Dear Self,

After my mom's sudden demise, I really have no idea where to go or what to do. You know, as a "Single", I've put all my energy and motivation to do great things in life for my parents, for Mama. So how can you move forward from that? In the past days, I just let myself get lost, dropping into a wide open, to properly mourn for Mama. I (have to) believe that mourning may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. I have to keep trying; to push through this ordeal. I can audibly hear my mom's constant reminder: "Even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living." 🙏 https://www.instagram.com/p/CgWDJHyhJsbMj0Rr1X9Ulu_NNkHxVMEIGINawE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Steering off worn, hard paths to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name, new YOU is on the way. He's making you whole again. DON'T GIVE UP JUST YET. 🙏

Dear self, Know that I've never been this proud of you. You have fought and won battles beyond what you can bear. I've seen the WORST you but was in awe how you still do your BEST to be BETTER. Despite everything, you thrive and soar on wings like eagles; you run and not grow weary. 💪 That's just you. You constantly open your mind to look at the brighter side of every circumstance. You still smile even though you’re already drowning in the depths of your emotions. You are tenacious to move on with life regardless of how difficult it is for you. For that, thank you for staying and not giving up! 🤗 https://www.instagram.com/p/CD7eEaZDz8UQRpqdCOr26UBWp5EaKH8FCnQ9wo0/?igshid=12lezy5tqrlhg

A moment of surrender. That's when freedom and peace comes and takes over your whole being. This is not WEAKNESS, but the only true measure of STRENGTH. 💪🙏 (at Basco, Batanes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-_Fh25DEebV5tS9flAqQ0c9Tb7-5wFyrxNQVU0/?igshid=1ui8hknkvttcq

Had anxiety attacks last night up to 12nn today. 😭 Thank God, my family is here to comfort me. I was able to control myself by accepting the fact that some of my plans for 2020 will not be possible anymore. 💔 It breaks my heart, but yes, God's plan will always prevail.
