I met my younger self
I met my younger self for coffee today She was late for thirty minutes, I showed up dressed in an office outfit.
She ordered a Hot chocolate latte, I got a carrot cake and a hot latte.
She was afraid to go out alone it makes her anxious, I told her I enjoyed my solitude now and I'm quite enjoying it.
She thinks that saying NO will hurt other people's feelings, but I told her that it's acceptable to say NO and YES to yourself..
She asked me if we made it, I told her yes at some point (layu pa, pero layu layu napud)and I shared with her the courageous decisions I made and the ambitions I fulfilled on my bucket list, the places I've always wanted to see and the foods I wanted to try.
She was so confused on what career path to take, I told her that I was slowly rediscovering my passion for arts and creation.
She likes to ask questions, so I answered it all.
She will be surprised that I have a new dream.
Before we part ways, I hugged her tight and whispered in her ear, "We'll gonna make it, you'll figure things out like you always do. You don't need to follow the norm, you can always make your own path free from the expectations of others."
