I didn’t know my habit of comparing myself to someone else would get this bad. I somehow liked fueling my ego, and I only realized that it really stems from my insecurity and the lack of compassion for myself. Whenever I strive for high grades, whenever I want to do better, I end up measuring my success by comparing my progress to someone else’s. I’ve come to see that it was a very serious insecurity I have, and something I need to work on. It affected my self-esteem, my productivity, my decisions, and just my daily life. Comparison is really a thief of joy. I want to be the highest, the greatest in almost everything, and it sucks me to the core when I feel like I’m just mediocre. It hurts me. I get insecure a lot. I didn’t ask for this, but why do I think this way all the time? I’m truly working on it, but why can’t this feeling go away? It sucks to have low self-esteem. It sucks to keep comparing myself. I hate this misery. I just want to be content and happy with myself. I’ve been...
Journaling wasn't really easy to incorporate into my daily routine. I know it only takes 5 minutes of my time—sometimes more, sometimes less—but it just never felt like a priority. To me, it felt more like a chore rather than something I would do naturally. So, I stopped journaling. At first, dropping it from my routine didn’t feel like a big deal. But a year later, I felt this deep need to write again—to vent, lay out my thoughts, release what I’ve been holding inside. It never crossed my mind just how important journaling was for me. During those days when I was journaling, I unknowingly felt better. My second year of college has been one hell of a rollercoaster—words can't even begin to describe everything I’ve been through. The lessons that struck me, the reality checks that hit like slaps across my face, the joy from even the smallest of achievements. It’s been a whirlwind, and the year isn’t even over yet. The new friendships I’ve formed along the way, the heartbreaks, th...
Writing this tonight while having a countdown of my birthday on my bed lol. YAY HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! MY LAST TEEN YEARRR FOR THE ENTIRE DAAYY, I ENJOYED MY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!! I wore my 50 pesos ukay dress and it looked so good to me, pairing it with my white semi-heels. We went out early to enroll in SISFU then we went straight to ayala malls manila bay to eat lunch! We were finding a good deal among the restaurants/buffets we were interested in and constantly asking for birthday promo but most of them didn't meet the requirements (such as 4+1, 5+1 stuff). It made me hurt my legs because I was wearing heels and the restaurants were from one end to another, knowing ayala malls is very wide. Food club was our first choice but we were surprised that there was a large crowd again, which is not really appetizing to dine since there will be a constant line up and siksikan in the buffet area, just like what happened on Dad's bday. A good buffet, but it wouldn't be enjo...
