last night, my girlfriend texted and asked for relief goods for her aunts and cousins who were affected by the earthquake. i am at the point in my life where every centavo counts. i am sort of struggling financially right now. but i replied that i couldn't give cash, i would just give in kind. i was internally debating because i still have several obligations to fulfill but i realized that my problems were trivial compared to the victims.
as luck would have it, the bf gave me money today. he was able to collect payment and it was deposited in my account. i had to deposit the money to his account in another bank since he had to go out of town on business. he shared some of his earnings with me, for which i am really grateful for. i was able to purchase noodles, sardines, soap and milk. i took it to my girlfriend's house and she even asked me to go with them to the town. my gf said i bought too much and i jokingly retorted that i would take some back with me.
i am quite happy to have shared some of my blessings. i know it's merely a fraction of what they need but at least i was able to give. it's so much better to be the giver than to be the recipient.
