Life is one big rollercoaster ride full of unexpected turns. But the silver lining? More often than not, it all works out in the end, making you say, “buti na lang!”  Just take it from these Pinoy Redditors:

Child-free and happy

In this economy, being child-free can be a blessing. After all, parenthood is all about never-ending responsibilities — no life coach or crash course could prepare you for it. Parenthood isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay.

Just keep going

When life throws one curveball after the other, it’s easy to get blinded by negativity or stress. As much as we all despise dealing with the growing pains of adulthood, it won’t hurt to reflect on the things you’ve fiercely conquered. Just like what the adage says: “Malayo pa, pero malayo na.”

Working from home is the key

The COVID-19 pandemic might have been a tough ride for many, but it has opened the doors for more flexible working conditions like working from home. While many companies have gone RTO, it’s nice to know that some employees still have the luxury to work minus the hassle of braving the everyday commute.

Job to job

Job hopping may often get a bad rap, but it can be a huge career booster if you do it right. (But let’s preface this by saying that job-hopping more than five times a year is a surefire way to raise the eyebrows of job recruiters.) All we’re saying is, if a good opportunity is knocking at your door, grab it!

The art of eliminating toxicity

Any form of toxicity doesn’t deserve a place in your life. It might take a while to cut off toxic people or situations, but once you do, it’s the best feeling in the world.

Changing the course

In the PH, academic credentials are ridiculously valued over skills by most companies. Even choosing your program feels like a make-or-break moment. As much as we recognize the value of in-demand jobs, there’s an undeniable satisfaction in following your genuine passion through your chosen program.

Diversion is the solution

When your habits become unhealthy, getting the willpower to change isn’t easy. So, how do you go about it? Getting a hobby — the healthier, the better.

S is for saving money

With some people only living from paycheck to paycheck, being able to save money is a luxury that you shouldn’t take for granted. No matter how big or small, you’re gonna thank yourself later for putting whatever’s left in your budget into your savings fund. Doesn’t it feel good to buy something out of your pocket?
