Another blog post labeled as "filed under long overdue post." 

A week before my 19th birthday, I had my friend shoot me to commemorate my last year of being a teen. Though I am just posting it now I think it's just right to share this one for you my dear readers- if there is- before I enter the adulting stage next month. Yes, time did hyperlapse real quick that I'm turning Twen-teen. 

I must say that this was by far one of the most taxing year I've had in my existence and I know a lot of you can relate to that. This era was a whole lot different compared years back. But no matter how hard your situation as of the moment, always look back on how you've survived certain situations you've never thought you can surpass. And here you are now, another step closer to your goal.

Just keep pushing. Push. Push Until Something Happen. There are certain instances this year that I wanted to give up, almost, that for the first time in forever I called my mother one gloomy day and I told her I can't do it anymore. I cried to her that day over the phone. I almost throw my dreams away in the junk. I did not think of the reason why I have come this far, my goal in the first place.

So if there is one valuable lesson that I grasp this year is to keep pushing for what you want, continue creating and putting your plans into action and turning your actions to work until you achieve your goal. You just have to be strong, focus, be inspired and most of all trust in the Lord. 

Let me end this by quoting a line from Pia Wurtzbach's farewell speech before passing her national titile, " A dream is a picture of possibility and we should have a strong heart and a prepared mind to turned that into a reality."
