You Need To Tone It Down, Girl

My concerned friends, mentors and advisers are worried about me. They say I'm putting too much passion into my presentations. On top of it all, I keep trying to raise the bar on myself. And because of that...

I have had two drastic breakdowns within this month.

You think I'd learn my lesson... I am too much in love with what I'm doing. Being in this position is more than just a position to me. It's beyond the title, beyond the recognition, beyond the presentations, beyond even my own knowledge of the Filipino culture...


It's figuring out who the f*ck I am and what I'm meant to do in this world.

I hate to live passively. I hate to live for the temporary highs. I'm searching for something deep. Something genuine. Something that words just can't fully express right now... There's a beauty out there that I believe is most suitable for me. & the more I put into these presentations, the closer I feel to finding it.

If that's not reasonable enough then I can only question how you're living your life. Are you doing what you love? Are you at least working your way to get there?

I'm a girl who has to learn things the hard way. I'm self-driven. I'm stubborn. I live and breath for the extremities of life. It's how I feel most alive. Even if I am not to succeed, pain will teach me how.

I'm sorry you can't help me the way you want. This is my life. & in this current time, I'm selfish... because I'm confident about my definition of success.

There will be moments when you will need to tone down for the better good. Trial and error shall be your guide in determining the moments.
