I don't remember anything from my life as an infant, however, my parents have told me countless stories.

For one, my parents have always thanked God for ensuring a safe birth for me. Because when I was about to be birthed, the doctors realized that the umbilical cord that was attaching me to my mother was starting to choke me inside her stomach, as it was tied to my throat. Due to this, the doctors had to cut my mother's stomach open instead of going through the traditional route. Despite this, I was a healthy baby and had no complications other than that during my birth.

During my early childhood, I had curly hair until my Lola straightened it out with conditioner. During this time, I was clueless and just starting to get to know my passions and talents.

I, along with literally all my relatives, learned that I had a talent for singing at a very young age.

During my preschool stage, I can say that this was the era I have vivid memories of being treated like an actual princess. I was spoiled and pampered, always given gifts and things I liked, and I remember developing an interest for all things cute and girly during this time.

I had many childhood friends, some still with me, but some, I barely even know anymore. I lived in a condominium and my parents always took me with them to trips.

I was happy, especially with my Lola constantly supporting me. My Lola was the one who pampered me the most.

Furthermore, during this stage, my reign of chaos and brattiness was at its peak. However, this did not change the fact that I was still clueless and naive to the world and often fell victim to many dirty tricks by my peers.

During my elementary stage, I still vividly remember drinking out of a baby bottle during this time and only stopped when I was about to reach adolescence.

I was still spoiled and bratty at this time. However, I was already the eldest of two baby sisters at this time. I remember this being my ultimate gamer era where I played games on websites and my father and mother's gadgets.

During the early years of my adolescence, I was still trying to figure things out.

Reality already hit me, but I was still in denial and I coped through unhealthy coping mechanisms. I did a lot of things that I admittedly still regret doing, but have given me life lessons that will stay with me forever.

During this, it also gave me memories that will never go away. Memories that both make me want to go back to the past and erase the past at the same time.

Hence, the end of my bratty era, and the start of my relationship and journey with God.

Now, I am 17 years old turning 18 this October 1.

I can honestly say that my life has been a wild ride, no matter how much I try to deny it. I may cringe and try to erase the past I've left behind, but I must learn to accept it for what it is because it has become a part of me now. It has shaped me and developed me in a lot of ways, and has given me insights and wisdom, which is a nice gift after everything I've been through.

Now, I am constantly improving. I am a consistent top student with consistent honor awards, joining in organizations and student bodies, and constantly improving in all aspects in life.

While I still wonder what could have been, I realize that staying on that thought is futile, because I am living in the now, and I am thriving.

And I must accept and love myself for who I am now. Because in truth, the Riona's in the previous stages would be so proud and amazed to realize where they are now.

I am grateful that despite everything I've been through, I am here now striving and doing better than ever before. Life has been tough, irritating, and challenging, however, I believe that with fortitude and excellence, I can strive and better myself each passing day. Although I have gone through so much good and bad, I am grateful for every single experience I've gone through as they have all shaped me in ways that have helped me see life differently. Furthermore, these experiences have also taught me valuable lessons and insights, contributing to my wisdom and knowledge. I may have flaws and negative attributes, however, I am working towards bettering myself each and every day for a better me and a better future. My past, although I have yet to accept it in full, is still my past, and I acknowledge that I must come to full terms with it.
