Growing up in a family with high expectations is not easy. I had to prove myself all the time. They only pay attention when I have achieved something remarkable. Even being a simple with honor is not enough. They expect me to be at the top of my class, to always excel no matter what the odds are. My parents already have my life sorted out, even my profession and who they want me to marry. I grew up with this kind of mindset that I should sacrifice the present for my future because if I don't, I'll fail. My failure will not only disappoint me but everyone who wants me to be successful. I should have known it was wrong. I have wasted so much opportunities to be happy and experience how it feels to be normal because I wanted to be extraordinary.
Our current education system has transformed my perception of things completely. The phase was very fast, you know. We'll sit for a few hours in front of the phone screen to attend online classes, answer activities and submit them to Google class. I had to self-study and review by myself. It was painstakingly exhausting. I realize that it's okay if I'm not the best in the class, the smartest or the one who leaves a good impression everyone will never forget. it's okay if I fail sometimes. Making mistakes does not make me less of a human. We all have deadlines to chase, requirements to pass, problems to deal with and wounds we have to mend. I could not afford to breakdown so I had to compartmentalize. My frail body could not handle everything at once. I have learned to honor my emotions, validating them and giving myself enough rest before I continue my pursuit of success. Our society will always reiterate the idea of dreaming and soaring high, but at the end of the day, we are not defined by the expectations we have set for ourselves.
Success isn't about greatness, achievements or praises from the crowd. It's about being consistent with your efforts. It's about having faith in yourself because you believe in your dreams no matter how other people perceive them. I don't want to excel anymore. I'm fine with passing grades because I worked hard for the inputs I have submitted. I'd rather be on the middle of the rollercoaster than sit at the top while people look at me with too much speculation. I'm proud of me. Be proud of yourself, too.

Dear Women, Beauty is a magnet. It attracts men to you. Character is like a super glue, it binds them to you. Even if man found the finest orange he would definitely reject it if there was no juice in it. Your character is the juice that makes your orange irresistible..!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT for MATURED MIND'S.
I asked her if she was okay and she said "I'm fine, I swear". But when I looked into her eyes, I clearly saw her struggles there.
She quickly looked away and tried her best to smile. She said softly, "I'll make it through this, it's just taking me awhile."
I knew she was hurting, and I knew her pain was deep. But she felt the burden was hers,
and hers alone to keep.
I reached out to her, and our hands entwined. I said, "I love you, my friend, so your burdens are also mine."💙✨

Everyone deserves someone who can make them forget that their heart was ever broken. 🥀✨
At The End Of The Day, What Really MATTERS
Is that
you are doing what makes you happy...
It's about following your heart wherever it leads you and being yourself wherever you go...It's about loving and celebrating who you are so much that it just doesn't matter what anyone else thinks... And it's about celebrating others and who they are too... It's about encouraging others to be who they are because there is no competition or race... Your life is about creating your own happiness;
your life is about letting yourself shine.

"As you grow older, you will realize that you appreciate the silence, the privacy, the peace, the happiness, and tears. You will realize that acceptance is not something you get from everyone and it doesn't come from asking the world to approve you. Acceptance is something you dig within for it is solely coming from you you possess it, you own it, and you name it.
Search for that peace in everything you do. Seize every moment, stay away from things that will rob your happiness, live a meaningful life and make the most out of it.
Allow peace, contentment, and happiness feed your soul but the world doesn't necessarily have to know."

Selenophile - A person who loves the moon. ✨
I saw you today and I looked at you, you didn't see me but I saw you. I tried so hard to pay attention but my focus shifted to you, to the months we had spent together the times you made me laugh, the late night facetime calls we had, the secrets we shared all of a sudden I found myself missing you, missing what we had. I can't pretend it isn't killing me inside to act like you are a stranger..💙✨
It's okay if you just made it through the day today. It's okay if you didn't do anything today. Life can be extremely tough and right now, these times are even harder. I'm so proud of you for getting through it despite it all.
I lost my self, trying to please everyone
But now, I'm loosing everyone while trying to find myself.. 🌸✨

You never know the pain of a person, no matter what they say. Be kind always. 🍂
Good people when
you make them suffer, they don't scream.
But they file. They
move away slowly, without noise,
then never come back.
They are still good,
but without trust.
And it is at that very moment
that they take you out of their lives.
They will not support you anymore.
They won't trust you anymore.

When I was little , I picked up a flower and put it in a vase . after a few days , it died . I asked my mom why and she said ;
“ You can't force a flower to thrive somewhere it doesn't belong to ”
And now I realized that people are like that too.🥀

Take care of your heart
Let go of all the people who play with it. The ones who don't know how to handle it. The ones who took advantage of it and recklessly pierced it into pieces. Let go of those who see your kindness as weakness and take advantage of it. Let go of them so you can fully see and appreciate your worth.🥀
