Writing is not really my passion but I found myself scanning through this platform and surprisingly I was inspired to write and to share what I've got. It thrilled me to let the world know that I also exist, that I have something in me that could also encourage others to be the best versions of themselves.
And by the way, HIVE was introduced by the nephew of my partner shout out to her @missbeauté. Thanks to her because here, I can express who I really am.
Well, who am I really?
I am an Aries born on 1992 in Cebu, Philippines. I'm the second child of 10. At the very young age, I uncover the real world, the reality of a living. Life is not that easy, either you're rich or poor it has no exemptions. When I was 5, my mom already taught me the household chores which I was able to use that skill in helping my parents to put food on our table. At the age of 7, I can still remember I started going to my grandparents on weekends (that's every weekend) to clean their house, in exchanged, they would gave me money and food for my family. On those moments, I'm the happiest because atleast I was able to ease the burden my parents were going through.
Growing up, I was a shy type person, I'm not confident with myself not even comfortable talking with others whom I little known of. I was really having a hard time going out of my comfort zone, and I don't want to go through that anymore because I feel so alone and isolated.
When I went to College, I was still the same person as before, timid and scared to socialize with others. Until one day, I found a company, an inspiration and most especially real friends, my best of friends not only one but twins. Out of nowhere we found each other, who would have thought they would like me, a person who was very silent and lonely will caught their attention. An ordinary me, unlike them they were one of the smartest in our school. But the battle of my inner self did not stop there, I faced a lot of struggles mentally, emotionally and financially but God is always with me. I never doubt his way/plan of getting me to the right place.
As time goes by, a lot of things happened I did not finished college but it did not stop me to dream big. One day in the year 2013, I found myself in front of a call center building which made me so anxious but in the back of my head "I need this, not only for my family but for myself as well, to grow as a person and to uncover what I can offer in this lifetime."
From shyness to confidence, I was able to conquer my fear.
From nobody to somebody, I was a consistent top agent of our account. I also got the opportunity to be part of a client meeting in our company, which I was very proud of, since it surprises me to know that they already knew me before introducing myself to them.
Well, that is just the beginning of my life story but wait there's more...
When I and my sisters started working and getting a good salary, my life, our life was changed a little bit. We were able to purchase appliances, getting more groceries and even celebrated birthdays to a restaurants or having a small salo-salo (party) in our home. I thanked the Lord because we were getting there, getting what we want for our family. I have never stopped praying and trusting his will because I know if you put God in the center of everything you would never go wrong.
Until one day of 2015, the biggest turning point of my life, I would say a wrong turn maybe? hehehe kidding aside. I found my other half, my first and would be my last boyfriend. The father of my two little bunnies, my forever babies.
Our relationship at first was almost perfect, we travel together, we laugh but we also fight. Just like other relationships we also encounter ups and downs especially when I gave birth to our first born, mentally, emotionally and financially we struggled. A lot of things changed, MOTHERHOOD really hits me hard. There was a time after I gave birth with my first born through Caesarian Section, my child was diagnosed to have Pneumonia. I was so frightened, I can't even sleep at night because I'm afraid what will happened next, seeing my child wearing a nasal cannula made me so weak. It was a nightmare for me, Imagined it was my first pregnancy I was expecting a healthy baby because I was very careful with my health when he was in my tummy. But I've realized if I won't fight this anxiety, how about my child? So I keep praying and God never fails me, after two weeks in the hospital my baby was discharged and now he is turning 5 years old this year. Then after 2 years, I had my second pregnancy, it's still a boy and a healthy baby. I have now two little bunnies that brighten up my days, everyday.
But life struggles will always be present for us to be strong, to be more mature and to remind us always that we are never alone, He is always with us even in the hardest times.
On July 2020, I was sick because of too much work in the office and as a mother. I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. I thought I won't get through this disorder, but my bunnies are my light in my darkest hour. They are my strength but also my weakness too. Being a mother, really taught me so many things, and the most important lesson I've learned so far is that I am stronger than I have ever imagined. I was able to overcome and conquer every challenges that I've been through as a mother and as a woman. I have become more resilient and persevered more. I won't give up easily no matter what obstacles comes our way, I will stand tall and face it bravely for my children.
Now, I am opening a new chapter here in HIVE. I am looking forward to read all your blogs to discover and to learn. I am grateful to this platform because it allows me to express myself through writing which I never imagine that I can do, I know my writing is not perfect but I know I will be able to acquire knowledge here in HIVE. It will be a long way for me but I can do this, I will show the world what I've got.
I hope that someone will also be inspired with my story, like I was with theirs.
