When
I was a little, I have no specific dream. I dreamt of becoming an actress,
dancer, singer, ramp model, teacher, doctor, and chef, everything that I could
think of. But I wasn’t really thinking about it. I just want to enjoy
everything and have fun. It’s as if the whole world is my playground.
Everything was just fun and games. But as I grow up, I realized that life was
never what I thought it was.
Back then, the simplest things could please me: candies, a shiny new toy or a trip to the mall. Small things, yes. But enough to make me feel giddy all day. And then came the time when I learned to put make-up on my face and polish my nails. I’d look at myself in the mirror, and think of the things I’ve been through for the 19 years of my existence, I’d say to myself, “Be thankful for who you are today. Be strong and keep the faith.”
“You’ll never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have left.”
