Covid and how it changed me
It’s been almost three months since I got sick from Covid-19. But the journey I had, the trauma, the sleepless nights, the fear – everything’s still fresh. Everything still feels as if it happened yesterday that I still cry about it. Sometimes, I beat myself by overthinking. How come I haven’t gotten over this yet? I’ve healed, and I’m safe, and so is my family. … Continue reading Covid and how it changed me
Keep going.
Keep going even when you doubt yourself. Every single on of us must have had doubts whether we’ve got what it takes to get through the day or not. And yet, here we are. Still thriving, still surviving. You’ve proved yourself wrong already. Many many times before.

A letter to my friends for when I seem distant
Dear friends, if I haven’t told you anything that’s heartbreaking or crippling, it is not because I don’t trust you or find your support unhelpful. And it’s not because I don’t value our friendship. Forgive me if and when this happens. It simply means I am not ready to talk about my feelings, and my heart is just not ready. I hope you’ll understand me. … Continue reading A letter to my friends for when I seem distant
Today is the day you chase your dreams, not tomorrow.
Stop waiting for tomorrow. Stop waiting for tomorrow when you’re about to chase your dreams. Chase them now. There’s no reason to wait for the day when you make the first step closer to your dreams. We don’t always have to start big. We can start small. The first step doesn’t always have to be a life-changing leap. Because chasing your dreams doesn’t work that … Continue reading Today is the day you chase your dreams, not tomorrow.
10 things I want to let go by the time I reach 30
In a recent conversation I had with a friend who just turned 30, she asked me what were the things I would want to let go of when I reach that certain age.

Your soft heart is not your fault.
Your soft heart is nothing to be ashamed of. It is not your fault. Toxic people will call you clingy, over sensitive, needy or too emotional. They will make you feel that your soft heart is your weakness and your negativity. What’s worse is that they’ll twist your perception into believing that you are in the wrong for having a soft heart. Toxic people won’t … Continue reading Your soft heart is not your fault.
The day she walks out of love.
She did not just wake up in the middle of the night and decided to stop loving you. The feeling did not disappear over hours of sleep. It was a long process. A painful one. From being all over you to just having you around as a routine. From filling her mind with thoughts of you to you just becoming a habit. Maybe it was … Continue reading The day she walks out of love.
When you don’t always get what you prayed for
Sometimes, it’s a gift or a blessing when you don’t get what you prayed for. Looking back, I felt grateful that some of the things I prayed for didn’t happen. If they did, I wouldn’t be where I am now. Worse, those things could’ve ruined me. I’ve come to realize that when God didn’t answer my prayers, He wasn’t rejecting me but redirecting me. He … Continue reading When you don’t always get what you prayed for

A love letter to the independent person who feels like giving up
On some days, I know you wish to wake up with lesser things to worry about: your job, your chores, your responsibilities, and etc. You wish your mind would go on vacation and just get the rest that it needs. You wish your body gets a break. Because for the most part, you are always running around to get what needs to be done. This … Continue reading A love letter to the independent person who feels like giving up
