Status Update: NBSB
Have you been in a relationship before?
Or you’re a NBSB? No Boyfriend Since Birth
In my previous articles on my previous account, I already shared a glimpse of my past relationship. And today I am still enjoying my life as a **NBSB – NO BOYFRIEND SINCE BREAK.**
Title: Status Update: NBSB
Article: 10
Author: Petite
Published: October 22, 2021
It was 4 years ago when my first official relationship ended, it didn’t end well but at least I have experienced being on one. My curiosity of how it feels like to be in a relationship was answered when I entered the forbidden kingdom of young love at teens.
The beginning of the story started well it was fluttery and buttery like how it feels having butterflies on your stomach and all. But as time goes by instead of growing together slowly the relationship became toxic and if I were to relate it to a song lyric it goes like this,
***“It was great at the very first hands on each other, couldn’t stand to be far apart closer the better, now we pick and fight, slamming doors, magnifying all our flaws and I wonder why don’t know what for why we keep coming back for more…”***
I don’t know the title of the song but I love the message of it.
As days became weeks, and weeks became months we slowly grow out of love due to the toxicity of the relationship were in until I choose to end it up – Finally. Half of me is saying all the regret but let’s just say; charge to experience. As of now I’m enjoying my own company, more like I’m **IN A RELATIONSHIP** with **MYSELF**. Enjoying the taste of freedom; no need to update, no need to worry of having guy friends just breathing in and out loving my own.
They say you will meet someone who can make you forget the traumas of your past. I’m hopeful for the day to come, but not today. I’m still not ready to commit yet and I’m still scared to get hurt again. I am way focusing on myself now living the life with no worries at all. I know that my prayers will be answered in God’s perfect time and I am hopeful that when the time is right I’m ready to commit for the last time with this date-to-marry principle of mine. So let’s cheers for more single years to come!!
Last Words
To all single ladies out there,
Don’t rush yourself in love, love will find it course. Stop collecting red flags you’ll have a wagon full of it, one is already enough. This is very cliché to say but, know yourself worth and don’t settle for less than you deserve, you deserve more. Being single and contented is a trend nowadays, so don’t push yourself to hard finding love. Just go with the flow and let love alone be bothered to find you.

My Read.Cash Journey
Author: Petite
Date: October 15, 2021
Before I was introduced to this platform all my leisure time were spent scrolling down on either Facebook or TikTok. Just wasting my time on nonsense things, sharing memes and watching any content video. The only thing that keeps me busy aside from doing household chores and modules are social media.
Then my bestie’s birthday came in and we came to meet our university friends finally after the lockdown. And there @Sequoia introduced me to this platform and share her amazing experience which made me to think “Why not I try this one?” weeks later I decided to register and this is how my read.cash journey went.
After I register and set up my wallet and all, I then published my very first article “Even at Your Lowest” at my very first account @Teensy. My friend helped me a lot to gain subscribers and she even plugged my first article. My article was noticed by many and known individuals in this platform I also got sponsorship which is very amazing, and my articles were already gaining tips and what made it more shocking is Rusty noticed me right away. I was very overwhelmed that time and I even scream in joy because of it. My first week in read.cash went smooth and I really enjoyed the platform a lot, I even spend more time here than I do on Facebook and TikTok.
But the excitement and trill that drives my being to be motivated to write an article a day suddenly poof away when one day someone mentioned and told me that my account was marked as sp*m. Dazed and confused but I tried my best to deal with it, I asked help to my friend and even to @Kristofferquincy asking for ways to recover it but unfortunately the only solution was to create a new account. Brokenheartedly I created a new account.
@Petite this is my second account on read. I started again from scratch I deal my downfall positively and after I made my second account I published an article right away “Blessings in Disguise”. This time I was conscious of everything I do here, I made sure my comments were at least 2 sentences in minimum but lately I only read an article and leaves with an upvote. I continue on making an article a day and interacts with other writer as much as possible.
Then another unexpected twist of event came in, I was marked AGAIN as sp*m last night all my comments appeared as sp*m. I don’t really know the reason behind it I was devastated all night and I couldn’t sleep anymore, I was reminiscing what have I done. All my efforts went to drain, I already lost an account once and I can’t afford to lose this one anymore, I’m scared to lose my dear subscribers and sponsors AGAIN.
They say should just continue to stick to this account and be active for days hoping this account will be recovered. I’m writing this with all hope, hoping everythings gonna fine. How I wish I could turn back time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author’s Note: Marked as ap*m or not I’m still thankful for you all my lovely readers for being there for me for how many days. I hope I can cope up with this. ~Love Petite.🦋
And for the second time around my second account was marked as sp*m AGAIN. I'm refreshing the site many times already hoping this is not true, but it's not. I already have my hopes high but then this one came up. Don't know what to do anymore 🥺
I was away from this platform for days and Rusty is not visiting me anymore, I was hopeless but then @Sequoia renewed her sponsorship (I just found out now) and a new sponsor appeared on my notifications.
