In My Own World

If I had the ability to time travel, I would choose to go back in the past. I wouldn't change a single thing. I just want to revisit those moments when life seemed to be so easy to navigate, when everything was still smooth sailing. I would revisit my childhood, specifically. That was the time when life and especially people were so easy to deal with. I would like to go back in time when I could still justify my bad behavior, because "I am just a kid." I didn't have to think of and deal with the consequences of my actions then.  I just want to experience again what it feels like to be a child. When the hardest decision I had to make was what color I had to use on my drawing. How to be careless. No responsibilities. No expectation from myself. Not caring what other people would think if I made a mistake. Not pressuring myself to figure out how I can create a beautiful life for myself. I kinda miss those times when overthinking and PMS weren't in my vocabulary. I wa...

Forgiveness is definitely one of the hardest to give. It's easy to say that you've forgiven someone who has hurt you deeply. But the real question is how genuine the forgiving is. It's not that easy to forgive someone especially if you cannot forget the damage they did to you. It's like every time you try to convince yourself that you should forgive them, because holding a grudge isn't beneficial, what they did to you keeps replaying in your head. You know you have to forgive for your own peace of mind, but most often than not it's easier said than done. You cannot force yourself to do something you don't feel like doing. It's hard to get past something especially if it had made a great impact in your life. Forgiveness only happens when you can finally let go of the grudge you've been holding on to towards the other person. It happens when you see the person who created a scar in your heart and they no longer get on your nerves. You're not mad an...

Last November 8, 2023, I had the opportunity to visit Van Gogh Alive at BGC Arts Center in Taguig. It's an exhibit of Van Gogh's masterpieces through multi-sensory storytelling.  The exhibit opened on October 20, 2023 and will run for a limited time only. I think until December. It has been shown in other parts of the world and now it's here in the Philippines for the second time. The last time I wasn't able to catch it. So now I didn't waste any chance to visit it.  Basically, Van Gogh Alive is showcasing the masterpieces of Vincent Van Gogh and learning about his life. It has 5 areas. The first one is the Introduction Hall.  This is where you can learn or familiarize yourself about the life of Vincent Van Gogh. This is where some of his remarkable works are displayed with the story behind each of them. You can learn about his life and the struggles that he faced. About how he started painting. You can also find out his inspirations behind his beautiful creations. ...

There comes a point in a person's life when she would feel lost. She doesn't know what she's doing. She has no idea which way to go. She has a hard time processing all that's been going on around her. Oftentimes she wonder if life is still worth living. It feels like her life is in an autopilot. She's been doing pretty much the same routine every day. But no matter how lost she might feel, she keeps on going. She takes life as it is day by day. She let life surprise her with its turn of events. She's not expecting anything. She has still a lot to learn, but she's already seen enough to know that life isn't always good. She knows that bad days happen. That is inevitable. The good thing about the bad days is that she knows that better days are coming. Cause nothing is permanent.  The struggles that she has to overcome will help her succeed. She probably won't appreciate her success if she won't undergo challenges. If everything is handed to her on ...
