Moving Forward

Venus de Milo. My mum and I were shopping at Arizona Mills, when we found this house decor store with this amazing replica for sale in it. And I was just like, "Mi, can I have this?" I have been an avid fan of ancient Greek human sculptures for as long as I can remember, coupled with my passion for beauty, art, and semi-obsession with Greek gods and goddesses, especially Aphrodite, I knew I had to have this. Looking at it in the house truly makes me content and happy.

After many months--years I should say--of going back and forth on going back home to Philippines and finishing my studies there, I finally decided to stay here in Arizona!

And I have to say that there's just something extremely relieving with that choice. Looking back, it's all quite funny now. But I've grown up believing that everything happens for a reason, that every experience is a lesson. Ahhhh! I'm just really blown away by everything that has happened up until this point. I couldn't find the right words to express it. Basically, I'm just happy with where I am right now considering that I still think I'm losing some people that have been with me since I was a little kid. But hey, people come and go. And I should just learn to accept that. I feel a bit weirded out because I used to see myself as the friend who's always there to hold the group together, but not anymore. I'm set on moving forward with my life. If that means I'm losing some people along the way, then so be it. Take one of my oldest friends for example. She had a falling out with a group of friends--who were also some of my closest friends--and she turned to me for support. Which I did. I encouraged her to talk to them and just sort things out. And now that I hear they're OK, I'm invisible to her. That was irritating by the way. But I didn't go full-on against her until I caught her on Facebook, where she'd rather play poker first than talk to me who she always claims she's missing. So, delete... delete... delete. I don't need someone like her ruining my day and I'm tired of her excuses. Life is truly funny and ironic. We never know what's going to happen next.
