THE GROWTH OF A PERFECTLY IMPERFECT PERSON
I’m Laila Angela F. Criste. I was born in February 16,2006. I’m currently studying at Ilocos Sur National High School as a grade 10 student. I was born and raised at Pong-ol, Vigan City. My parents are Mr. Albert Criste and Mrs. Analiza Criste, and this is how I describe myself...
Back when I was a child, I was very confident to do the things I love. I only thought about myself and it made me happy not giving a care to anyone. I was unproblematic and unstoppable when joining activities and contests, and fortunately, I won some awards and made my parents proud. As I grew older, I got matured and realized a lot of things, I started to worry what other people think of me, the main reason why I got insecure. Now, we are currently experiencing a global pandemic and the reason why we can’t have face to face classes. So during home quarantine, I had a moment of self reflection and thought about my toxic traits and toxic people in my life. I noticed that the source of my insecurities aren’t from self hatred but because of the people around me with negative energies. I thought about changing my perspective in life and don’t give a care to anyone on what they think about me just like when I was younger. And because of that, now, I’m grateful that I’m mentally stable and enjoying my life with my family and trusted friends.
I’ve gone through a lot of things and I know I will be facing more challenges in the future. I am so happy that I used the home quarantine as an opportunity to change my perspectives in life and learn to be contented and enjoy the little things. Everybody is unique, there’s no need to feel insecure about yourself. Choose the right people. And lastly, set some goals and make sure to reach them whatever it takes.
It's interesting how she change her perspective through this pandemic knowing that it may triggered our mental health and she did it maturely! I also loved that she gives us tips and motivations to keep forward whatever happen and never give up! Also, the fact that she change the way she thinks and be more aware to herself is such good start to improve.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Ignore the toxic individuals and simply live life to the fullest. Instead of focusing on the negative things, let us concentrate on ourselves, our friends and families and what makes us happy. I enjoyed reading your blog, and I'm sure others will as well!
