Old friends don't know who i am now and new friends don't know who i used to be. It's strange because nobody knows the full picture of me anymore.

[criizz]

How silly of me to forget how far I've come, just because I still have far to go.

choosing me WAS the plot twist.

[criizz]

That exhale when you finally start choosing you.

Kamusta na? 🍒

be a good person, but don't waste your time trying to prove it

I defended them in rooms they weren’t in and they were the ones talking about me in others.

[criizz]

"Oh no, no, everything will be fine" I told others, when I was confused about my problem

[criizz]

I told everyone to - don't give up, don't cry, don't be afraid 'cause they are not living alone there's somebody loves them. While I noticed I'm always alone and nobody was telling me those things.

[criizz]

you make everyone feel seen, that's your superpower

Not sure who wrote this note, but girl—thank you. Anyone suffered from Imposter Syndrome too? Anyone?

Bought this secondhand book in SM Subic ‘cause it felt too relevant to my work-life drama. Found your note tucked inside and whew, felt like the universe said, “you’re not alone.” This book spoke to you, it’s speaking to me too. Wherever you are, I hope you’re doing okay now.

i might sound desperate rn, but srsly I need a friend. Girl, we can have coffee together, I can take pictures of you & ofc you need to take pictures of me too. We can go somewhere, deep convo, join community together, run together, wine nights and yeah whatever you like. 🫣

[criizz]

I'm honestly surprised, I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Do you think we could organize a casual meet-up for us girls who just need girl friends? Nothing forced, just a safe space to hang out- like a quick coffee where we can meet and get to know other people. I’m not sure how to put it into words, but I’d love to explore this idea and talk more about it! Yun lang i don't know how to start? Pano ba i push to hahahaha nah! it's just an idea 💡 but i''m thrilled to make this happen.

[criizz]

This summit was a reality check: I can't please everyone, but I can choose to show up for myself. And that's enough.

BRAVE OVER PERFECT ✨

Hello girl, how are you?

[criizz]

maybe God humbled me because i used to tell myself that i would definitely leave the table if it doesn't give me peace anymore but now i couldn't even move a feet.
