The Health Benefits Jumping Rope Offers to Our Bodies I have been doing jump rope not long enough, though. Probably a month or two and during my early days, it was just out of a habit or my substitute for doing static stretching I do in the morning. I felt like I wanna do something that involves my body in one routine in general and I believe I found the answer for that. It started out as an idea or a hobby and I was not consistent at it because I forget sometimes and I…

Have You Ever Been Gaslighted? Well, For Sure You've Been **Gaslighting** *(verb)*. is a form of psychological manipulation by which a person controls another person to question their own sanity. **Emotional abuse**, to be exact.

I Never Knew Adulting Was Hard Until I Became One **Adulting**, if I may define it from my perspective, is a major phase in a person's life that involve a series of choices one makes every day.

June 12, 2020: The Day I Landed to Read.cash June 12, 2020 - the day I signed up to read.cash. I never thought June 12 would turn out monumental for me. For Filipinos, it's the date we celebrate for independence but to me, this is extra special because I found my refuge and life redirection through this platform. I must say, refuge and life redirection are both an understatement. This became my home and my intention first was to earn money. I guess everyone shares the same…

For today's article, I'm gonna share with you the journey of us behind the…
Let Me Ask You, Do You Even Truly Care For Me? “***Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know***” – Ernest Hemingway My pal Gifter is one of the most brilliant guys I’ve ever encountered. But during these past 5 months of our companionship, I never saw any sign of loneliness in him. Could it be that Mr. Hemingway is wrong in that quote? Or could it be that maybe Gifter isn’t very smart after all? Gifter is typically a “happy-sunny” person according to my…
How Do I Move On From This Break-up? **"Now I finally know what a heartbreak feels like".** So how do I even start with this one? I can't exactly describe the emotions I feel right now.

Weeks or months before I finally decided to give up, I have been so bothered by how the relationship was going. It wasn't the…

Because seriously, I think I should really put an end to those days when I’m kinda lazy as a writer. I am now setting my mood back to business. It is still quite a situation I face every day but I don't let myself consume by it throughout the day. So for the past few days, I’m really working hard to push through the limits of my writing prowess, to publish…