@Kendy42 thank you for the sponsorship. Thank you to the both of you, this really reminds me to keep up and motivates me to write more, God bless you lovely ones. ✨
Valued Possession
Do you ever give value to something that is given to you? How sentimental are you with it? How long can you keep it in your treasure chest? What’s your reason of keeping such?
Title: Valued Possession
Author: Petite
Article: 9
Date: October 14, 2021
I’m a sentimental type of person, and that explains as why I love keeping gifts, presents that are given to me even if it’s just a small thing. It may be a letter, a keychain, or a seashell whatever it is I give value to it. Whatever that it is given it’s always the thought that counts and that’s how I see things and that’s what makes it precious.
These are the valued possessions I have over the years. Let’s start with the oldest one
📍Pearl Necklace
This is my cousins gift way back elementary, I was grade 4. She gave it to me as a present on our Church Thanksgiving day. I only wore it once and after that I just kept it in. It’s already a decade and 2 years old but it still looks new.
📍Gold Plated Necklace
This is my grandmother’s graduation gift (Elementary) I really took good care of it because this is the last gift I receive from her before she died. I only use this necklace on a special occasion like weddings, and church anniversary celebrations. Valued for over 10 years.
📍The letter my best friend gave me
This letter has been kept inside my treasure chest for over 8 years. Yes, 8 years but still in good condition and the message inside it is still readable. This is the first ever bestie letter I receive from her and that what makes it special. We were grade 8 when she gave it to me.
📍Bracelet
My Tita gave it to me as a birthday present and I was grade 10 that time. The first bracelet I ever receive on my birthday. Valued for over 6 years.
📍Seashell
I don’t know but my friend gave it to me, I don’t know what was he thinking by giving me a seashell, and his words as he gave it to me was,
***“Wala koy kwarta mo palit ug gift, but I know imo ning ivalue.”*** (I don’t have enough money to buy you a gift, but I know you will give value to this one)
Strange but yes I did give value to it. I just keep it in because it looks cute HAHA silly me. I’ve been keeping this one for 6 years too.
Keychain Collections
📍Unicorn Keychains
My favorite among all keychains I have, I may be 22 years old already but I still fancy unicorns and stuffs. Have you watched the movie “Despicable Me”? The youngest daughter of Gru love unicorns too, and my reaction is same as her reaction every time she sees one. Judge me I don’t care, HAHAHA.
📍New Year Letter
I have brother (by heart) who gave me a new year’s gift and this letter was inside it. The first letter I receive from him, I kept it inside my wallet for 4 years already it looks like my lucky charm.
**And last but not the least**
📍Unicorn Pen
Well, this one is not really a gift I just took it from the owner. (HAHA Maya sorry) I borrowed a pen from my friend and this is what he offered, and again I love unicorn stuffs. So, I borrowed it I never returned his pen. The next day, I just shouted at him saying
***“Maya ako na ni imong ballpen!”*** (Maya your pen’s now mine!!)
Luckily he didn’t say a thing and just smiled. HAHA thanky.
Closing thoughts
Those were my valued possessions that is hidden and kept for years. It may not be that grand to keep but it’s the thought of the giver I value a lot of. Big or small give value to what is given to you, it ain’t that much but it shows appreciation to the one who gave it.
Author’s Note: Thank you for reading my lovely one, I hope your all having a blast today. Keep safe and God bless. ~Love, Petite. 🦋
Check out my lovely sponsors work too, they are all awesome.💕

Before we get started, let me sincerely apologize first for being inactive for days. I have been struggling physically and I can’t focus on writing an article due to my physical condition. I’ve been trying my best to write one but words just can’t come out of my head. I hope I can make it up to you read fam.

5 days of being away to this platform, 5 days of inactivity to both read and noise.cash, and it even took me more than 5 days of struggling physically. I’ve spent my days doing nothing just to relax and heal myself physically but I don’t know if it’s already enough, I think I overworked my body by staying up late at night for a couple of days spending almost 5 hours in front of my phone and now I’m paying for it. It only took me 5 days to look like a living zombie – pale and wasted. My soul is trying to keep up and give it’s best shot to be energetic but my body is betraying me. I really hate it when I’m sick.
4
4 cold and drowsy nights to consumes me up and no matter how much I try to fight it I just can’t keep it up. 4 straight nights of headache, every time I stand my head is spinning and so as my entire being. “Headache is not enough let’s add more”,
Red teary eyes and runny nose I didn’t know where it all went wrong but I think this a curs*. I’ve been paying enough sleep for 4 straight nights and I think I need to spend another 4 if my body wants more.
