I was once a shy person and a loner ever since I always dreamed of having a perfect life and a world that everybody understands me without judging me first, but you see as I continue to explore and continue to grow, I realized one thing that Life isn't a race and God has always had a great plan for me and all I need to do is wait and believe in him.
Hello hive peeps! How are you today? Are you ready to know my own story on how I become a strong woman? and how I handle all those struggles in life that I've experience? But before that I want you all to know that you are loved every day and God is always with you. If you ever feel like no one understand you just pray, and God will listen and if you need someone to talk to, I'm here.
When I was 5 years old, I remember it clearly, I often see my mother because despite of my young age she needs to sacrifice and work far from us. I was in kindergarten when my mom left and during those time my Mama La/ grandmother is the one who takes care of me during the graduation my tita is the one who come up with me to the stage and it continue until I'm in my first grade and so on but here's the plot twist I almost forgot that I have a younger sister since my father and sister are not living with us but my dad and mom are not separated it just happened to be that way my sister ask me "who are you?" at that time, I didn't feel anything but now that I'm matured enough, I cry because how come it happened right?
Fast forward to my High School life, I was bullied when I was in 7nth grade they always say, "you're so small", "you're so ugly" and other mean word that I don't want to recall anymore. Let me share my photos when I was in grade school.

That's me and it just click in my head why I experience being bullied by the people around me. But I'm not that ugly but why? It was the first time that I cried and hate myself for being like that but it's fine now. Thanks to them I am now a stronger person, and I don't question myself anymore because I realize that I'm not the problem.
Let me share my new version of myself.
