To say that the past year has been the best of my life would be a huge understatement. Sure thing, I was not able to go out as much as I had when I was an Ortigas Girl. I was not able to buy things as I was able to when I lived the “more convenient way of life”. If I will be blessed to live a hundred years, I’ve already used up a quarter of my life by now.

I’m so thankful beyond words that since I decided to start living my life for myself— God held me in His powerful hands. He never let me fall. He never let me get too carried away in the ways of this world. He never let my fears consume me. And finally, He helped me truly heal from the wounds of the past that even if scars remain— I know I am still whole as a person. That I am important to Him. That I shouldn’t spend my life punishing myself for the mistakes I did as a child. That I was not to be blamed for the unimaginable things that were done to me in the past. He made me feel worthy of love and life.

It’ll be impossible to name all of those countless blessings but I’ll try to share some of the biggest ones. I’ve grown so much intellectually, emotionally, physically and spiritually, since my last birthday because of the following milestones in my life.
