When Reality Takes Over

Last night at about past midnight, Joseph, my ex-boyfriend from London called. I was actually waiting for that call for a few weeks now because he just had an accident recently and I wanted to know how he's been. Because he started to go back to work again just a few days after the accident.
Anyways, I knew that from the tone of his voice he didn't sound that well. Then I started asking why is he so quiet and he seems so cold. I felt that he didn't want to talk about it at first because he was just giving me short details about what has been happening to him lately. Then he started really telling me how he has been, all the pressures from his work has made him stressed for this past few weeks.
He is now working at a coffee shop owned by a Filipino in Upton Park, London. And lately, his co-workers which are also Filipino hasn't been participating well with him, giving him all the jobs and not paying him well. Then everytime that a customer complains he is the one that has to take it. After an hour and thirteen minutes of talking. I came to realize how life gets even worse when you're in the real world.
And me, I worry about the simple things that I could actually live without, when a friend constanly complain on how he will live off the salary that he gets. I worry about the next location of a gig or when will I see and have fun with my friends or how will I survive a day without being bored. When someone is actually worrying about keeping his patience and survive the day trying to forget that he is not being paid well after an 8hrs shift.
After last night, I realized how lucky I was considering the fact that I can do whatever I like and want without having to worry about anything else. So when you face a tough experience, remember that life can be tougher than that. Be thankful that it isn't the worst that it can be. Reality can even get nastier than that.

I guess you are indeed lucky.
siguro i can consider myself lucky din. i think i should open up my mind that in the future , i'll be dealing with life stresses independently.
I hope okay na si ex mo. Hmm.
Me too. I think I'm really lucky. They gave me all I needed then nagco-complain pa din ako. Bad me. :(
