one of the things i’ve always wanted was to become a regular at a coffee shop here in baguio.

yesterday i was ordering my drink when the staff member stopped me halfway through and asked “your usual po, ma’am?” i've been riding that high ever since

i hope i keep growing and not the other way around. i hope i make more sound decisions, become a little less hypocritical every day, and learn to take accountability without carrying shame for the rest of my life.

i hope everything i do ultimately helps me become a genuinely good person (not just nice), someone with integrity, a regulated nervous system, and a healthy relationship with their emotions.

i hope i become wiser without becoming cynical, softer without becoming naive, more self-aware without turning every mistake into a life sentence, and carry the lesson forward before life has to teach it to me again.
