Y a n a

Anyway…

1. Getting monthly shoutouts from my two-year company! I mean, from EA turned Social Media Manager (still am), but I’m officially promoted to Operations Manager and CRM master now. What. A. Plot twist. Totally unexpected from my kuripot boss. Hahahaha.

2. I convinced my client to directly hire four of the VAs under my team! And on top of that, we’re preparing to become an agency ourselves. Guess who’s doing the initial interviews now? TF. Ahahaha. FRIENDS, HERE WE GO. THIS IS IT.

3. On my second client, it’s been tough project-managing an Amazon content team. We’re actually the largest team under our company! Still debating if I should step back from it after my promotion from my other client. tbh, It’s really testing my inner peace.

Side note: we’re getting a lot of Amazon impressions through content, but yeah… not sure if I should keep handling it or pass it on.

4. I miss my friends. Lately, it feels like my entire life revolves around building my career. Realized I’ve been too invested in work that I barely have time to actually live it with them.

5. After years of living alone, I finally decided to get my own Christmas tree. My first one ever. It’s on its way!

6. Discovered the best midnight food ever: HAPILEE. Absolute game changer.

7. My cats are literally evolving… they’re eight now. Feels like I’m raising a small army of children.

8. My Iboy insisted on buying me an air purifier and dehumidifier…..best gift ever. Totally worth it. I swear I’m breathing real air now. Hahahaha

9. Got myself an ombre brow tattoo. Now I wake up with sassy brows every day. Still hurts though.

10. Lastly, so proud of my Iboy for pulling 5 digit commission from tiktok affiliating. I’m taking notes, dear.

Now, I’m at a point where I’m done with the drama. I just want to focus on my own growth; whether that’s in work, in my personal life, or in relationships.

Pulling myself out of everyone’s radar these past few months has really helped me see who I am and who I want to become. I know not everyone will understand the path I’m taking, and that’s fine.

I just hope the people who left a piece of themselves in me stay with me in some way, and that the lessons they shared continue to live in me.

Sometimes I catch myself laughing at how seriously I take everything—like, really? Why am I like this?

But honestly…

I’m proud.

Because somewhere along the way,

these skills I used to chase

started to live in me.

Now they just flow—like second nature.

Starting a new relationship? That’s no walk in the park.

Starting a business? That takes grit.

Joining a new company? It comes with challenges.

Renovating a home? That’s a journey.

Starting anything new-yeah, it’s hard.

But guess what?

I’m built for hard things. And so are you.

Don’t stress about the future or what it may hold.

so deeply,

that i never felt the need

to search for someone else.

you kept showing up—

not always perfectly,

but always in a way that felt real.

modern. tender.

and the things i forgot to do

the pieces of myself i tucked away,

i’ve started doing them again.

not for anyone,

just because being loved by you

made me remember who i was.
