First admit that you are unhappy. Then admit why. Then understand you need to let go. Allow yourself a moment. Breathe in the moment deeply. Then the healing will begin.

TODAY I WAS FATSHAMED.
As we were on our way home we were walking alongside two girls. I didn't even know them. My mom and sister were walking too slow and I'm carrying Arya so I decided to overtake the two girls. When I was infront of them they were talking a dialect that I didnt know. I just hear a familiar word "ka-cute oh" I think they are referring to Arya. And I just continued walking. I stopped in the corner of the street when I heard Mama and Baby talking. Baby : "Payat sila kasi wala silang makain" Me : "Oh bakit?? anong nangyari?" Mama : "Di mo naririnig kasi nasa unahan ka.." Baby : "yung mga babae pinaguusapan ka.. pinagtatawanan ka kasi mataba ka.. hindi mo naman sila kilala.. ni-hindi mo naman sila inano... kala mo sila kung sino. Payat lang sila wala naman silang talino." (I was shocked. It was my first time to be fatshamed by strangers or maybe it was my first time to hear it) Me : "Pabayaan mo na.. pagod na ako.. uwi na tayo" (Of course my mom got mad and tried to defend me so she said out loud) Mama : "Tayo kasi may pang-kain. Nakakakain ng masarap. Baka sila hindi" Me : "Tara na.." To be honest. I'm not mad. I just feel sad for those girls. Maybe all they have is their body. Studies show that there is a link between low IQ and judgmental behavior. So those girls are probably just uneducated. To those girls. Be sure that you're perfect before you judge a person. You're right, I'm fat. But this is not something that I'm ashamed of because I didn't choose this. I have PCOS. Polycistic Ovaries. It was 2013 when I was diagnosed with it. The meds that I had to take cause me to gain weight. Fast. By 2017, I gained about 25 kilos. I didn't choose to have PCOS. It is something I cant control. There are times that I think I was being tested as I often find myself asking God "Why me?". It's hard. Especially so when we're trying to concieve since PCOS can cause hormonal imbalance that prevents women from getting pregnant. At that time, I was ready to start my own family but my body wasn't 😢😢😢 It's a struggle. So before you judge or fatshame someone, try to think of the battle that they're fighting. Being fat is not wrong or something to be ashamed of. We are created the way we are supposed to be. So to everyone out there, whether your fat or skinny, remember to respect others and love the body you're in! #BodyPositivity #NotoBodyShaming #PCOS

Not all toxic people are cruel and uncaring. Some of them love us dearly. Many of them have good intentions. Most are toxic to our being simply because their needs and way of existing in the world force us to compromise ourselves and our happiness. They aren’t inherently bad people, but they aren’t the right people for us. And as hard as it is, we have to let them go. Life is hard enough without being around people who bring you down, and as much as you care, you can’t destroy yourself for the sake of someone else. You have to make your wellbeing a priority. Whether that means breaking up with someone you care about, loving a family member from a distance, letting go of a friend, or removing yourself from a situation that feels painful — you have every right to leave and create a safer space for yourself.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.
