Sapatoserye Gugma edition. High heels pila ka adlaw pero karon kay sapatos na flat. Daghang nangutana kun di ba sakit sa sapatos nga taas kaayo ug heels. Mura man nig estado sa gugma sa akong mga nastorya karong semanaha. Gugmang kapoy, makamaoy, apan sa kaugalingon di maluoy. Gugmang utang buot, grabe ka huot apan gusto gayud mo lusot. Gugmang wala na’y ayo apan kaniya kuno makaayo.Hinigugma niyang medyo maot, nakahatag kaniya ug alaot apan ingon sya nako, “wala’y magbuot!” Maong ikaw nga nag tan-aw, aww kutob nalang Ka sa paglantaw, kutob ka nalang sa hagawhaw, dili pwde mag yawyaw.

I don’t go manic, panic and frantic on a Monday. I go, fight, win with my red stiletto shoes! (Thank you Daryl Oaminal sa sapatos nga pwerteng taasa.)
Hurried children and adults dancing as fast as they can. This seems to be a century where we have combined enlightenment, reason, progress and anxiety. Each one seems to have found the light, yet, we sometimes feel that we are in the dark of what the future may bring. Progressed, yet the quality of life is questioned. Internet that is supposed to connect people, yet have caused disconnectedness. Hurried children. Literally, hurried. With barely enough sleep, they wake up so early to beat the traffic and reach their school on time. School performance tasks aimed to prepare them for life, yet, with exhaustion and anxiety, you wonder if they still have time to be children. Toddlers taught how to read sentences when their peripheral vision isn't ready for such. Tweens wearing skimpy clothes, high heels, in a relationship, sometimes complicated. We have adults dancing as fast as they can. With the demands of the roles they play, managing and exceeding expectations whether from self or others, they seem to dance as fast as they can, to get over it, or to go to the next dance. Anxious, exhausted, just like the hurried children. (Salamat Daryl Oaminal sa nindot na sapatos.) Texts and photos are not mine. Credits goes to the author with her permission.

There were so many things in my youth that worried me. Only to realize later on that those were unimportant. Comparing grades, gadgets, shoes, clothes with classmates and friends. Terror teachers, anxious bosses, angry clients, envious colleagues. The list goes on and on. Thanks to age and aging gracefully. There is no need to compare lives with others. When I see people happy and successful, I'm happy too. When I see people struggling, I try to help in my own little way if I can and I say a prayer for them too. With aging, it's a realization that there are times that my circumstances are better than others, sometimes others are better in circumstances. But that's what life is all about. It's a journey. It never should be a contest. Life now is not just about school, workplace, home, and community, we have our virtual world. Sometimes these social networking sites are made as the venue to compare, evaluate, judge, ridicule the lives of people. This is our extended world, the Facebook. Facebook should never be a contest. Facebook is a venue for family and friends to connect, to offer our words of encouragement and inspiration, to celebrate the victory and joys of oneself and others. Let's connect, inspire and celebrate!
