📸 @made.bymax U N D E R A C H I E V E R I remember in high school learning to play guitar. I watched YouTube video after YouTube video and wanted to be a singer songwriter like @gabebondoc (15 year old dreams! ) I remember showing my girlfriend at the time some stuff I learned and was met with: “I can’t believe you’d learn to play guitar. Im the one who’s been playing for 10 years and your already better than me. (Commence crying fit.) Why can’t I be better, it’s not fair that you’re better than me! “ Fast forward 5 years: Walking down the street with another girlfriend at the time having a serious conversation about how I was “too positive. You’re making me look like the bad guy. I hate always feeling like the villain, can you please just relax with being too much. It seriously makes me and people around you really uncomfortable. It’s so inappropriate. “ Going way back. Age 8 “What do you think you are? Better than all of us cause you can speak English? You’re not a real Filipino. You know nothing about your heritage. You’re not one of us. “ Fast forward to now: “I’ve been waiting for validation of self to come from an external source. God has kept me alive to do great work and none of it requires any other validity other than the one you create. It’s time for you to practice being who you’ve always been. It’s going to be weird and foreign but that’s the point. Have the faith to know it’ll turn into something so beautiful that you didn’t even know life could be this way. Shed the old stories of turning yourself down and having titles, accolades and admiration give you value. You’re playing too small still. “ It’s a disservice to yourself to not be who you are. Accountability to self is the one that matters and I know for a fact that I’ve let myself play small for sake of comfort. It’s truly cause I’m scared. Always been scared. But you can’t be courageous if you aren’t scared. So. Here’s to trusting the process of growth, unlearning other peoples narratives for your life and believing in your glow ❤️💫. ❤️ have a good Saturday ❤️ (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGLFlOdjNGl/?igshid=1oz1fki3drm1i

Practice = progress Happy Monday. What’re you guys working on? Also, I’m learning how important it is for us to celebrate ourselves and our progress as an act of self love. Definitely used to buy into being fake humble it’s not cute. If you’re dope, accept it, own it. It gives other people permission to own their light. I’m practicing. So let’s practice together 😁💫🐉👑 Also, who do you hear on this one? 😁 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrtFTfjybF/?igshid=sbuouxdr5z9d

@kotathefriend wow that was serendipitous moment.☺️ I’ve been having crazy nightmares the past couple nights. The arc of the nightmare is the same: I’m with Megan and we’re at a large gathering (concert, family event etc.) , we get separated and I spend time trying to get back to her. I get into to a cab to try and catch up but the cab driver drives the wrong way. The street signs don’t match the directions she’s giving me and i get frustrated. The cab driver then asks to make a quick stop, somewhere dark and seedy. We get out of the car and I’m In a new place around a big group of powerful people. No souls present. Just cold. Then someone escorts me to somewhere they can all watch. Then a look from the person walking with me. Then, they murder me. It’s been so vivid every night. And the same. I wrote about it and I came to the conclusion that my subconscious is confronting my fear of death. My biggest fear in the world is dying with no real love in my life, pandering to people who don’t really care, vying for their approval, in pursuit of power, status and prestige. I cried for a good amount of the day. So much of my behavior has been dictated by wanting to be accepted, loved and understood at the sake of my own individuality. Forsaking joy, play and real connection, I manipulate people into staying by my side. “At least if they kind of like me then I won’t have to die alone.” All a lie. There’s so much real love in my life. I’ve put a cap on my joy and happiness out of being rejected. I’ve also expected so much from the people around me because I expect to receive love in the way Envision it instead of the way they openly love/not love. Real love gives the chance of being accepted or rejected. I guess so much of life isn’t about arriving but revealing. We’re perfect as we are and we’re just removing all the the layers that don’t serve us. I don’t want to die and have you see someone who isn’t really me. I’ve manipulated so many people into being my friend out of fear. I promise to work on being honest and connect earnestly. Thank you @charestar for helping me grow and never giving up on what you see In me. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZwA-TDRKF/?igshid=e5t85z4xge2b

📸 @kaatsbaan This Instagram profile is not where the world is. I get caught up at look at my followers, comparing myself to my friends and their followers, their lives, their interests and the curated version of themselves. And then it leads to me buying into the notion that somehow , “I’m not good enough.” No. No. No no. This is a tool for connection and discovery and sharing. It’s not one to create more division. It’s more than a tool. And it’s not real. It’s not your whole life. It’s a tool so you can be creative and share and love and get into contact with people you love and adore. There’s so much fake shit out there. Don’t believe the hype. And don’t fall victim to your own hype. You’ll get plugged into the matrix some more and eventually you’ll become a caricature of your Social media profile. whether you have 100 followers of 40 million YOURE BEAUTIFUL AND HAVE SO MUCH VALUE. ❤️💫. That’s all. Have a great day and go love yourself the best way you know how. And once you feel good about that, go share some more love with people around you. 🌻💫 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFNHubPjn-O/?igshid=h6j28wdnwjp9
