Be Brave
My Note to the Youth
One thing I've always reminded myself is to be brave and that's one thing I've always been doing. No matter the situation I'm facing, I should always stand straight, chin up and be confident on myself. There were times where I felt like I'm alone, where I felt like the whole world was against me and in those times, I felt like giving up, but I reminded myself how brave I am and how brave I can be. No. I wasn't alone. I had my friends who fought with me during my war and my family who supported me during my battle. They were with me even those times where I wasn't... me.
Being brave is believing on yourself. Believing that you will pass on this test that life gave us. Believing that we shouldn't give up so fast. Believing that we can win this battle. And believing and putting faith to God.
When I remember those times, I would just smile to myself because it reminds me of how much I was brave and how much I am brave right now. The things I have encountered had made me the better person I thought I'd never be. It made me wiser and braver.
My note to the youth are:
to be brave
to be confident and believe in yourself
to pray
to never give up to learn from your mistakes
to accept defeat
to think positive
to make friends that you will treasure in your whole life.
And lastly. To Enjoy.
We were only given one life and we should cherish and venerate it. We should be contented and happy with what was given to us. When you feel like, you're facing everything alone. You are not. You will always have my/our back. No matter what you're facing right now, always pray and be brave. You can do this! We can do this together!
