s just me putting it out here. You may see this. You may not. 

Red String Theory ngani. 

But there. Thank you SDE. I’m now going forward with my days.

May you be blessed.

If you are one of those lucky people who are able to do the job they love at the terms they want, how were you able to do that?

Outright no ba kaagad if it doesn't align with the terms you have in mind?

How did you know na 'this is it' of all the offers you got?

And how did you handle the negotiation part?

Luck is a loose term, I know. Sobrang big blessing to be able to work at job with all the box ticked. But we all know, that the effort it takes to acquire that is no easy feat.

Thank you sa mga sasagot. Share your tips! More blessings to everyone. ✨

Lahat naman siguro tayo may goal nung nagstart ung taon. O baka nga goals pa yan nung mga previous years? Kumusta na? Lapit na bang ma-achieve? Sisimulan pa lang? O mejo stuck at this point?

Do you see yourself pursuing it pa kahit kalahati na ng taon?

And sa mga strong independent trentahin people, kaya pa ba? or baka time na para I-try ung may accountability partner?

At sa mga natry yung may accountability partner, worth it ba o mas better na solohin mo na lang I-track ang progress mo?

Share your thoughts and wins and your true feelings.

ako lang ba to or do you also find it parang impossible na to have that kind of encounter sa mundo? I mean, nung nag shift ang mundo to digital, pati pag date naging online. nung nag pandemic, lahat ng tao nasa bahay lang. nung nag-end ang pandemic, busy lahat mag work at bumawi with their finances. the wfh set up makes you tethered sa bahay nyo and ang weird na makihalubilo sa tao.

paano tayo mahahanap ng "love" na yan kung parang it seems out of grasp?

girls lang ba nagiisip nito or even guys din?

should I blame all the books I've read for wanting this kind of encounter? minsan nakakainis na ung mga kdrama, tipong gahhhh it only happens in the movies blah blah

am I the only trentahin who feels this way?

share your experience naman or love stories. what age did you meet and where and how did it go?

Mas ginanahan ka bang tumuloy or bumalik ka na lang sa paigiging employee? Ano ung stand out lesson na tinuro sayo and if you can start over, what will you do?

I have so many ideas pero lahat sila tengga in my mind. Until maya maya I'll see someone doing the business na naisip ko.

And since online business is growing fast, ung businesses ba with physical store ay worth it pa ba? Please answer from the pov of a business owner.

Did the break do you good? Nagkaron ba ng direction ung life nyo? Mas luminaw ba ung purpose ng buhay mo? What did you do doon sa mga "lost days" na feeling mo baka sinayang mo lang ung oras mo?

For context: I'm 34/F. I left my stressful job because the mental stress took a toll on my body. I just know that if I push to continue, I will persevere till the end pero at the cost of my sanity and life.

Hindi uso sa Pilipinas ang magpahinga. Trabaho lagi, walang gap year gap year dito. walang paid sabbatical. ang hiatus ay pang artista lang.

When pandemic hit, I realized how much nasa maling field ako. Pero what can I do?

The break I took is intentional and tunay namang it allowed me to recover but going back out there, I now I don't want to but I have to. My people skills are rusty. My skill set hasn't been updated. I'm not interested in the old ways of working anymore.

I was born in the 90s and I was surprised na nagi-exist pa pala to ngayon. Last I remember, elementary pa yata ako huling nakatanggap ng letter. Usually galing sa daddy ko kasi galing overseas. Pero you know, the thrill of receiving a letter is not lost on me. Dun nga din yata nag-ugat yung love ko for cards, stationaries at mga ballpen.

Pero recently, this snail mail club thing has become a trend. Ewan ko kung phase lang ba to but seeing na there are a lot of them in existence, I wonder if this is something na bet din na mga ka-edad ko?

From what I see, they send a letter, a postcard and some stickers. Pero as a trentahin, what will make you look forward to a mailed letter?

Ako personally, I love the letter (syempre this is where the chikahan happens) and to actually receive a postcard will be cool. But kayo ba? How do you find this snail mail thing? And is there something in particular na you would rather receive than what is currently being sent?

What made you join them? Ganda ba ng art nya? or could it be nakaka-excite to receive something from the mail na hindi bills? If you have a say sa inclusion ng mail, ano isasama mo?

Please feel free to answer.

Remember when we were kids, need pa natin pilitin yung mga magulang natin na ibili tayo ng ganito ganyan but money was so tight back then hanggang hiram ka na lang sa kalaro mo or kaklase mo or sometimes, ibibili ka naman pero dapat lahat ng grades mo e 90 pataas. HAHA
