Examining Myself

08|17|2021✨

Hello hello hello read-friends!

-Darius Foroux

It's Tuesday and I have no idea what to write again huhu. I did scrolling and scrolling through the published articles on my homepage and I read a lot of prompts related to knowing ourselves more, what we do when we are drunk and so much more. I have so much leisure reading all of those and realized I haven't drafted anything for today's article.

Check them out. Their articles are all worth your time to read. You will get to know them more and you'll surely learn a bunch from them.

You are the best! Saranghae 💗

I browsed some prompts on Mr. Google and found this: Top 20 QUESTIONS for SELF-AWARENESS

I selected some questions. Let's get it on. If you want to dive in some of these too, just click here.

Let's examine ourselves and get to know ourselves better.

What am I good at?

I am good at faking my feelings. I can smile even I am broken. I can laugh even I am dying.

What am I bad at?

Im bad at taking good care of myself. Im abusing it. But I'm slowly taking care of it now. (baka ma deadooo ako mahirap na)

What makes me tired?

My 4am to 12 nn duty everyday. I feel exhausted sometimes of doing the same routine. It makes me feel that my life sometime is boring. Feel me? But at the end of the day, I still feel blessed for having this job that supports my personal needs and my family.

What is the most important thing in my life?

My cellphone. Char! My not so okay family. They're the major reason why I'm working so hard, very very hard haha. I love them so much. I can't afford to see them struggling because of my failure that is why I always do my best in everything.

How much sleep do I need?

I used to sleep for like 4-5 hours a day. That's whyI look like a zombieeee now haha. But if given a chance to sleep more than that, I would love to sleep at least 8 hrs a day para maka werk werk padin.

What stresses me out?

The first thing that stresses me out is the turtle net every morning. (Nakakasira ng umagaaa bruh!)

The second thing is being worried about a lot of things running inside my head. (It's unstoppable, I can't control myself sometimes to overthink things)

The last thing is family issues. :(

What relaxes me?

Foooodsss ofc haha. Also, a peaceful surrounding relaxes my body and soul.

What’s my definition of success?

Success? Hmm for me it's not only about reaching your goals in life but making yourself proud too that you made it despite all the challenges you've been through.

What type of worker am I?

I am an OT (overtime) warrior. More OT, more money to support my family.

How do I want others to see me?

I want others to see me happy even though I am not. I want to be seen as a strong woman.

What makes me sad?

My bills make me sad hahaha juskoo sana wala ng bills uy. I feel sad sometimes without knowing the reason behind. I dunno why perhaps I am getting crazy and crazier for your charrrrott!

What makes me happy?

Seeing my parents happy. Seeing my strength in life happy gives me so much happiness and inspiration to do more.

What makes me angry?

I get angry easily whenever I am hungry. Who's not? ( oh dina nandamay pa hahaha) It pisses me off also when I know that someone is hurting the person/people I love and value the most.

What type of person do I want to be?

I want to be a successful one that my parents can be proud of.

What do I think about myself?

Before, I think I am a good person to those who are only good to me. But at a later time, I realized that the uglier the personality a person has, the nicer I should be. I should not be quick to judge if the person is good or bad. We've been through a lot in life. I respect people for who they are and what they are.

Did I pass the examination? I wish I did.

Authors message:

Take time to examine yourself. It allows us to know ourselves more and deeper. Moreover, It helps us in appreciating ourselves. We learn to accept the real us without comparing the life we have to someone else. And it gives you a sense of confidence. To be yourself, you have to know yourself.

Thank you for your time read-friends! I appreciate you so much! I am beyond blessed to have you in my life. I thank God for allowing me to get to know you here in the virtual world. Saranghae! God bless us all.
