My name is Mariane Lyka M. Sebua. People usually call me "Mar" or "Yan" as it is easier to pronounce. I am currently 16 years old turning 17 this 6th of September! and I am a grade 12 STEM Pre Science student of Ateneo de Davao Senior High planning to take BS Psychology for college!

⌞likes & dislikes!⌝

The things I like includes anything pink, flowers, listening to music, doing makeup, shopping, traveling, and watching movies!

Meanwhile the things I dislike include insects, Philippine heat!, spicy foods, and seeing my favorite people sad :(.

Until next time! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

good luck to our journeys!

Below you will see the different stages I have been through! Take your time to watch me grow ♡

In this stage, I am still very small and fragile, I am not really a huge fan of people since I do not like the noise and because I am still a little baby! I am still not competent in this stage since I am not yet fully developed, however I was a very happy and cheerful baby. -`♡´-

To what I recalled and asked from my parents, during this stage I was already learning how to walk and talk! Fun fact: I learned how to walk and talk since my parents likes to keep me active and would always talk to me making me learn so quickly!

In this stage, I am still little since I am still a toddler, I also love being around people since I was exposed in such a young age (I remember that I was never shy around anyone lol), I was already learning how to be competent in this stage as I was already starting school. Additionally, I was a super playful and joyful toddler.

I was already growing an interest on dancing and drawing here!

I remember that I was so playful during these years that I fell so hard once and had a huge bump on my forehead, luckily it disappeared after a few days haha!

I was also so sociable to the point that I would dance anywhere if someone asked me too! I was NEVER shy😅

In this stage, I am a bit bigger than my toddler self yet I was still small for an elementary student since I grew very late. During these times, I started to become shy around people and was already competent since I am already able to fully think and function. I was also a super jolly and happy child during these times!

During this age, my hobbies already included dancing, drawing, and was doing so well in school! I was always an honor student :D

Additionally, this picture was taken during our field demo! I was super happy here since I got to dance and dancing was one of my favorite hobbies!

In this stage, I am already grown and pretty tall since puberty already hit me, I am mostly shy around people but usually get along with them as long as they talk to mee, I am already very competent at this age and is pretty independent. I am also very happy and energetic but sometimes also sad since its something we couldn't avoid especially when growing up.

In this age I have grown to adapt some hobbies like playing sports, dancing, designing, and so much more! I have also created a ton of relationships especially with my peers and still in touch with most of them from my first few years of high school. One fun fact about me is that I am a consistent honor student ever since the first time I started school when I was a little kid!

I am writing this to you as I wonder how will I be in the future. Currently, I am still a grade 12 student of AdDU SHS, still trying to find the right path I'm going to take in the future. I'm kind of scared that what if I fail and mess things up? Well, that's hard to assume, but I hope you're doing great.

By now I assume you grew to be a stronger version of me. I hope that you aren't too harsh on yourself knowing that I know you have been through a lot just to reach that part of your life. Do not pressure yourself on things that wouldn't really affect you okay? I am so curious on what have we accomplished!

If things get hard, please don't forget to remember where you have started. You have come a long way Mar! Don't forget the dreams we had, the people who we loved, and most especially the reasons why we started. Stay strong, and be kind to yourself. I am rooting for you! :)‪‪❤︎‬

With love,

your old self, Mar.