3
3 things I do every day – sleep, eat, rest. Been doing the same routine every day, it’s boring but I have to. If sleeping will be a contest I think I can win because I’ve been hardly training for it for days, sleeping for long hours that is enough to turn myself into a butterfly when I wake up. (HAHA) 3 things that I’ve been doing since birth but it’s still strange when it’s all you have to do every day.
2
2 words need to bear in mind “Take Care”. Never ever abuse yourself for it will make you pay it all up one day. Now this is my lesson, 2 words that I have been neglecting lately and now I’m being reminded of it. 2 words that we have to consider in everything that we do. And 2 words that only us is responsible for.
1
1 article, and it took me 1 hour to finish this one. 1 hour of squeezing the words out of my head. Well, at least I made 1 article for today. 1 thing that I’ve achieved for today. I know this 1 article is not enough to make up for my 5 days of absence but I will try my best to write to keep you all updated. Ending this article in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Mother of All Profession
Inline with the World's Teachers' Day Celebration. I just want to appreciate and thank all teachers who have been our mentor since then. HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY TO ALL TEACHERS. ✨
Title: Mother of All Profession
Author: Petite
Article: 8
Date: October 5, 2021
Teacher – as defined by Merriam – Webster “is a person or something that teaches something”. As easy as it has been defined but the responsibility that is comes with is a lot bigger than it seems. Being a teacher is both an investment of time – as it takes time to study its discipline and principle and it takes years to achieve it, effort and patience – as learning to become a teacher by profession needs to have effort of understanding and patience on learning. Just like they say “Teacher is the mother of all profession” and indeed it literally is, every ones’ journey to the professional world lies a teacher that plays an important role of making an individual become what they want and who they want to be in their chosen path and it starts as early as we decided to go school.
Being a teacher comes with great responsibility, when a child is left to school the teacher takes full care and control of the child which is harder than a parent could because they have to take care not only one student but the class a as whole. Teachers does not only imply learning and knowledge to the students but also teaches them to become good citizens as members of the society, molds and trains them to be prepared as they are going to face the real world soon enough when they graduate and teaches the way of life making them see the realities of the world at an early age so that when the time comes and when they become adults, they will be responsible enough to make decision and make wise choices to be considered in life. Everyone’s success lies a teacher that made it possible and achievable through their shared learnings and knowledge and that alone, we should consider ourselves thankful as it is not easy to become a teacher-teaching students from different background, race, culture, tradition, and attitude.
**Life is a series of learning and a teacher has made it possible for us to understand and perceive things.**
Author's Note: This is just a pretty short article just to give appreciation to all teachers out there. My apologies for making this one short it's because I'm not feeling very well these days. But I promise to make it up to you all once I'm all okay. Thanks for reading my lovely one. ~Love, Petite🦋
Thank you for all those who genuinely supports me, and to all my amazing sponsors.💕
Ommo!! Another sponsor!! Thank you so much @Sensaii for the support. I makes me feel appreciated. sending lots of love ❤
It’s okay, I’m fine (Part 2)

I have been staying strong despite this sickness I’ve been; I want to keep up the fight, I don’t want to be seen as weak. I have been fighting for 1 month and I can fight another one if that’s how long it takes, but my body betrayed me and it slowly devoured my fighting spirit.
It’s been a month since I was diagnosed of having Leukemia, I’ve been receiving treatment since then but just how fast the night changes so as the spread of these cancer cells. Now I don’t know how long can I keep up, all I know is that it will not take long because my body is slowly giving up.
*“I know I won’t last long.”*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Phone Beep*
“Hey! You okay?” ~Tim
I don’t know what to reply, I never contacted him for a week because I don’t want him to see me like this – weak. I don’t want to add up to his gloomy and troubled mind. But I don’t want to leave him behind unexplained.
*Phone Dialing*
“Hello? Who is this?”
“Hey! It’s me are you free today? Can you pay me a visit? I’m at the hospital. I’ll text you the address.”
“Why are you at the”
*Call Ended*
“I’ll tell you everything once you’re here.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The door opened, and you came in.
“Hey!” and I put up a wide smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tim’s POV
As I was getting close to her, my knee weakened and with trembled hand I reach you out. I can see how hard it is for you but you still manage to put up a smile. I don’t know but why you have to suffer like this alone.
“Hey!”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” my voice starts to crack.
“I don’t want you to see me like this, a weakling.”
“You were always there for me, but I …”
With her weak hands, she wiped the tears on my cheek. Lifted up my chin and look straight to my eyes.
