One of the best thing I would photograph are the cloud formations here in my country because we get to enjoy sunshine all year 'round with skies that have fluffy clouds and that pleasant blue atmosphere background. The brightness of the days is causing this happy mental disposition for the people who lives down below it which is why even if we live in a country without much resources and nit much opportunity to get a job decent enough to raise a family easy, the attitude of the people is still like contented and yes, cheery. I live in an archipelago, a group of islands as one country with different dialects as if you live in a different country if you would hope from one big island to the next. There is indeed a local language barrier but most of the dialect speakers can also speak the main language which is Tagalog or Filipino in "formal" terms and any other dialects is a dialect of the Filipino language.

But we have a similar mental state which is being happy all the time despite that almost all are struggling economically but we are at least getting by because my country's economy is supported basically by the dollar remittances of the overseas workers which is numbering my the millions already. The dollar is what keeps my country's economy afloat and I said this numerous times already which is why the blood, sweat, and tears by the overseas workers is helping us all here, they are like a crude oil resource of my country but one phenomenon happens because of and that is "brain drain".

A brain drain happens when a professional would leave the country and work abroad and thereby making their own country diminish professionals which can contribute progress but due to the lack of opportunities here, they would tend to work elsewhere and look for a "greener pasture" so that they can be able to earn substantial amount of money for their needs and their future either if they are married or would stay single, they just have to do it or else nothing much will happen to their lives because money cannot get be plucked from trees although in the world of crypto it can happen, you just have to look around and find out.

Most of the students who are striving to get a degree here in my country already have a plan in mind to work abroad because of the aforementioned reasons, some would work as a ship crew, nurses which are handsomely paid abroad, so much so that even doctors here will leave the country and work abroad as a nurse although they have to go to nursing school in their target country so that they can work there as a nurse which again would yield them a better pay if they will be able to pull it off and this just requires time, motivation, and of course extra money before they can be able to achieve their target earnings. For nurses with big credentials, they really get too rich when they convert their dollars into our local currency even in just couple or even one year of working as a nurse abroad. It is a great thing again for my country's economy because there are many overseas workers like these healthcare workers abroad and they all help the economy of my country. However, these best nurses unfortunately will in turn not to get to service their local compatriots and that also affects the patients in one way or the other because the need for an experienced nurse is diminished.

You cannot blame the overseas workers for leaving and sacrificing many things like being to always be with their families, fighting homesickness, loneliness, and not coping with other people with different language and culture for an exchange of raising their families that live here. The only ones that can take their family members abroad are the professionals which earns a substantial amount of money and are prepared to live the country for good because some of them already decided that decision while other workers have to be absent for a long time and miss the important occasions where at some point would cause a feeling of estrangement between the parent and the child because the child already lost that important and crucial emotional connection to their parent and the same with the parent against the child like what happened to us siblings to our father because he left to work so early abroad in the span of ten years or so while we are just growing up and it has been stuck as a problem because our father is not that close to us compared to out mother.

Well, anyway at least if you live under a bright sky, it deters you on being depressed in contrast with getting depressed with the sky is sad and always overcast. But the pursuit of happiness is still there for almost everyone of us, some of us are already experiencing it while for many others it is not yet in their agenda but will soon realize that they have to also struggle because all odds are against us and only the ones that can be ale to cope are the ones that already planned it before and are now harvesting the "fruit of their loom."
