0 to 1 - A Change In Me

"Luv, punta ka sa mga pinsan mo."

"Luv, 'wag ka mahiya sa kanila."

"Mahiyain kasi talaga 'yan."

"Pumunta ka nga dun, makipag kwentuhan ka sa kanila."

Lines that I've heard from my parents since I was young.

Timid the most applicable adjective for me before.

Wallflower adjective beside my name when I was entering junior high.

How did a lone child went out of her own comfort zone and how she overcame her own weaknesses?

From 0 to 1 , this is her story.....

Being a lone child, I've been through a lot. Many do's and dont's , having a very very strict parents , and even choosing the friends I can be with. "Struggle is Real"

When I was at the age of 3, I started going to school and I'm very dependent on my parents during that time. I even follow them everywhere , and yeah, even when they go to the CR, I'm always there. Back then , I'm spoiled , a bit mean I can say , and I even got jealous to my dad having my mom's attention ( 'cause I'm that kind of child that I want all their attention is on me like FOCUS ON ME ) .

When I started entering junior high school, it felt like unzipping my jacket and started to feel the feeling of what the cold wind was. I became more independent , responsible and more outgoing. From there, I started to knew myself more , who am I , what I want and what I need, who are the people I cant trust , and I started to like things around me. At that point of my life I begin to lose weight , gain friends and put myself all together.

And now, being an 18 year old girl/daughter I can say that many things aren't the same anymore. I've met many people , been on different schools , had many friends , went on different places , been dependent to independent child , from crybaby to "been there, done that" gal. All I can say is nothing is permanent in this world, many things happened for a reason. Days , weeks , months and even years went by but we're still holding on, stronger and bolder than before.
