"Hindi sa'kin nangyari, pero ang sakit ah". The breakup happened to others, not to me. But it hurt quite significantly.

How will I make my birthday memorable and meaningful? I asked myself when my 30th birthday was just around the corner. I thought of making plans on visiting places I wanted to see, foods I wanted to taste, and activities I wanted to try. Many ideas are available. But I found it necessary to answer…

In the initial stage of formation, venturing deeper into self-awareness has been pivotal and helpful for me to become aware of the issues that I did not know were there and those I didn't think were still there.
