The picture is taken in 2019 but by that time we do not live there anymore. We live with my mother in law just a kilometres away from this one.
In 2018, (excluding the years before that) we once live in a small wooden house. It belongs to my late father in law. It was the only house there before my sister in law builds her new house just right beside the old house but she does not live there. We are just watching the new house for her. I have no complaint regarding the wooden house except that it is located way too far from my workplace.
I insisted on taking a personal loan from the bank to build a new house which is nearer to my workplace because we already have our little girl in 2018, I hope that she could live in a better house. Plus, I hope to have more time at home than on the road. It was a daring choice to take another loan at that time. I force myself into it just to have my goal realized. It is worth the action but then I failed to manage my loan payment since the Covid-19 started. (I already write about this previously so I will not elaborate more)
Everything is alright now. The struggle is still there but then I am managing. I have seen the tur e form of a bank loan and credit card centre after I failed to make my monthly payment. It has been a scary, stressful and annoying situation knowing that I am not given many options.
These experiences taught me to be grateful for all the things that happen to me. Who knows that help can come from a faraway country through a friend that I knew from steemit. Therefore looking back, I am glad that I took the step to register into the Steemit platform around 3 years ago and continue to Hive after that.
In another 10 more years hopefully, shorter, I will be free of all debts. It is good to be free from debts. Within these 10 years, I am planning to have crypto savings in Nexo as much as possible or it could be a better investment plan in the future.
I cannot predict the future. The only things I can do is my best to accomplish all my goals with the main purpose, I will not let my children suffer as I did. I too want them to learn to be grateful even for the smallest things that happen in their life. I might not be there with them in the future but I know God will.
As I have written before, a friend wrote a song for a competition, and that song touches me deep inside because of this. If you have not heard of the song, below is the link. It is a song in the Malay language. I translated it with the help of a Google translator. I hope you enjoy it.
Color Your Life by Couspira Begons
When you thought that life is hard
Ask yourself why is it so difficult?
When you thought that life is hard
Ask yourself why is it so difficult?
Maybe you feel like someone else's life
Are better than the one you have
Maybe you thought as if it is unnecessary
Like life has no meaning
Trust me, everyone feels the same
Squeezed in the joys and sorrows of life
There must be something we really want
But we can't afford to have it
But if we are sad about this
It will continue to steal away our happiness
Let it all go dear friend let it go
Just follow the flow to where it goes
Look at what you have now
Start colouring your life with it
Learn to be grateful for all the sustenance
No matter how small it is in your life
You must find your smile in your wholehearted acceptance
Which you probably never realized all this time
That's what you need and you'll find it
Your happiness in them
When you accepted their lack
If you accepted us as we are
Let it all go dear friend let it go
Just follow the flow to where it goes
Look at what you have now
Start colouring your life with it
Let it all go dear friend let it go
Just follow the flow to where it goes
Look at what you have now
Start colouring your life with it
Learn to be grateful for all the sustenance
No matter how small in your life

I agree. I started knowing cryptocurrency from Steemit. I have the courage to explore is also because of Steemit. I am glad I did not reject the platform when it is first introduced to me.
