02/06/2021 Choose courage. Choose peace. Choose to trust that, When things don't turn out like you expect them to, You are still becoming who you were meant to be. — MHN #cityscape #tuesdaymotivation #sonyalpha (at Bonifacio High Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLWjd10s8_Y/?igshid=a68cfdulu4ln

12/26/2020 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹, even if it is only a fraction of progress. Do not expect to get there as soon as possible, because there will be times you will have to go back to where you started or from where you last left off—it is okay. It is not a smooth trail, as you know. There will be times you will have to rest as well, because sometimes there are days harder than the others. There are moments where you will have to stop to muster the courage that you need to go through the next phase. So 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀, for as long as you know you can keep going, that’s a good enough reason for you to continue. 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹. Choose to find those better days ahead. You will eventually get there. — long excerpt from Thought Catalog's Choose To Heal, Even When It’s Difficult by Gizelle Alaba. https://thoughtcatalog.com/gizelle-alaba/2020/03/choose-to-heal-even-when-its-difficult/ (at Antipolo City, Rizal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLEi9vusPx2/?igshid=104ukryjw85h

12/29/2020 At the end of the day, I just want to be proud of the person I have become. I want to be proud of the love I gave—of the way in which I risked my heart despite being hurt. I want to be proud of the effort I showed those I cared about; I want to know with a ruthless certainty that I showed up as much as I could, that I made people feel seen, that I made those around me feel less alone in this chaotic world. I want to be proud of my life—of the way I healed, of the way I made mistakes and learned from them, of the way I felt everything even when it wasn’t convenient or comfortable. I want to be proud of the way I grew, of the way I let go, of the way I pushed myself to be a better person. At the end of the day, I just want to be able to say without hesitation that I lived my life, that I did not just take a back seat to my pain, or to my flaws, or to whatever hardships came my way. I want to be able to say that I am proud of the way I survived. I want to be able to say that I did not take one day for granted. — Bianca Sparacino #meditation #flashbackfriday #sonyalpha (at Colosboa Hills, Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK6ORU8MSvo/?igshid=17nkm3kiez2u

11/04/2020 This cold the world gave to me, Prompts me to press the dust-covered rewind. Dancing off-beat lying on the ground, Once winter comes, let’s exhale A warmer breath. — 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙂𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙊𝙣, BTS (방탄소년단)'s BE (2020) #bts #lifegoeson #sonyalpha (at Bonifacio Global City “Fort BGC” - Taguig City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIGChXoMzw8/?igshid=6vbv2vqxd7u8

01/25/2020 I know there are days when you feel like completely breaking down. Days when no part of you wants to move forward on this journey. There are days you feel tired and skeptical about every decision you make. Days when your muscles scream with soreness. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽, 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀. Sometimes, just waking up and putting the effort to make yourself a cup of coffee is strength. Sometimes, just going to school or work is strength. Sometimes, smiling when your heart splinters are strength. Sometimes just existing in a petrifying world is strength. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. It does not scream through when you lift a sword and prepare for combat. Sometimes, it peaks in those days when you lift your bag and prepare for another day at school or work. It lies in the rays of times when people disappoint you, but you never stop loving them. It radiates in those moments when a thunder of thoughts try to engulf you, but you still remain calm. I want to say that- I’m extremely proud of how strong you are. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. It comes in the nights when you keep wondering if all of this is worth it. I want you to know that, if right now you feel uncomfortable, it means you are growing. Think about the things you have overcome and be proud of it. Your battle might break you, but it has the ability to take you to pinnacles and places you never thought you would reach. 𝗦𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿. Just know that you aren’t alone. I am with you. —from Thought Catalog's 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗢𝗳 𝗔 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗜𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗜𝘁 (P.
