"Metamorphosis"
[Self-portrait]
They say that changes are inevitable: either you regress or progress. With the past few months, I had a very rocky road. I kept silent about it because I'd rather not have any troubles with the people who are with me or against me for the past couple of months. Let me just put it in one sentence, it was a 360 degree turn around of events. I can't say I had no fault nor I was 100% innocent nor I didn't judge people. Although, I learned that I had to start thinking about my future - like, seriously, sit and think about my life goals.
I dyed my hair into red as it means I'm up for the risks- again- of the things I might encounter. Yet, I'm still scared. I'm graduating in June and waiting for job final interviews I've applied to. But, I'm wishing that God, would give me a 2nd chance. A chance to rebuild myself from ground up and to work with a certain brand that would also allow me to grow and reach for my dreams.
The things happened to me made me realized where I wanted to be and where should I be standing now and most, especially, it humbled me. The hardest thing to admit is to tell yourself that you've grown "prouder" and changed very differently. I didn't know I turned into a rebellious girl and thinks highly of herself at one point. There were regrets, as usual. I wish I listened to my editor, or I wished everything didn't happen at all. Thank God, I still have good people around me to remind and saves me - even if I didn't ask to. At the moment wherein my words and deeds was used against me, my thesismates and people who knows how I work was with me- no judgements. I learned a lot. With my learnings, I want to change, start a new and evolve to become a better person.