“Hey, don’t say that. This is want I want, you already carried too much I don’t want to add it up.”
I hold back my tears, with my heart aching I swallowed it in and held her hand tight. I need to be strong for her.
“Okay, is there anything you want? Or something you want to do. Tell me.”
“Nothing much, I just want you to listen.”
“What do you want to talk about?” I tried to sound good.
She looked at the window with a black space face.
“No matter what happens, please be strong. Even if I won’t be there anymore.”
“What do you mean? I”
“Please just let me finish. Just let me say what I want to, that’s why I texted you to be here. Just listen okay? We never know this will be my last words.” She looked at me and smiled.
“Don’t say that, not a good joke.”
“Hahaha okay. (Weak laugh) I want you to take good care of yourself, I know your old enough to do so but please grow up! cuz I won’t be there always to look out for you.”
“Hey! Are teasing me?”
“No, it’s just a reminder.”
“Are you leaving me?”
Her tears are now starting to fall, but she’s trying to held it in.
*sniff* *deep breaths*
“Just let me finish. Do you still remember how we first met? Haha you looked dumbed that day.”
“Okaaay, here we go again.”
“I took a picture of you that day and kept it in my wallet.”
She handed me the picture.
“Keep it, it’s yours now. I just want to look at it to remember you as a dumbed one forever. I hope you will remember me as someone who live a happy life and not like this. Weak, pale, and skinny.”
I don’t know what she’s trying to say but I don’t like where it’s going.
“You don’t have to spoil me anymore, haha.”
My tears are starting to fall, I squeeze her hand tight and look her in the eye.
“What are you saying, let’s stop here.”
She touched my face with her weak gesture
“You are an amazing person. I’m so blessed to have you. Always remember that I will always be rooting for-for you.” Her voice is starting to crack.
“Please don’t say that, I”
“I-I am happy to spend my days with you, sadly it’s only for a while. Don’t forget to eat your meals every day, no skipping this time. I won’t be there to monitor you. Don’t forget to take you meds when you’re sick, don’t expose yourself to much on … “
Now she’s crying, and so am I.
“Pleaseeeeeee don’t say anything, I don’t want you to say things like this. We can still find ways; you can still be cured. I-I will help them find a good …”
“No, I can’t I’m tired. I want to rest.”
I know but it’s just that I can’t let you go like this, please I know it’s a selfish wish but,
“Can you come closer? I want to hug you.”
I come closer to her, and hug her tight.
We didn’t say a word, just feeling each other’s warm hug.
She whispered to my ear and the last word she said was,
**“Thank you”**
And her hand fell.
*beeeeeeeep*
and the line on the monitor went straight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s been 6 years already since you left but the memory of you is still as fresh as a new bloom rose. I hope your happy wherever you are right now. You don’t have to worry about me anymore, you don’t have to feel sad about leaving me behind, it may be hard but,
It’s okay, I’m fine.

It’s okay, I’m fine
Tragic experiences, traumas of the past, hard to forget memories, that keeps hunting us. No matter hard we try to run away from it, no matter how hard we try to forget and leave it behind there is just no guaranty that we can’t remember it. They say all wounds heal, but in reality they leave scars. We may forget how it felt back then, but the memory of what happened may still be vivid clear as if it was only yesterday. It may be long gone, part of painful history, and considered ancient to someone who knew but to the subject person it varies. In every story the supporting characters only knows the glimpse of the main character’s story, because we all have our own different story to tell.

December 31
Last day of the year, last day of the month. Last day but everyone seems to like it, the only last that everyone is happy about. But who would have thought that, that would also be her last.
December 31, 2014 11:00 PM
It was the day she died. The day I didn’t expect to come, the day I can’t forget.
Who would have thought that behind a happy-go-lucky person, cheerful and positive one lies a sick and weak person on the inside that no one knows about. How could you keep it from me when I didn’t keep anything from you.
She was my knight in shining armor, silly as it sounds but she’s the one who saves me when I’m drowning in all my problems, the only trustworthy person I can call on when I don’t have anyone to call up on. I’m an emotionally troubled person but because of her I can keep up, she always makes ways to lighten up my mood and make me forget my problems when I’m with her. But I was never there when you needed me the most.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s been a week since she last contacted me, I don’t know why but it was a bit strange because she never misses a day to contact me. Now it’s been a week already and I never heard anything from her.
“Maybe I should make a visit in her house.”
As I went there, nobody’s home.
“Strange, where did everyone go?”
*Phone Rings*
“Hello? Who is this?”
“Hey! It’s me are you free today? Can you pay me a visit? I’m at the hospital. I’ll text you the address.”
