day two | 10 people in your life who you are grateful to have met
for the second day, we'll be focusing more on humans. the good ones, and even the bad ones who taught you good lessons.
you may not necessarily be in contact with them anymore, but within the time you were, they could have impacted your life so much that it changed something for the better.
choose 10 of those people and tell us a bit of the impact they had on you.
(keep in mind--blood relatives are not included.)
Ate Selby. during my first few months in college, i wasn't aware of bloc activities and such, and i didn't know anybody in the campus, so i was pretty isolated. it made me a bit demotivated to go to class. but she sort of herded me into her group of friends, who surprisingly enough had the same interests as i, and i became one of them. it made my first uni experience so much better, and probably stopped me from immediately dropping out.
Lambert. my SO. when i met him, i was at one of the worst points in my life, and a short time after we got together, i had to permanently go back home, which was 10 hours from the city. but he didn't stop supporting me then. he would stay up at night to talk me out of my anxiety enough to let me sleep without anxiety attacks or at least not be alone when i do. granted, he couldn't do that now that he has work, but i really believe that if he hadn't entered my life back then, i wouldn't have made it out of that dark time alive.
Patricia. she's like Ate Selby, but in my second uni. i had just changed schools and had a hard time adjusting because there were just such stark differences and i was so homesick for my old life. Pat gave me a support system in my current environment.
Ma'am Yannie. she's our college's guidance counselor. she actually changed my perception of the guidance office as a punishing body into a place of care and comfort. my depression and anxiety was getting worse, but she made things less stressful for me, since i had someone to talk to, and she was a person of authority who could talk to my professors and explain my struggles to them when necessary.
Janine. another friend of mine. she tries her best, and has helped me a lot the past few years.
Lolo VP. dad's old boss, who passed away. the amount of belief and care he had for me and my sister is so heartwarming, especially since we aren't really related even though we call him lolo (grandpa).
Sir Suarez. he was my journalism professor in my second uni, and he had so much belief in me that i excelled in his so-called "terror" classes, and he made me have the confidence to write again after such a long time.
Amber. she's a tita friend who comforts me and never fails to remind me how awesome i am when i get overwhelmed by feelings of worthlessness. we have similar struggles and it's just so comforting to know that someone understands.
Prof. A. we're not gonna state her name to lessen the chance of her finding this post. but she was such an incompetent and highly biased "educator" who was very good at gaslighting. being in her class was such a horrible experience, but she gave me exposure to such abusive behavior and taught me how to better handle it in the future.
Daizelle. she's my mom friend. you know how it's very hard to be a strong person because no one takes care of you? she's the one who sees through my vulnerability and takes care of me.
sorry that this was late. i'm not a very outgoing person, so i don't have a lot of people in my life. 😅
