It’s red, super sleek, soft to the touch and has a movable camera and most of all, it’s brand new---it’s the phone I’ve always dreamed of having and it’s finally mine! Plus, it came from my Uncle who puts others happiness before his own, who wouldn’t mind if there was none left for himself as long as the people he cares for are happy. So you could imagine how delighted I was…….and how it PAINED me to let it go when I wasn’t even able to have it for a whole day.
You might think that “hey if you liked it that much, then why give it away??? Stupid!.” But I wasn’t giving it to just anyone, but to my mother, my mother who had thought of others before her own (I think it runs in their side of the family..haha) Trust me, it was a very hard thing to even just suggest to her that it was FINE by me if she could have it (y face was telling otherwise -.-) Tears would slowly form in my eyes everytime I remembered the reasons how much I loved IT(no exaggerations here!).
For the long ride home, I’ve been weighing the reasons why I should or shouldn’t give it over. Then after much reflecting…It dawned on me….How materialistic I have become lately, when in the end, all these THINGS would eventually equal to nothing. Yes, I was guilty of sourgraping from time to time but another epiphany came over me….
I was always on the receiving end! For the past few years, I’ve received more than I could imagine from the people in my life. And in return, I had nothing to show for. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to, but because I couldn’t. It was either that I didn’t have the time or the money for it L
Now, if receiving things would be make me so happy..I wonder how much more if I’d be able to give to the people around me? I bet I could just die! LOL…
So maybe giving up THE cellphone for my mom who would actually need it…Might just be what would make me happy ^^,