“Why are you at the”
*Call Ended*
I don’t know but I feel nervous and my heart is racing, why would she be there? Is there something wrong? Wild thoughts are now crossing on my mind, but
“Argh what am I thinking?”
Bothered and nervous, but I immediately went to the hospital address she sent me. As I walk closer to her ward my heart is now beating hard, I don’t know but it creeps me out when I saw her mom and dad outside her room with red teary eyes and runny nose.
“She’s inside waiting for you.” ~Aunt May
I open the door and there you are. Your eyes widened and greeted me with a lovely smile. But this time you look different – pale and weak.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author's Note: This is just a work of fiction everyone, only driven by my wild imagination and all. I will just upload the continuation of the story if you want to keep it up. Anyways, thanks for reading my lovely one. ~Love, Petite. 🦋

Challenge Accepted
Challenge Accepted: 10 Random Questions
This is a challenge from @Theodore but then unexpectedly his account was marked as sp*m so he made a new one @Caleb07 I know how you feel because you have to start again. been there too, fighting!! ❤
This challenge is more like game because prize will be given away to the lucky winner as one way of giving thanks to all those who supported him and for his 1-week achievement. All writers can join and participate. See the instructions below.
10 Random Questions
1. What do you want people to say about you once you’re gone?
Nothing much but I want them to remember as someone reliable and whose been on their side when they are having a hard time. Someone that when bad things happen I serve as a light bulb that lights up to their mind as someone they can call on to. They can say whatever they want to say either it’s a complaint or not. But I want to be remembered as someone that they can hold on when they needed one the most.
2. What do you bring most to a friendship?
I value friendship a lot and it’s more like a second family to me. In a friendship I bring most my time, love and care. I may not be always present in every outings and reunion but I promise that I will always be there for you when you need me. I may not be good at giving comfort, but I can give you all my ears – ready to listen anytime. You can count on me when you’re having a bad time and I will be there ready to support you all the time.
3. When are you most yourself?
Most of the time it’s when I’m with my friends, I can be me anytime anywhere with them. That’s why I love to spend time with them because I don’t have to pretend to be someone else, I don’t have to please them because they already know me.
4. What’s something you love to make?
Making hand written letters is what I love making the most, all my friends and loved ones already received a letter from me in every special occasions. I can’t afford to buy any expensive gifts and all, all I can give you is my love through a letter. I give efforts in every letter I make and for me that’s worth it, it’s the thought and effort that counts right? HAHA if you already receive a letter from me that means you are someone close to my heart. But sometimes due to a busy schedule all I can do is a message sent via text or chat.
5. How do you show your love to others?
Someone ask me what is my love language, and I think it is TIME and EFFORT. I’m not really into showing love through words being said and through actions like I can be clingy to you and all. I feel cringe doing that, I show my love in a different way that only you can feel if your someone dear to me either a family or a friend.
6. Best gift you ever receive?
I receive gifts a lot since the beginning of time, but the best give for me is a letter. I love giving letters and I also love receiving one. I first received a hand-made letter from my dearest friend when I was grade 8 and that letter is still with me up to now. Still in good condition even after 8 years. That’s how I value letters a lot, it warms my heart when I receive one.
7. What type of person angers you the most?
The type of person that angers me the most is a promise breaker. I really hate it when someone promised me something and by the end of the day I got to expect nothing. I mean if you can’t make it or do it, just don’t promise a thing it’s way much better that way than leaving me with all hopes high and ended up nothing.
8. What is your worst weakness?
My worst weakness since then is that I get emotionally attached easily. Like when I show my care to someone I mean it, when I treat you as a friend I mean it but sometimes I ended up not getting the same energy I don’t know but it hurts me. Haha saddening.
9. What 3 words would you have on your grave stone?
*“Happily Ever After”*
That’s what I want to be written on my grave stone. You may think I’m weird but living a life and having to come to an end, I want it to be a happy ever after. After death is another journey to the after-life and I’ve always dream that my life could be like a fairytale a perfect fantasy. I want it to spend just like a Cinderella story. (Disney Fan Alert)
10. What’s it like being you right now?
Being me right now is more of living a free and happy life, wherein I don’t have to ask permission to everything that I want to do or say. Because before I feel controlled and guarded but now I can fly free. YES, TO SINGLE LIFE!!!!
That’s it for my entry to this 10 random question challenge, my point of joining is not to win it’s because I want to know more of myself by answering these questions and for you guys to know me more. Thank you for this one @Caleb07

The Brother I Never Have
Do you have an older brother? Or do you have someone whom you treat as one? Having a brother is my lifetime dream.
“How I wish I had a big brother.”
This is what I always every time I see kids my age who have an older brother way back in elementary. I never ever wanted to be the eldest, I never ever wanted to be someone that can be called onto when something bad happens, I don’t want to be the “Ate”. That’s what I always thought of before.
