"Lead and Follow"

"My kind of love" My kind of love is... A love that is unconditionally. A love that is given not forced. A love that inspires me to keep doing good things. A love that made me love my God more A love that make me love my self more. A love that could open my eyes to the possibilities in life. A love that makes me step out of my comfort zone. A love that is simple but unique. A love that make me take risk. A love that tells me to love my parents more and always. A love that is like stated in the 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 And love that made me love other people unconditionally. And a love that proves me that there is FOREVER

Since I’m a young adult and my studies gets very harder every time I move to the next level and I have to cope with my self for the changes that will happen since I’m about to turn 18. Stress is not knew to me anymore and so as my change of emotion, as i grow older I start to learn on how to manage my stress and my emotion. In managing my emotions what I did is as follow: 1. Try to know what is the reason why are you stress to that thing 2. Even that emotion is so stressful still always be on the positive side 3. Talk to someone you are closed to release the emotions that your are carrying 4. Don’t overthink everything because it will make you more stressful 5. Give your self a break by being alone for just one moment 6. Reflect on the things that made you stress 7. Find a way to overcome your emotions 8. Pray to God and ask for guidance 9. And lastly DON’T FORGET TO LIVE, sometimes because of emotions that made you stress, you already forget how to live by just focusing on the things that made you stress and forget that you are already missing a big happenings and moments that had happen in your life.

"Dear Ate/Kuya"

✔️My other way of relieving stress is “food” I eat a lot to reduce my stress and also to reduce hatred. When ever I get scold by my parents what i did is instead of talking back what i did is I just eat a lot and put my anger to the food. I always pick food that are so delicious or else i cook because when ever i get to taste food my anger lifted in my mind and just focus with the taste of the food.

Being a successful woman someday is long been my dreams in life. I want to have a work where I would be able to help my parents and have a money of my own to buy my own needs and to be ready to build my own family someday. Seeing my parents living in a simple life has been my goals in life too I want to live in a life that is simple and less complicated for me there are 3 things that I want to achieve someday and those are 1) to travel around the world 2) to have successful career 3)living in a happy life that is guided by God. I want to live in a life that is full of memories, fun and adventure. If there is one thing I learn in life and that is “make the most out of it.”

Self: No matter what happen I will always be here for you. Just always pray to God and never lose hope. I know you’re facing a tough time but i know you will get through this just be positive.                

Being a teenager it is the time when a teenager faces a lot of things and its is the most important time a person needs his/her friends the most but suddenly i failed to fulfill my job as a friend to my friends, I chose not to be with my friends in the time when they especially need me most its because how can I comfort someone when even my self is in pain also. I’ve become an insensitive person due to my past experiences because I am so tired caring for someone when in the end the person I love the most will be the same person who will hurt me the most. Now I have this kind of attitude to choose not to care to avoid more damages. And I felt sorry for my friends because I can’t be the friend they’d wish for.

As you can see my mandala is composed of many colors, especially colors that are bright. Before when I’m asked to compare my self to any kind of things I would always compare my self to a crayon because a crayon has many different colors, colors that are bright and colors that are dark, it is how I see my life colorful just like a crayon there are dark time and there are bright times. But now it is in a different way, I need to express and show what i am through the look of my mandala, i use many colors because the way i see in life it is never simple or singular. The reason why there are less dark color like black its because I tend not to mind the things that can brought darkness into my life because black color can cover any color but it is only white color that can cover the black color. Look always on the bright side because good will always prevail.      

“Life is very interesting. In the end, some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths.” Living in a world that is full of ups and downs has made me strong and molded me to who I am and what I am now. Life is full of trials and full of darkness but only those who are brave enough to fight will win the battle.
