The world is full of consumers. Be a producer.
Nothing in life is ever certain.
Always remember that.
Make it back or not, the fact that I gave it a shot will clear any doubt in my mind on whether or not I can truly do anything like this anymore.
I’ll be happy either way.

"Money is not important, until there's not... →
moneyisnotimportant:
In this world, we often make the mistake of placing too much emphasis on making more money. We sacrifice time with family and friends, neglect hobbies that we enjoy, and constantly worry about keeping up with the Joneses. You’ll never be fulfilled by constantly chasing a bigger paycheck.
Ask any…
The change you desire begins with you.
Eight years ago, I found something very special to me and used it to improve myself, to inspire others, to keep me going.
Somewhere along those eight years, I seemed to have lost it.
As I slowly close these chapters of my life in these upcoming months, I aim to find what I lost. Because despite how long that special something has been missing in my life, I can’t move on without it.
Can’t believe it’s almost been a year.
Part of me wants to go, while another part is afraid of going. Afraid it’s going to hurt being on the other side this time.
The me a year ago would’ve never expected all the twists, turns, blessings, and pain that were to come.
And so the first week ends.
Eight years, and it’s finally coming to a close.
One last time, then I close this chapter in my life.

On another note, had a chat with a friend I haven’t seen in a while. Seems like I’m not the only one who felt that way.
Back to the Beginning
That phrase keeps popping up over and over in my head recently.
This needs to stop.
I make mistakes. I need to stop killing myself over them.
And so it’s official.
So much has gone through my mind since then. Still trying to straighten everything out.

“Our greatest glory is not never falling, but...
I remember how much that quote meant to me back then. I’m surprised I totally forgot about it till a few days ago.
A few months prior to getting this fortune cookie, I auditioned for UG Gen 1 but didn’t make the roster, while a lot of my other friends did. A year before that I lost an election for PCN director. Hours after I got this fortune cookie I tripped up on a Tinikling stick...

Confession #11
dane-lora:
Pretentious posts just make me feel like I’m reading a fortune cookie…or a self-help book. I don’t care for them.
