Here are some of my favorite recent photos of me! I love it when pictures like these show my genuine happiness, like how you can see my smile isn't fake. It actually captures the essence of that moment. Through photos like these people can already interpret and see what type of person you are, what your vibes are, and assume your personality.

Oh! and I am an Aries baby, born on March 30, 2008 which currently makes me 16 years old. My favorite color is the same as the coat I'm wearing in the picture :> (and if you can't tell, its green)

When I was a kid I used to get made fun of for my “weird” eyes because it was "different" according to them but now I fully embrace it! I’m actually half arab and I was born in United Arab Emirates, Dubai, yessirrr habibi come to Dubai🤞😍

i love swimming too, not competitively though just as a fun little activity/hobby. I'm the type to say yes to any laag as long as there's swimming involved.

I do shooting aswell. I've delt with long and short range guns and never use attachments when shooting to not rely on them. My favorite assault rifle to shoot with is the M16 for better long range and M13 for close to mid range. As for pistols i've only dealt with glock 19 and colt 1911 but they're both reliable for self defense and its easy to use. I'm exposed to shooting because of my step father who serves the military.

I'm a devoted scout and i love camping and hiking. I joined the 18th National Scout Jamboree held in Iloilo Passi City but sadly that was the last of my scouting journey since for now I'm focusing on my new academic path in addu. If i had the chance to experience scouting all over again I'd do it a hundred times because the memories are priceless.

I served in different organizations all with the purpose of "cultivating plants and providing a greener future". These are school based organizations but we've traveled a lot to participate in activities likes forest watch, coastal drives, tree planting, etc.

I like to ice skate! I was always brought to the ice rink during my childhood until it became a hobby of mine though as i grew up it became from skating frequently to only ice skating when im on vacation during summer. Can't wait to be back

I'm actually a soft-hearted person despite my intimidating look. Knowing my weaknesses i sometimes wonder how I did not get my mother's mentality and characteristics, regardless she finds ways for me to learn and fully develop my potentials.

i used to be a majorette in my junior highschool and elementary days. I'm also always up for a challene because i love experiencing the thrill and rush of joining competitions so I've been in multiple contests. Recent competitions I've been in were in my last year of jhs which was the science quiz bowl held in mapua, STEMazing research paper contest, debating contests, extempo speech, and a singing contest as well that was just part of our school event. As of grade 11 here in ADDU i'm not that exposed anymore aside from the NSTW and CTK events but if the right time and opportunity comes i'll certainly take it.

I'm a girl who tries to find ways to lighten up dark situations and i cope with humor and listening to music. I'm a soft-hearted person despite of how i look and act, i deeply care for people who are significant in my life whether that being family or friends. I'm particular with receiving even little acts of care, respect, and love as it really does make a difference for me and it means a lot. I like to observe and read people, mostly to try and better myself and adjust to different people. I love and prioritize my family and I am grateful for everything I am and everything i have. I don't know how expressive with my feelings at times especially vocalizing my appreciation which i get misunderstood a lot on for being ungrateful but it really is the opposite, i'd be giggling and kicking my feet in happiness when im alone and im the type of person who remembers even little details.

Hi uy. It’s me—you—Ameera, writing from a tiny moment in time that feels both overwhelming and electric. I am currently also writing this in one take so this is just pure and raw content I am producing and since I love expressing through writing I guess this will be easy enough.

It’s 2025, and I’m 17. A Grade 11 STEM Pre-Sci student in Ateneo de Davao, halfway between burnout and brilliance, living in a boarding house with a head full of dreams and a heart trying to stay soft despite everything.

Right now, I’m learning so many things—not just from books or research, but from life.

I’m learning how to carry myself. How to be alone but not lonely. How to say no without guilt and how to say yes without fear. I’m learning that some people come back into your life when you least expect it—and maybe, just maybe, it’s not a coincidence. (You know who I’m talking about.) I’m learning that I don’t need to shrink to be loved, and that my emotions—even the ugly, messy, bruised ones—still deserve to be seen.

School’s tough. STEM be STEMing. Deadlines are everywhere, my skin breaks out when I’m stressed, and sometimes I forget to drink water because I’m too busy overthinking. But I’m also learning discipline—not the harsh kind, but the self-respecting kind. I’m finding comfort in routines, and I’m slowly building a version of myself who doesn’t abandon herself when things get hard. Who still shows up, even if she’s limping.

Emotionally, I’ve been healing in ways I didn’t know I needed. I’m becoming more aware of what makes me me—my intuitiveness, my empathy, my ability to read people, to care deeply and notice what others miss. I’m proud of that. I’m no longer hiding my depth just to be “easier” to understand.

But I’m also still scared. Scared of failure. Scared that I won’t be enough. Scared that I’ll never fully know if I’m on the right path. And I guess that’s what I want to tell you, future me—don’t forget how hard you fought to become who you are now. Don’t belittle the battles just because you outgrew the battlefield.

I hope that by the time you’re reading this, you’re still someone who’s curious. I hope you’re still asking big questions, still unlearning and relearning. I hope you’re in a place where your passions aren’t just dreams anymore, but something real and alive. I hope you’re surrounded by people who speak your name with kindness and who match your effort. And if you’re not, I hope you have the strength to walk away.

I hope you haven’t forgotten the girl who used to dance alone in her room to feel free. Who wiped her own tears at night but still showed up for everyone the next day. Who carried her younger self on her back and kept going. She is you. She made you.

Don’t ever be embarrassed of how far you’ve come, even if your pace was slow. Progress is still progress. Healing is still healing.

And hey, if you’re ever doubting yourself again—reread this, and remember: you are not behind, you are becoming. One version of you dreamed of the life you’re living now.

Take care of that girl. She deserves everything.

Love,

Ameera (17, but wise as hell 😌)

P.S. If Gab’s still around, tell him thanks for helping you believe in magic again. If he’s not, that’s okay too. You learned love, softness, and timing, and that’s enough <333

Even if i don't remember everything, i know this stage shaped how safe and comforted i felt in my first years in life. Learning how, who, and when to trust. I remember always being fond of animals though.
