In My Own World

What if you knew when your last day here on earth will be? How are you going to spend your last remaining day? I would choose to spend my last day here on earth in the simplest way possible. I want to start my day without even thinking that it will be my last. I only want to savour every moment of the day.  I am not a morning person, but if I know that it would be my last day being alive I would be willing to rise up early, so that I could witness the sun rising. It's one of the things that I haven't done, yet. After watching the sun rose, I would go for a buffet breakfast. I'm going to have a scrumptious breakfast for one last time. I rarely experience having a good breakfast, though breakfast food is my absolute favorite.  I'm going to visit a church after that. I would spend a few moments there thanking the Lord, Jesus Christ for giving me the opportunity to live my life. I'm going to thank Him for everything. I would thank Him for all the days He has given me, a...

When I was a kid I did horrible things. I did mistakes that I'm afraid I won't be able to correct anymore. I lied to few people to make myself better. I cheated not just in a quiz but in a lot of exams when I was in elementary. I stole things. I was mean to few people. These are some of the mistakes that I could remember doing when I was still a kid.  I told people lies. It was one of the ways how I made myself feel that I was better than most people. I presumed that when I made them believe of the things that I did or I had they would like me. I felt like I needed to exaggerate things about me. I didn't owe up to my mistakes. I hated to admit to people that I made a mistake or that I was wrong. I wanted to appear that I was perfect even if it meant lying to them, and even though there's no such thing as being perfect. I cheated to a lot of exams because I thought I had to always get a perfect score. If not perfect, at least I should always be second or third to the hig...

It's hard to convince our self of our worth when the people around us don't see it. Sometimes we base our self-worth from how people treat us. We tend to question our self and our capabilities. The tough part is when we come to a conclusion that perhaps they're right. We are probably worthless, useless and unlovable. When we think that people don't love us, we presume that we lack something. We devalue our self and believe in their impression of us.  When people seem to be taking us for granted, it's already time for us to take a step back. We have to breathe and remind our self that it's okay. In the end, what matters is that we know that we are doing our part. We know that we are exerting our best efforts for them, it's just that they choose to overlook it.  We can't expect other people to value us if we don't value ourselves. We don't find our self-worth from other people. We create it. We have to acknowledge what we are capable of, so that we...

Social media could either be your stress reliever or the major source of your stress. What do you do when you feel like you're being overwhelmed with what you see on your newsfeed? How do you deal when your social media suddenly become toxic? In this time of digital age, people tend to depend highly on social media.  Especially in this time of pandemic, most of us get news from social media. In one way or another, social media helped us to stay sane despite everything that's been going around the world. When you're bored, you go and browse your social media. When you want to find about someone's whatabouts, you simply go to their profile on social media. When you want to know someone's birthday, you check their social media. With only few taps here and there, you already found out a lot about someone.  It's not new to us how social media is remarkably affecting the life of most people. Not a day go by without us checking our social media. It already became an es...
