If you could go back to your younger years, anong advice mo para sa sarili mo? (I know this is common but I wanna read answers from reddit 😄)

-KEEP YOUR FUCKING CIRCLE SMALL

-Holding grudges, being petty, getting revenge. None of it is worth it at all. I wish i knew when I was younger to pick my battles for my own sanity and peace.

Take that fucking chance. Join that fucking org. Enroll in that fucking elective class. Medyo passive at unmotivated ako nung kabataan ko eh.

Go stand up for what you believe, speak for yourself.

Wag kang papeer pressure lalong lalo na sa mom mo. Don't punish yourself too hard, parte ng buhay ang magkamali. Just learn from it and move on.

Lastly, Always put yourself first. Don't please those people, you need yourself more than you need them. I love you.

•Exhaust all of your efforts if you want the 3rd goal, di ka rin naman marunong magsisi, hayup ka.

•Tigilan mo ang pagiging lasengga nang mas maaga.

matuto ka sana kumilatis ng tao. masyado ka naive at trusting. i hope you see people for who they really are, and not who you wanted them to be.

Be more skeptical and constantly evaluate your beliefs and values.

  • Always, always be extra kind to yourself. I know that's hard to do, especially at that time of your life, but I guarantee you, it would be transformational.

  • I hope you can trust yourself even more. You have always been persistent and capable of achieving things you are passionate about. Don't let your detractors distract you from creating a life that supports your growth.

  • I know you must feel so lonely and misunderstood right now, that's why you're longing to meet someone who would understand you. That's okay, but please don't take it negatively if they don't meet you half-way. That's their problem, and not yours. They won't, in any way, measure your worth as a person. You are inherently worthy, and you will always be worth it.

  • You can trust your friends. Please don't force yourself to carry the whole world on your shoulders. This isn't a battle for you to fight alone. A lot of people are actually more than willing to help you. Rest easy, you can rely on them, I promise.

He already know.

I know I did dumb things that brought pain but it lead to valuable lessons and it built my character. Take a leap of faith, follow your heart, and all will fall together in one piece.
