As someone who's super adventurous and eager to try new things, I decided to study and live in Manila — away from my family. It was hard at first because everything was new to me — the people, the place and even doing household chores (I didn't know how to cook rice or even do my own laundry) Sometimes I would not eat at all because I didn't have anyone to eat with me. I hate being alone. I hate doing things alone.
As time goes on, I was able to adjust and meet a lot of people. However when I was starting to enjoy and step out of my comfort zone, people were so quick to judge and assume based on what they see in social media. They dont even know the breakdowns, anxiety, sadness of living alone and pressure that I was also trying to endure. That's when I started not to care about what other people say and just continue on with my life. I realized that there's no other important thing in this world but the word of God.
Thank you, God for helping me go through everything. Thank you for your grace that enabled me to walk through the right path.
Also, big thanks to everyone — my family, friends, professors and people who became a part of this journey. Thank you for the support, motivation and for understanding my impulsive decisions. Thank you for accepting me just as how I am. It is because of all of you why I chose not to give up.
Most importantly, I want to thank the person who never left my side, the person who comforts me whenever I feel like giving up and the person who always pushed me to work harder — and that person is ME. I am beyond proud and grateful that we survived.
Thank you, Mapua!
