I've been in touch with my emotions the past days. I feel things stronger than I had been since March of last year. I actually want to cry while listening to this (I think) 7th repeat of Kathang Isip but to tell you honestly, I'm at the happiest state I've ever been since (sadyang emotera lang ako). I still cry when I miss Nanay Neri (who passed away May of last year), but overall, I am happy with where I am today. Like really.
2017 was one helluva ride. Dealt with a series of losses, but 2018 has been getting better day by day. I couldn't imagine then that this moment would come where I'd feel like a bright sunshiny day once again.
But guys, it's possible. Being happy again is possible! I can attest. I know it's hard to feel -- even think of this when you're feeling down, but let me tell you:
I've learned so much the past year and the lessons made the downfalls worth it. I have to say that I fought my way to where I am today. It starts in the mind. I had to will myself to see the sunshine amidst the storms. Each day was a struggle, every day was tough but I knew that in order to be happy, I got to be tougher. When my doubts are strong, I had to be stronger.
And when life seems to work hard to throw stones, I got to work harder to brave 'em on.
At this point in life, I have just one mantra:
If I can, #YouCanToo!
Hope this helps.
