Hey there! I’m Vanessa Charm A. Ylanan, but you can call me Ban for short. I’m 20 years old and still a student, figuring things out one day at a time.

I’m super into artsy stuff, drawing, painting, cooking, and baking are my jams. I also love playing games online and music is a big part of my life. I can strum a ukulele, press piano keys, and even play the guitar. Oh, and I sing sometimes, but only if no one’s looking, well, maybe a few lucky people.

If you meet me for the first time, I’m probably the shy one in the corner. But give me a little time, and you’ll see my energetic, extroverted side that loves to joke around and just vibe with people.

I make a little extra cash with my art on the side, which is awesome because it combines my passion and practicality. I was supposed to take up architecture, but life had other plans, so I ended up in a drafting course. It’s not exactly what I dreamed of, but it’s part of the journey.

I’m just someone with many dreams, hoping to turn each one into reality someday. Thanks for stopping by and getting to know me! 😊

If there’s one thing that truly scares me, it’s the thought of failing and disappointing the people I care about, especially my family. I’ve always tried to remind myself that failure is normal, even necessary. They say you can’t truly succeed without failing at least a few times. But let’s be real, that’s so much easier said than done.

Whenever I think about failure, it’s not just the act of messing up that scares me, it’s how it might affect the people who’ve sacrificed so much for me. My family has always been there, supporting me, even when things weren’t easy for them. I feel like everything I do is for them, to make them proud, to prove that their sacrifices weren’t in vain, and to someday repay them for all they’ve done.

The pressure to succeed can be overwhelming. Sometimes, the fear of failure makes me anxious, as if I’m constantly on edge. But despite the fear, I know I have to keep pushing forward. I remind myself that it’s okay to stumble. What matters is how I rise after falling. While the fear is still there, it also drives me to work harder. I just hope that one day, I can look back and say it was all worth it.

Life can be rough, let’s be honest. It throws challenges, disappointments, and moments when you just want to give up. But even during the toughest times, some things and people keep me going.

My friends play a huge role in keeping me motivated. It’s not just the ones I see every day, but also those I’ve met online. Sometimes, it’s those random late-night conversations or their encouraging words that remind me I’m not alone in this. They’ve become like a second family to me, and their belief in me gives me strength.

Of course, my family is my biggest source of inspiration. They’ve done so much to support me, and I want to make them proud. Knowing that they’re rooting for me, even when things aren’t going well, is what keeps me grounded.

Then there’s this small but powerful hope I carry in my heart, a belief that things will get better, no matter how bad they seem now. It’s not always easy to stay positive, but having people who genuinely care about you makes all the difference. They’re my reason to keep going, to keep fighting, and to never give up.

In the end, it’s the love and support from those around me that keeps me moving forward, even when life feels like an uphill battle.
