Am I a failure?

Sometimes my very own relatives make me feel like an epic failure! Most keep on asking why I now stay at home only. Why I wasn’t working anymore. My dad, my siblings and I keep on telling them that I am actually working at home. Then they would ask what I’m doing. I would tell them that I am writing.

I don’t mention blogging because most people I encounter don’t know what blogging is. I don’t have the patience to explain it in detail. Writing is the best work description I can give them.

And then the look that clearly says FAILURE would emerge on their faces!

I keep telling myself it doesn’t matter, they don’t know anyway. It gets old. But it got to the point that instead of just brushing it off, I get so annoyed by it already! Working at home is not something I took on because I failed in my field of expertise. If you don’t know it yet, I am an accountant by profession. I was, by the way. I still practice it from time to time but it’s not my bread and butter anymore. Writing is. Blogging, I mean.

Maybe, one of these days, I will explain to them what blogging is and how I am earning the same, if not more than the, amount of money as some OFWs do. Maybe.
