My Life's Journey 소설 & 이야기

Lara’s POV Ang buhay ay puno ng sorpresa. Kahapon, simple lang ang buhay ko—trabaho, commute, at tulog. Pero ngayon? Isa na akong alipin ng isang tyrant duke. ‘Di ko alam kung matatawa ako o maiiyak. Kung akala mong sa mga fantasy stories, kapag time-travel ang bida, magiging chosen one siya—nope, hindi ako ‘yun.

Ngayon, wala nang humahadlang sa akin. Buong puso kong tinanggap na ang buhay ay puno ng unos, ngunit kaya kong makalaya at lumipad nang mas mataas kaysa dati. Ang mundo ay puno ng posibilidad, at alam ko na sa bawat hakbang na gagawin ko, mas malayo ang mararating ko. Wala na akong takot. Wala na akong panghihinayang. Ako ay si Merlyn Claveria Santiago, at ang buhay ko ay sisimulan kong buuin muli, isang hakbang sa bawat araw.

“Nandyan siya kapag may katahimikan, at nandyan siya kapag pumipikit ako…” “Wag mo pilitin ang sarili mo na kumalimot. Mas magiging malala lang ito kapag ginawa mo ito,” Ang mungkahi ni Jim. “Pero ang alaala ko sa kanya ay nakakaapekto sa buhay ko. Hindi ako makakain, hindi ako makatulog—hindi ko rin kaya maging interesado sa kahit ano.” “Naaalala mo ba kung ano ang mungkahi ko sayo noon?”

The crowd went wild as the emcee said that. I confidently step forward, taking hold of the mic. The crowd falls into a hushed silence, waiting for my answer. "The best piece of advice I have ever received is to just enjoy the journey. Just because you are not there yet, doesn't mean you never will be. This advice has helped me a lot in my life, especially in pursuing my dreams. It has taught me to appreciate every moment, every challenge, every opportunity, and every person that I meet along the way. It has also taught me to be patient, resilient, and optimistic. I believe that life is not a destination, but a journey. And the journey is what makes us who we are. The destination may be the u

" Focus and move forward. You need to focus on yourself and on your goals and the rest will follow. Forget about the hardships, the struggles and the failures. It's only small part, something that will add up to the spice of your journey into becoming a successful one. Remember, if you want to become successful in life you should learn how to focus." They all nodded and I smiled. "Thank you Attorney Torrecelli, you're such an inspiration." I smiled at my students and said my goodbye. I need to go home early. For the past five years I don't have any news about what I left in the Philippines. I totally cut my connections with them. I started a new life as a new me with the help of my father...

"Masyadong maraming nangyari sa buhay ko pagkalipat natin dito sa Cebu, bebs. Pero kung tatanungin ako kung may babaguhin man ako sa mga nangyari ay wala, wala akong gustong baguhin. Dahil ang pinakamagandang nangyari sa buhay ko ay nang pinili kong mamuhay sa isang simpleng apartment. Magtrabaho sa isang coffee shop. Makakilala ng mga bagong tao. Magkaroon ng ibang kaibigan. At higit sa lahat, ang mapalapit sa taong gusto ko." "Ito na lang ang nakikita kong paraan para mapatunayan ko kay Lolo na hindi ako magiging sunod-sunuran sa gusto niya. I have my own life, Jam. At hindi siya ang magdidikta sa kung anong dapat na mangyari sa buhay ko."

Drace approached his father and I was left with my best friend, Bonie, hugging me so tight and telling me how happy she was for me. Life taught me lots of things as I grew older. Today, I’ve just realized it and translated it into words. Life may be full of shits and unexpected twists and turns, but it is still a mystery. Nevertheless, do not dwell on the past because it is done. Live in the moment and embrace the future. After everything we went through, today is the day. I could say that I finally escaped and freed myself from the lure of vengeance. I won’t ask for more for I already have Damon, Drace, and this baby inside my womb.

Pero ito ang pangarap ko, at alam ko na ito rin ang lihim na pangarap niya noon. I'm not a princess who likes to live in a castle—I despise that. I'm a princess who loves to travel my backyard using my pumpkin cart with my perfect one. I want a happy memory from now on. I want to see the other side of the country and discover the beauty of life. I have finally found my perfect frog prince, who loves me unconditionally, after experiencing the bitterness of life, and it is the sweetest redemption. . - the end-

J A Y D E N ALL my life, hindi pa ako naka-experience ng thrill sa buhay ko. Siguro before, 'yong thrill na 'yon ay ang ang mga challenges sa pamilya ko. Challenges sa mga magulang ko at sa mga stepbrothers kong hindi ako matanggap-tanggap. But now, when Johnson came in to my life, maraming nagbago. Doon nagsimula 'yong totoong thrill na hindi ko naman inasahan ever in my whole life.

Bulong nito sa akin. “Time kept marching on. Life became a lot more about getting you from one place to another for all your activities. I think during at the time I may have tended to focus more on logistics and the daily grind. You were doing things on your own and facing the world with all of its challenges and dangers. I watched you succeed and fail, make mistakes and come out triumphant. Jeff, you were still a shining light in my life, and I shared your joy and triumphed with you when you succeeded, but the harder part was letting you feel the pain of failing or making mistakes.”
