Read.cash & Noise.cash: A Blessing in Disguise.

I am just a plain daughter and student before. A daughter whose only responsibility in the house is to wash the dishes. And a student who only prioritize her studies. I am just the kind of 20 years old student whose life cycle is to wake up, eat, wash the dishes, study, and sleep. Nothing more, nothing less.

Very plain and boring. I know. But who will think that read.cash and noise.cash will change everything? Who will think that this two platform will turn my boring life into something productive and meaningful cycle? Who will think that it will be a blessing in disguise to someone?

I was invited to one of my friend's house to celebrate her grandparent's wedding anniversary. I went there with my other friends. We are seven in our squad. One of them is @charmingcherry08 . And since me and my ex-boyfriend just broke up that time, I am actually looking for fun. To divert my attention. Because I am already drowning by overflowing pain and sadness. To the point that I even questioned my worth as a person. And I don't want those emotions consumed me and my sanity. That is why I went there. Simply to have fun. To unwind for a while.

"Uy, gusto niyo kumita? Magkapera?"

Out of nowhere, it was aked by @charmingcherry08 while we are eating and having fun.

"Pero para sa mga masipag/matiyaga at mahihilig sumulat yon."

Those statements caught my attention. No doubt. It will surely caught the attention of a person who has love on writing like me.

And to make the story short, those statements are the reasons why I am here. It is simply the reason why you are reading this article now.

I never thought that going out and having fun with friends thingy will change everything. Never in my thought that breakup and heartbreak will lead you to a blessing. A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

Earnings. Let's not be hyprocrite here. To earn is one of my reasons of joining the two platforms. Of course, who wouldn't want to earn while doing what you love which is writing right? Its indeed a big time bonus for me.

Self-love. Yes, I consider self-love as one of the blessings that you can get in this platform. It is because through writing, I found my self. I found my worth. I found my purpose. I learned to appreaciate life in a deeper level. And most of all, I learned that what I only need is self-validation. I don't need someone (ex-boyfriend) who will make me feel less human. I don't need someone who will make me question my worth. Through these platforms, I learned to forget and let go of unhealthy and toxic feelings, thoughts, and even people in my life. I LEARNED TO LOVE MY SELF MORE.

Family. You read it right. I found not only friends here but family. Yes, I considered them as a family because as early as this, I am considering these platforms as my home already. I found friends here who motivates, inspires, and supports each other which a family actually do. My read.cash & noise.cash family.

So to my ate's here, ate @Ruffa , @Firenze , @Jane (I cannot mention you ate, I don't know why, sorry) whom I consider as a family, thank you po! Eventhough I am just a newbie here, you guys warmly welcomed me and inspires me to do more and to be better! You have no idea how blessed and happy I am to meet you po here. To ate @Eybyoung whom I admire in this platform, thank you po for always inspiring me with your articles. To more inspirational articles pa po from you! Also to @Laurenceuuuu whom I admire so much here too because at a young age, he rocked already! Hands up bro!

And of course, to the person who is the reason why I am here. To my pretty and very supportive friend here and in real life too for almost 7 years now, @charmingcherry08 you have no idea how blessed and greatful I am to have a sweet cherry in my life. It makes the bitter side of life always bearable. You know how proud I am in whatever path you're in right now. How proud I am to all your decisions and choices. Always. I am just so thankful for your mere existence! You know the rest. I love you!
