Entirely Different for this Potato *warning: long post*

So ahm, Hi.

Been online always but never got to update in forever. Sorry. I was busy, and I get sick every freaking weekend and I don't even know why.

Since 2015 started, I was flooded with different challenges in work and at home.

At home, I made up with the entire family before Christmas Day and it was kinda awkward after that but we're improving. Well, mom and I got into an argument and she somewhat lost against me and she couldn't take it so we kinda not talked to each other.

Not to sound arrogant or something, but I'm so tired of arguing with her and being the first one to ever say sorry even if I am the one offended. 2014 turned me into something cynical creature so I made up my mind that I'd see things in black and white. Well, she admitted that she needed me (being the first born, I have the most shares when it comes to budget). I have expressed the want to move out from our house, making it the catalyst (I think) that it was so wrong to argue with me. I knew it. I was only here to be the financier or something like that--that was the fact that I accepted long time ago when I started working,

At work, since I'm the 'new' and 'rookie' supervisor, pressure has been building up. You could say that I am some sort of Leader -Maknae, being the second youngest at the group yet I am their leader. Having people reporting directly to you about 10-5 years older than you is somewhat tiring, as they would not easily follow your orders not until you prove your worth, not until they see that your on a different level, and most specially not until they realize that you are the boss.

Ughh, seriously. What's with their pride? What's wrong with following someone younger? Truthfully, I'd rather work alone.

What's good is that my boss trusts me so much that I wouldn't dare breaking that. That's what keeps me going.

After five days of pushing my brain and energy at work for five days, I can't even lift a finger during Saturdays. I don't usually sleep that much during weekdays, I would be lucky if I'd get to sleep at least 5 to 6 hours. Sundays are tiring too, since mom requests a lot of things to be done. Weekends last February was weird--I often get migraines and my eyesight is worse. Just wow.

On a lighter note, I realized just recently that I'd be celebrating my 4th year here at AFF. *throws confetti* No words could express how happy I am through all these years. I really appreciate my subscribers who took time to read my writing and commenting on it--and even upvoting! :)

These things reminds me of one thing that every year happens. Well, I'm getting old. Turning 25, Potato and Still a potato. :P

Turning 30 and still a potato. It's hard to be in the leader position and having members of your team or workers reporting to you who are older than you. I have to turn off my inner demon and curse only in my head because sometimes they pretend to listen to you and still do the same thing.
I hope things work out with your mom. I used to think my mom was always out to get me and she was always on my case. But when I turned 25 I realized that most of the time I was just being too critical. Family is important and as a first born I also worry about my future because it comes with extra responsibilities. T_T

Oh dear. Lacking sleep and stress tends to make you fall ill (I can relate with that). People will come around. Don't let them get to you. Whaaat. I thought we are of the same age~ Aaaand I want you to know that you're a cute potato. :D
