"Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed."

The hardest thing is that you given your best, yet is not enough for you to make it. I feel giving up already. I’m not into higher grades right now just pass all courses. Please, I lift it up to my lord.

Ang hirap pag maraming insecurities, nakakababa ng self-esteem.
Yung pinsan mong professional na, they can travel if they want. Stable work and high salary. Satisfied with their husband.
Tapos yung Isa, may supportive family, ginagabayan sya plus ang ganda na pa. Accounting pa, I wondered what’s in for her in the future.
Yung isa, kahit ayaw mag aral ng college, ok lang kasi kaya nyang dalhin sarili nya(independent). May attitude nga lang. At mukhang makaka tikim ng katarangyaan kasi kagagawin sya katulong/bantay nung pinsan ko(first mention up). Which is alam ko lalong yayabang dahil dun.
Heto ako, nag-aaral ngunit hindi kayang tumayo sa sarili, daming insecurities, nakadepende sa magulang, umaasa sa hinaharap, walang patutunguhan. Sad life but it’s the truth.
How are people rich in their 20s like what is that about
I’m getting tired of waking up and did the same thing all over again. It is so hard to go to school without (friends and acquaintances) motivation, and you feel like your out of place. Being an irregular students-( not having same class and classmates all the time) is hard for me. You know engaging with different personalities and characteristic (diversity) especial as an introvert. Yes I admit,I’m an introvert. I want a place with less crowded people. And to fit in the society or in a group you have to communicate to others which I lack. I indulge my self and try to fit in but I know in myself I’m not happy. I’m not anti-social, I enjoy adventures, going out with friends. It just that so hard to push yourself to engage with people that don’t like you or you don’t like. But for my dreams, for the success and for my family and myself, I am willing to surpass this flaw of mine. Sure thing when I pass this challenge in my life, I would look back and say to myself I never know I could make it.
P.S I’m writing this down to boast my confidence because who else would? It should be you! Me! It is one of my way to express how I feel right at the moment. Also it is a great practice to improve my writing and widen my thoughts and vocabulary in English. So bare with me. 😊