Title: The Brother I Never Have
Author: Petite
Article: 05
Date: September 27, 2021
Even when I was a child I always wanted to have a big brother, someone I can call on to when someone bullies me, someone who can treat me like a princess just like everybody else’s do. And someone that I can depend on. I’ve been longing to have a big brother ever since, and because I can’t have one I made ways to experience it – the love and care of a brother.
Most of my friends were guys, yes the majority of my circle of friends consists guys. And often misunderstood by others by their toxic mindset of a girl having a close friendship with a boy. But I never mind any of that, for I know to myself that my conscience is clear. Having guy friends makes me feel I have a brother, even though sometimes I’m way older than them. Since high school up to now I have guy friends that I can rely on, every time I needed them they are always there. Just a little background of my friends they are not a bad influence to me and most of them are Christians and the other is a literal one – it’s his name haha.
At first my parents didn’t want me to have guy friends, but then later as I constantly introduce my friends to them they become okay with it. In my previous article I shared how strict my parents are that’s why I rarely attend outings with my friends and because of my situation, the venue of all our outings/reunion changed to one place – our house. Sila na ang nag adjust, if I can’t make then let’s change it (venue). My parents are always okay with it, every time I ask their permission they always, ALWAYS say yes. No question asks at all because they know I’m safe.
Being with them makes me feel secure, and protected. Though they are not really my brother, it may be a bit different unlike having a real one but I got to experience how it feels like and for me that’s already amazing.
Among all of them there’s this one whom I’m very close too, I share my life’s rants to him and other stuffs even nonsense things. He’s like a brother to me not by blood but by heart. It’s really a blessing having to know someone reliable and trustworthy like you. (Hey! If you’re reading this, thank you for everything)
Author’s Note: I only wanted to feel the love and care a brother that’s all and it’s not because I want to have an intimate something with them, if you know what I mean hahaha. Anyways thanks for reading lovely one. ~Love, Petite.🦋
Thank you to all my readers, and lovely sponsors.💕

How to stay happy and satisfied?
In life there are really times wherein we can feel unsatisfied with what have, and we tend to ask for more. But it is really necessary? When all we have to do is this:
📍Stop COMPARING yourself to others
Most of the time we tend to compare ourselves to other people, we want to have what they have, we want to be just like them, which is not good actually because we are made different from each other, though we have something in common but overall we are uniquely different. It is because we add color to the world, come to think of it when we are all the same from physical traits and character everything will be bland and boring. That’s why you don’t have to compare yourself to other people, there is something in you that others don’t have and vice versa.
📍Be CONTENTED with what you have
Being contented of what we have is sometimes neglected. We don’t usually notice what we actually have and wanted to ask for more. Common example is our Phone we want to buy a new phone when we see a new release that caught our attention and interest without realizing that we already have one. Even when it’s not really necessary. We want to be seen as someone with class, on trend and flashy that’s why sometimes we look desperate of wanting it even though we know we can’t financially. So, learn to be contented with what you have and don’t ask for more we you know you can’t.
📍Learn to APPRECIATE things
Big or small learn to appreciate things, be grateful with what you have because either big or small it’s still a blessing. Appreciate whatever is given to you, don’t get mad when you receive things that is lesser than expected. Bear in mind that that you are bless with what you need and what you want. Even big things don’t make sense to you if you don’t know how to appreciate.
Lastly, in order to feel happy and satisfied,
📍Know that God is our PROVIDER
God is our provider and that is true, because it is His promise to provide all our needs even our wants. When you pray for provision, trust and have faith in Him for he will surely suffice your need. You don’t have to worry about anything because you will be provided.
Conclusion
How can we feel happy and satisfied? We have to stop comparing ourselves to others, we have to be contented with what we have, we have to learn to appreciate things, and lastly to know our God is our provider.
Author’s Note: I hope you learned something, this is just an encouragement if you’re feeling down. Continue to strive to survive, fighting!! Thanks for reading. ~Love, Petite.🦋

5 Personalities
Each of us has different personality, and do you believe that one person can have 5 different personalities at a time? Do you ever wonder what are those? Well, we do have different personalities depending of we are with. I know some us already noticed it, or some do not. So for those who are wondering what is it then let me share this one to clear up your mind.
Title: 5 Personalities
Author: Petite
Article: 03
Date: September 24, 2021
Our personality depends on who we are with it varies when:
📍When Alone
We can be different when we are alone, some of us want to spend our time alone differently like; some wants to have a peaceful environment reading books or watching movies, while others enjoy their Me Time listening and chilling with music all alone and singing out loud. A free time where we can be ourselves, no need to wear a mask where we have to pretend or please everybody else. When I’m alone all I do is listening to music, singing out loud, dancing as if no one sees me. I don’t care what others think, all I care about is that I’m having a good time even though no one’s around.
