New day, new life, new hair. π»πππββοΈπΒ Char! Bumalik na sa kulot ang buhok ko pero I’m still enjoying my shorter “post-breakup hair”… even if I didn’t have a breakup kasi waley naman akong lab layf. πΉ But then again, I realized that what I’ve been going through lately is similar to a breakup: I miss my family & friends & the way things used to be (I used to be so happy kaya wapakels ako kung may jowa or wala for so long! πΈ). At hirap akong mag-move on from the “good old days”, kasi not too long after I finally learned to enjoy what I have, things started to change! π€£ #Cheesy but true. π§ Yet with God’s help, I’m now slowly learning to enjoy the present again, while continuing to be thankful for my awesome past. I’m now making it a point to do what I love best (eating, reading, and believe it not, dancing & Zumba… even if I’m still as clumsy as ever! π) with someone whose company I enjoy best (me!!! πΉΒ And Mama Uni & Cutie the Cat, of course.Β Β But there are times when I need to be alone to recharge. So thanks to everyone for understanding if I sometimes need to be by myself, whether I am on social break or not. Ang saya mag-self-date!Β π).
So I want to encourage those of you who feel tired & discouraged, just as the Lord encourages me whenever I feel tired & discouraged:
1. Even as you do your best to love the people in your life, always make it a point to love yourself too: Do what you love best with someone whose company you enjoy best. β€οΈΒ (Out of curiosity, what do YOU love to do best? Whose company do YOU enjoy best? Feel free to share!)
2. Be thankful for the past, but live fully in the present. πΒ Enjoy the mornings (like the beautiful morning in this picture), the afternoons, and the evenings!
3. Get a haircut: Ang presko ng pakiramdam, physically, mentally & emotionally.Β πββοΈΒ Tipid pa sa shampoo!!! π
Para sa mga hirap mag-let go, sa love life man o sa ibang bagay: Let’s move on, chicharon! This is Lauren wishing you a fabulous new day & a fabulous new life.Β π»πππββοΈπ

“Sa wari ko’y
Lumipas na ang kadiliman ng araw
Dahan-dahan pang gumigising
At ngayo’y babawi na
Muntik na
Nasanay ako sa ‘king pag-iisa
Kaya nang iwanan ang
Bakas ng kahapon ko
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin”
