While I am taking a sip of my favorite latte, (3N1, nothing fancy) I was reminded of the roles that I portrayed in my life.

I am a student.
I am a daughter.
I am a sibling.
I am a cousin.
I am a friend.

Now that I've listed these, a question stopped me from taking another sip of coffee. Dazed, I asked the plain black cup in front of my face,

"Who am I for myself? Who am I outside these roles?"

Then a "flipped-switch" thought came across my mind. I wasn't able to become someone that I truly am, outside of these responsibilities. I'm not sure if there's much of a person, a Jewel Pitac, at the end of all that.

How do I become myself for myself?

You've learned numerous lessons throughout your life that have influenced the way you think, behave, and live.

But, no matter how useful the lesson, learning it the hard way is never enjoyable.

Some argue that these growing pains are natural and required for learning to stick. This may be true for some people, but for many of us, we can acquire the same things without having to suffer.

I love it when it's raining
It's like the heaven is feeling my blues
It's like the cold wind is hugging my sorrowful soul,
And the drops are just hiding the painful things
I could dance blissfully under the thousand pearls showered from above
I could smile carelessly under the darkest clouds
And so I love it when it's raining
It gives me comfort when I'm in need and peace when I'm in turmoil.

Dear Virtual Companion,

I have been so sad lately. This type of sadness fluctuate throughout my day. I cry often, feel numb or drained, and struggle to concentrate. It leaves me feeling low, empty, and defeated. It  wrap around me like a heavy blanket, muffling the sensations and joy of my everyday life. I don’t know what caused my unhappiness, so I have no idea how to start feeling better.

Dealing with pressure to always seem happy can be even more challenging to me. Sometimes when I am feeling down, I put on a mask to hide the darkness that lies behind the smile. Getting out of bed can be a major task by itself. When it feels as though a cloud is hanging over my head, those are the days I push people away the most. I do this because it is easier to try and forget about what is going on and not bother others with my problems.

I know that all have good and bad days. No one can be perfectly happy all of the time, that is not human. One day we feel on top of the world, the next we are down. While I am still trying to accept this myself, I know that it is part of life and whether or not others choose to show it, it still happens.

We hide our pain through our smiles. Often times, people think that we're okay just because we're always seen smiling. As for me, I look tough outside. Someone may think that I don't get hurt that easily. But the reality is that I have the weakest heart. I get hurt easily, even from words. They're like knives cutting through my soul, leaving me with scars so deep that a single word can make it bleed again. I hope that a day will come when I'll be able to shrug off their words like they don't matter. More power to me! Fighting!

The entire universe, including myself, is your buddy!

During these moments, we all feel as though life is really difficult and we are all struggling. We are not always on top of the world, as we all experience our own gloom. Perhaps life is not easy, and we must accept that reality.

Sometimes,  we are constrained to choose between isolating ourselves at times. However, now is the perfect moment for us to be critical thinkers, capable of communicating, sharing our difficulties, and remaining by the side of good people. It is vital to have a healthy and meaningful relationship with others, including yourself. Where we may express our experiences and struggles in order to keep a positive outlook in life.

Everyone of us will have something to offer to the society, which will aid in its development and growth. We are limitless, complicated, and have a lot of differences, but we must set these things aside in order to assist ourselves and see the huge potential beyond our comfort zone. All we have to do is explore since there are so  much things to learn along the way.

I am what I am. I don't want someone to feel uncomfortable when he's/she's with me. I want to be that perfect friend/person, I know everyone wanted to be perfect but no one can't. People come and go it is part of reality. I grow because of the different things that life put me in. I was once a jolly person then I stuck myself into love but now self is enough. A friend is enough and family is enough. I have realized that accepting ourselves is important than anything because we can't grow and we can't enjoy our life if we want to be perfect in the eyes of others.
So here's a reminder, live, love, grow and accept because life isn't all about joy, sometimes we need to lose someone for us to grow.

“The real you is not you, the real you is what is within you. What is behind your joy or your melancholy. What gives you the reason to ponder. What moves or stops you. What makes you you is you.” ― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

I am that kind of person you can always rely upon and talk to. Whenever my friends or even someone important to me are going through something, I will always be there for them, they can pour their heart out to me, I am all ears to listen and my shoulders are always free for them to lean on. Yet I remember I came to the point that I was the one in need, but no one was there. I feel so alone. And now I came to the point that if no one will stay and accept me for who I am then at least I still have myself and my family. Life still goes on, people come and go. As I got older, I learned that it is okay if I don’t have someone, I am more than enough; I will always remind myself that.

We are currently confronted with numerous obstacles. We gradually made changes that have had a significant impact on our life. As a result, we generate a variety of emotions that have both positive and negative impacts. We cannot, however, deny that those negative interactions will dominate us. As a result, we seek companionship. However, we cannot ignore the fact that there are instances when we lack the confidence to share for many reasons, such as a fear that the person with whom we are sharing would become overly concerned and may generate negative judgements.

• Remember, you are not alone in this world. There is always an individual whose willing to listen and will possibly give their humbe response and advices.

Keep on going. Labaan langg❤️