📍When at School
School is a different environment compared to our home. In here we can be competitive or just a passerby. We can be participative or we can just sit and watch. We can be a bully or as someone being bullied. Sometimes how we behave at home is different when we are at school. When alone I can be loud and crazy but when I’m at school I act differently, I hate listening to loud stuffs or even loud shouts and all inside the classroom, I don’t talk to everyone just like how noisy classmates do. I only get chitchats with my friends, just them and nothing else. I enjoy their company more than the rest of the class.
📍When with Friends
We are comfortable when were with friends, we can act crazy at times when things get interesting. With them either we can be who we are – true and pure, or we can be somebody else that we want others to see us – double face, pretentious. When I’m with my friends I’m the noisy and crazy one. Like I do a lot of talking and everything, there’s never a moment that I shut my mouth when I’m with them. I can be who I am and I don’t have to wear a mask or pressure myself just to please them. But choosing a friend is important because just as the saying goes,
“Tell me about your friend, and I will tell you who you are.”
Sometimes we can be influenced by them either in a good way or the bad one, our friends can also be referred to us our reflection of who we are a person. So be careful of who to mingle and be friend with.
📍When with Family/at Home
Of course when we are with our family, our personality depends by which family we came from. Like when we are from a strict family we tend to be always careful of how we act and behave unlike when we are with friends because we are free to do whatever we like. Or when we are with our family we can be jolly and all but when we are with someone outside the family we tend to more serious and quiet. As a jolly person I’m way more crazy with my friends, it’s just that I’m way more comfortable with them.
And the last but not the least is,
📍When with our Love one/ someone we like
Our personality can be a total opposite when we are with someone we like or someone we are in a relationship with. We tend to act cautious, delicate and behave. We wanted to make our self as someone with great personality as much as we can. When we are noisy type of person, we tend to act more quiet and behave. We have to make it our best. I know you feel the same way too; cuz I do. When I’m with someone I like, I act behave and I tend to not speak a lot I’m quite the quiet and shy type. But that was before, now I learned my lesson.
Conclusion
If you want someone to accept you for being who you are you have to show them your flaw. We should not be afraid to show it because when their feelings are real and their intention is pure and true, they will accept you fully of being who are together with your flaw.
Author’s Note: Those are the 5 personalities that we have depending on we are with. Whatever personality it may be; all we have to do is to be ourselves because no one will love us the way we love our own. Always be good, true, and pure without stepping on others. Thanks for reading lovely one. Fighting!! ~Love, Petite.🦋

Strictly for You
“We are only doing this for you.”
“It’s only for your own sake.”
Do you hear the same thing too from your parents? Well, this not new to us anymore especially to me because since the Odon of time I’ve been hearing this one.

I grow up from a very conservative and strict bloodline.
📍I have a CONSERVATIVE Grandmother
My grandmother was a very conservative one, and as a first granddaughter I was the one who experience how conservative and strict she was. Way back 15 years ago never have I ever wore shorts before when I was young, all my bottoms are either a jogging pants or long skirts. I never even got to wear sexy tops before, I never got a mini skirt that looks cute just like other kids does. What I wear was blouses, T-shirts, sweat shirts and long sleeves. Yes, I was a kid but the way I dress looks like an elderly. I always envy other kids the way they look so cute on their shorts and mini shirts, and every time I try to wear one my grandmother will always scold me because of it.
And that explains as to why I can’t even dare to wear shorts nowadays, I only wear shorts when I’m home and aside from that you can’t see me wearing one. It’s just because I’m not used to wearing one since I was little. I can still remember way before this pandemic started, I was teased for not wearing shorts in every beach and pool outings. Call me weird but I always wear jogging pants and T-shirt even when swimming. At first they call me weird and says,
*“Asa ka? Matug?”* (Are you going to sleep?)
They will laugh at me because of what I’m wearing but I don’t care, laugh at me all you want. This is me haha. Now my friends are used to it, because they can’t change it.
I was Senior High School when I started to wear an off shoulder top, I was hesitant at first but my friends always wanted me to come out of my comfort zone. So I decided to wear one and everyone was like
*“Oh, that’s a first.”*
Hahaha it really was a first. Even up to now I’m still adapting to this current trend of dressing, but you can still see my conservative side. There are a lot of stuffs I want to try wearing but I’m not too confident to wear one, that’s why I always end up dreaming wishing I can.
I have a STRICT Father
My father is very strict even since the day I came out to world up until now. Having a strict parent is not easy. Whatever you do, wherever you go, all of it needs approval and monitoring. So this how my life goes.
