I’ve come to a quiet and painful realization that being financially broke is more than just not having money, kundi sa bigat ng pakiramdam na parang limitado ka sa lahat ng bagay. ++
Pero habang nararamdaman ko ‘to, unti-unti ko ring naiintindihan ang sarili ko. Someone who is learning patience, resilience, and the value of every small step forward. Oo, masakit at nakaka-frustrate ngayon, but I know this isn’t where my story ends. ++
Adulting advice? Take yourself on dates, travelling alone, go to new places, drinking iced coffee in some random cafe and don't wait for someone else to give you permission. Do whatever makes you happy. There's something so peaceful about finding solace in being alone. Being you.
