My baby sister is my happiness. Whenever I am with her my stress and anxiety goes away. I feel that I can breathe easy and relax when I am with my safe-space, my family. It is very consoling to be with them this quarantine period because they always make me remember that I can turn to them whenever I am at my lowest.

In this new-normal, it is very easy to become distracted from your tasks. I had to make an adjustment for myself to become more focused in my academics compared to my gaming and social life because I lacked time. Whenever I go to my study mode, I always feel 0 anxiety because I am prioritizing what I feel is best for me and I also feel that this is what God wants me to do.

Back when there was no pandemic/ECQ, I used to attend Youth Services every Friday. In Youth Services, we do kamustahans and have a short lecture about Bible Studies. I was able to become and also feel closer to God because I was happy in a way that I did not feel any stress.

Every time I feel stressed from school work, chores, and friends, I turn to working-out so that I can breathe and put my stress away. This also helps me reflect and be thankful in general with the things that I receive and experience in order to become a better person.

Before, I used to stress eat when I feel pressure. However now, I don't eat. I feel sad and depressed when too much pressure from requirements come at me head-on, so I choose to feel pain in other ways to alleviate the stress from these pressures. This puts me in desolation in a very bad way coming to think about it because I am seeing that I am self-harming myself just to alleviate the pressure.

In this new-normal, we have so much homeworks and projects that have to be done and submitted at an assigned date. Minsan, nagkukumpulan ang mga requirements kasi sabay-sabay inilabas o inassign. Instead of going to my study mode to avoid CRAMMING, I choose to nap sometimes and end up doing the tasks the next days after that. Every time I cram due to excess napping, I feel anxiety and pressure to finish my tasks.

I am a person who naturally worries a lot. As in a lot. Whenever my parents tell me to think about my future, college requirement deadlines, friends calling me for certain problems, etc, I overthink. It is very challenging when I overthink instead of reflect because instead of brushing away anxiety, I am welcoming it.

After listing these consolations and desolations, I feel  I am moving closer to God. However, I feel that sometimes trying to move closer can be a challenger instead of a blessing because of the pressure and anxiety that become obstacles in my path towards Him.

However, it is easy for me to just run over these obstacles because God and my family are always there for me .

Dear Lord, Thank you for being here for me whenever I need you and even when I am at my lowest. This path has been tough, but it has taught me a lot. Thank you. Amen.
