My name is Angeline Joies Alfaro, and this is where I share pieces of my childhood, my memories, and the moments that helped shape who I am today. For those who want to look back, smile, or laugh at the silly things I’ve done—whether you’re family, friends, just curious, or even me (haha)—this is for us ig.

Here, you’ll find photos, and a glimpse into the things that have influenced me—those simple moments that continue to live on in my heart and hopefully with this it will continue on to do so.

Speaking of birthdays, the picture at the top is from her 75th birthday, with me in pink, excited for my turn at the games. Looking back, I realize how much I miss those moments—and the people who made them so special.

Here’s a picture from a time when my heart was as big as my jealousy. I was four years old, and this picture was taken during my sister’s 7th birthday. She wore a beautiful princess dress, and all I could think was, “I want that too!” I demanded to wear a dress like hers and threw quite a tantrum when I saw my sister my sister open her gifts out of jealousy—so much so that I accidentally hit one of my mom’s coworkers in the process.

Looking back, I realize that my jealousy stemmed from something deeper—my sister had heart problems, and so much of the focus and attention went to her. I didn't understand it then, but as I grew older, I realized my family never lacked anything. My family’s love and attention were never in short supply, and I wasn’t any less cherished. Over time, I learned that sometimes, love isn't divided—it multiplies.
