Most of the time. I get a bad case of the envies while endlessly scrolling on Facebook or Instagram seemingly looking for something to complete my day. I see a lot of my friends working their way in the corporate ladder while managing to start their own families at the same time. While I'm just here, still trying to figure out what to do in the next 5 minutes. I see them buying houses, cars and diapers to name a few! I mean, when did we become such adults for us to be buying diapers??? Really?! My heart sort of sinks a little while questioning my goals in life, as if I haven't been working enough to actually enjoy all the nice things in life.
But then again I remember an advice that a wise friend told me some years ago. Everything you see in social media is filtered. Not just the photos, but more importantly, the content. If that friend you're envious with had a fight with his/her partner, would they post it in social media? I don't think so. Most of the things we see either on Facebook or Instagram are most likely the happy parts of one's life. Because, who would want to visit a feed that full of negativity? Uhm, no one. It's not rocket science, really. But sometimes, it gets to me. Which is why I've been trying to social media nowadays. Lately I've been a frequent visitor of TedX (for my classes), EDx (for free learning), Zalora (for shopping! Hihi) and #Property24. I'm pretty sure you're all familiar with the first 3 sites that I've mentioned, so let's talk more about Property24.
Ever since I was a kid, it has been my dream to have my own house--just like Barbie, lol. Growing up, I thought I only had to work and things will eventually fall into place. But boy was I wrong. Being an adult (naks!), I've now come to realize that it takes more than hard work to be able to buy your own property. It takes commitment, dedication and the right amount of research too. A good reason why I've been frequenting #Propery24PH. The site is a platform that offers and extensive list of real estate properties complete with various financing options (very important!) you can choose from. I know I cannot afford any of the properties on my list yet, but it keeps me inspired. Let's see them!