Every outing, birthdays, celebrations and every other special occasions I really need to have a lot of time asking for his approval. When I say a lot, I MEAN A LOT. I always ask my parent’s permission month before the set date of the outing/birthdays, and whatever occasions that my friends want me to attend. Yes, one month of preparation before the day of deployment haha. That’s how my leisure time goes, and that is not enough, I need to ask my friends to ask permission to my parent’s for me to go either personal or through messages. Most of my friends already know this one, that’s why when they will invite me to every occasion their line will always be,
*“Mananghid ko kay angkol.”* (I will ask uncle’s permission)
Yes, and once they do. I know my father will automatically approve me of going out. With the strict reminder that I should be home before 4:00 PM and that I should text him every now and then. Follow the rules and I’m good to go. That’s how my life goes having a conservative and strict parents.
Conclusion
Before I used to rant as to how I’ve been treated like this but later on I realized that it was only for my own good. Having a strict dad may not be easy but it is only one way of showing how much he cares for me. And by letting my friends ask his permission is one way of showing that my friends are trustworthy and that I’m in good hands when I’m with them, one way of earning trust and respect.
Author’s Note: All that I stated above are true and base on my personal experience and it was not made up. I hope that when you also have a strict parent always look at the bright side of it. And this is just STRICTLY FOR YOU. Thank you for reading lovely one. ~Love, Petite.🦋

Blessings in Disguise
Good morning everyone, I just wanna share my sentiment first. My first read.cash account was marked as sp*m where all my comments appeared to be a sp*m and I don’t know why is that, so I decided to just make a new one. By the way I’m Teensy now reborn as Petite.
To all my amazing 30 subscribers thank you very much, I hope we can unite again in this new account of mine. And to my lovely sponsors @charmingcherry18, @breadchamp, @micontingsabit, and @Niazi420 thank you for the sponsorship I’m really grateful for it. And lastly to my friend @Sequoia who introduced me to this amazing platform and helped me make it through. Thank you dang.
Just as the title of my article maybe what happened to me is a blessing in disguise that wants me to make a new fresh start. Hello everyone, this is Petite.
Blessings in Disguise
In life we see every good thing that comes to our life, every success, every answered prayer, every goals that has been achieved as BLESSINGS. And failures, hardships, and challenges in life we see it as something that we should not be looking up on, something that bothers us, we see it as test that measures us on how to overcome it.
But are we certain that all those failures, and hardships are not often referred to as blessings? Well, sometimes we may not notice it but they are called BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE.
There are blessings that we don’t usually see as one, and here are some of it.
📍FAILED RELATIONSHIPS
Being in a relationship that failed are sometimes a blessing in disguise. Most inspirational love stories we hear, and see from televisions sometimes came from those people who once failed in it – lead them broken and alone. Why is it called a blessing? Mainly because that person was not really meant for you, your relationship failed because you do not deserve to be with each other, because you are meant to find someone your destined with, someone that you will spend the rest of your life with. When you once failed in a relationship, don’t feel too sad, think that it’s one way of showing that the two of you was only meant to cross paths but not to journey it together.
📍LIFE STRUGGLES
Every success lies behind the blood and sweat being shed. Our life struggles are not meant to torment us, it sometimes fuels us to push through, it drives us to be motivated. Real-life stories of successful business man/woman are driven by poverty, and that made them think of a way to take a step up and overcome the poverty they’ve been. That’s why don’t think negatively of having these hardships in life, think that behind it is a success. Because you will never experience success without experiencing failure.
📍DEATH OF A LOVED ONE
Death of a loved one may sometimes be called as a blessing in disguise, why? Because family conflicts are often solved when death among a loved one is involve. I personally experience it; it was our relative. They are having a conflict due to a misunderstanding that took them years of having not to speak at each other even though they are neighbors. Imagine how bad was it that it took 2 years to be resolved, and it was only settled when their mom died. They united again as it was their mother’s last wish – settlement among them. And this is not a common situation to us, I know some of you also have a story just like this one.
📍REJECTION
Rejections are sometimes a blessing either on work or to someone you confessed your feelings to. Rejection is another sign that you don’t belong there. You won’t grow in that environment; you are not recognized despite all your efforts made to contribute for the benefit of all. Like they say you are not just in a place, find a better place that suits you and sees you as you are.
Conclusion
Those are just some of our blessings in disguise, though we may not it as a blessing sometimes. All we have to do just to look at it in a bigger picture, and once you do you will be more amaze of how this twist and turns of events in our life became our fuel to go on. So what’s your blessings in disguise?
Author’s Note: Thank you for reading lovely one, hope you will have a blast today. Declaring more blessings to come. ~Love, Petite.
