TO NEW BEGINNINGS: CELEBRATING ONE MONTH ON HIVE! (LUNCH WITH FAMILY AND CUTTING MY HAIR SHORT)
While scrolling through my various social media accounts, I always come upon this quote "Grow through what you go through." Constantly remembering this quote has helped me survived life's adversities. This year, 2021, has been a tough year for me because I have experienced some personal losses such as the death of my grandmother and getting my heartbroken, again.
For months I honestly felt like I was trapped in a tunnel but as I kept going I finally saw the light. I began to realize that despite getting heartbroken, the light will surely shine through the cracks and I believe that being on this platform was the light I never knew that I needed.
In order to commemorate my one month on this platform, I decided to treat my parents by taking them out for lunch. I truly believe that blessings multiply when shared. This platform has honestly been a blessing to me because I got to share my thoughts and feelings without the fear of being ridiculed or judged. This is actually my safe space.
When I told my mother that we were going out for lunch, I saw her face brighten because it was the first time that I got to treat them. For more than two decades, I have always been dependent to my parents and I never got the chance to somehow spoil them. I guess my parents waited for quite a long time but every wait has a worth, right?
After lunch, I decided to treat myself. I decided to visit my favorite hair salon, Mirangcurl located in Bonifacio District, Cebu City. Cutting my hair always had a symbolism. For me, it's like a gateway to commence a new chapter. At the start of each year, I always visit a salon to get my hair treated and cut but this year was an exception. Because of what I went through this year, somehow I want to begin a new chapter at an earlier time.
I am not closing my previous chapter, I am just heading on to a better one. I know that those experiences shaped me into who I am now. Losing a loved one taught me that time is fleeting and that I must cherish every moment I have with them. At first, it was difficult to comprehend the idea of death but as time went on I realized that death is the counterpart of life. It may be hard to move forward but life must go on.
Once again, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to @asasiklause for introducing me to this wonderful platform and to @explorewithsasha for helping me out and for the encouragement. I am also grateful to @purepinay and the @hivecebubloggers community for the constant love and support. This is just the beginning of an exciting chapter here in Hive. Looking forward to be able to engage with you guys and to read more of your stories. Here's to a new chapter!
My past month being on Hive was the best. I got to read stories from other Hivers not just from my country but also from other places around the world as well. It's nice to be able to know more about their thoughts and feelings and to know that their thoughts resonate with mine as well. However, it has also been good hearing the opinions of others despite it being different from mine. Hive taught me to be open-minded by not limiting myself to my perspective only.
How about you? How was this year for you? How was your experience being on this platform? How did you manage to go through life's adversities?
