REALationship The more I grow old, the more I realize that life isn't worth living with the people with no intention of getting REAL with me. Relationship isn't just about between a man and a woman with romantic feelings for each other, it's more than that. This pandemic has made me realize that the real people who love and care for me are the people I had a REALationship with. They are the people who made me feel loved and accepted my flaws, and even after seeing my bad…

Be kind to yourself Most of the times people tell us to be kind to others because they are fighting silent battles. Have you thought the same thing towards yourself? It's easy to be kind to others, but why is it so difficult to be kind to yourself? Everyday you wake up, put a smile on your face and yet feel awful inside. You keep beating yourself up for the things that you should or you should have not done. You cheer others up, yet you tell negative things to yourself. You…

Never compare Have you ever wondered as to how and why good things happen to those people whom you consider yourself better? Or have you ever wanted something which isn't yours in the first place? No, I'm not talking about a boyfriend or a girlfriend. I'm talking about your dreams and goals in life. You somehow come to think of the things you want to have or achieve at a certain age, but when you're on that age, you realize that this wasn't the life you're expecting to have.…

It started as this You started as Strangers ➡️ Friends ➡️ Lovers ➡️ Strangers. The cycle is on repeat when you commit on something or someone when you shouldn't have. Commit to something or someone when you're ready, not when you feel like it. Commit to something or someone when you can give what it deserves to receive, not when you want to gain from it. Commit to something or someone when you know with yourself that it's the right time, not when it's the pressure that…

Don't rush When things don't go your way it's a blessing in disguise. When things get a lot difficult it makes you toughen up. When you feel like you can't take it anymore, you can rest. That's why it's important not to rush things and to take one step at a time. Oftentimes when you make things in a hurry it creates more problems. If you want to be sure with every step you take, take things slowly. It's more productive in doing so. You'll also be able to appreciate the…

Pandemic This pandemic made me realize a lot of things. Things which I can never know or understand if this didn't happen. Many things has been taken for granted for thinking that everything will stay as it is. No one has ever thought that something like this will happen. It was like a movie with unpredictable ending. Everything changed so fast. In a snap of a finger things are never the same. Streets became empty. Physical distancing is mandated. Face masks, face shields…

It doesn't matter whether you're young or old, single or married, men or women, rich or poor, professional or not, no one is excempted. Even babies has struggles. The only difference that we have with each other is the way we handle these things and the way we think. I often hear the term 'you don't know my pain'. This phrase…

YOUnique Imagine a world where everyone looks alike. Imagine people doing the same thing, eating the same food, having the same talent, having the same taste about everything, having the same dilemma and the same likes and dislikes. As I was pondering about these things I came up with the conclusion that when everyone is alike things would have been boring and dull for the reason that when you look around everybody is alike. No one is lesser or greater than anyone. No…

fAMily I always thank God for allowing me to grow in a huge family with loving mother and father. Even though we experienced hardships, we stick together in order to overcome anything that comes our way. When I was a lot younger I grew up without my mom because she works far away from us. Now that I'm grown up, my family will tell me stories about our typhoon experiences and the life that we had in the province. My mother decided to bring us together with her in the city. It…

BeYOUtiful I have wavy hair which looks frizzy most of the times. It's color is pale black maybe due to me being unhealthy. It's length is up to my waist or sometimes longer. My parents like to keep it that way and I do too. I am short with a height of 4'11. I was sickly while growing up. I always look pale, I have dark circles around my eyes, I'm too skinny, with dry and chopped lips, and I look a lot like a skeleton. I also seem to be easily carried by the wind. The…

Vibing with TikTok Vibing with TikTok TikTok is an app which is used to create short music, lip-sync, dance, comedy, duets, make up, or talent videos of 3 to 15 seconds, and short looping videos of 3 to 60 seconds. It is an online platform which is accessible to anyone. I was wondering why many people are entertained by it. I don’t use the app for one specific reason. I don’t like showing off my face and I’m not talented enough to upload videos of myself. Creators take time…

Tongue that spits Fire Have you ever felt like you haven't done anything right? To the point that all the people around you are mad at you and no one cares anymore. On your point of view, you think that you haven't done anything wrong but for them everything you did causes destruction. It's a struggle to speak your thoughts or give your opinion. No matter what you say it is you who is at fault. Your intention might be for the good and yet the way you deliver it contradicts…

OVERthinking **Definition of overthinking** As I searched the google for the technical term of overthinking this is the first definition I’ve seen. **“Overthinking** is exactly what it means, thinking too much. When you think too much, instead of acting and doing things, you are **overthinking**. When you analyze, comment and repeat the same thoughts over and again, instead of acting, you are **overthinking**. This habit prevents you from taking action.” Aside from this…

Papa (Father) He was the first man who loved me dearly. Most of the things he does are difficult to understand but one thing's for sure, it is all for my own good. I grew up with my father taking care of us. Since my mom is the one working and providing for our daily needs, my father is the one responsible to send us to school, feed us and serve as our mom and dad. I don't remember much from my childhood about Him. Weird right? Even though he was the one who is always with…

Have you ever wondered why can't we just be happy? Have you ever wondered why most people consider crying as a form of weakness? There are so many reasons for a person to shed tears. It might be because of pure joy, pure sadness, emptiness, the feeling of losing someone and so much more. There are silent battles we…

Childhood Sweetheart When I was a little girl, I used to have a playmate named John Matthew. He is a good looking young boy with an almost blonde hair, pointed nose, white skin, and a very cute pair of brown eyes. I was only four years old when I met him, but I can’t seem to forget him and the memories we shared. **“Hi! What’s your name? Why are you alone? Do you want to play with me?”** I asked as I approach him. But the least expected thing happened. **“Why do you care?…
