Poem About How You Value Yourself Mga Nobela at Kwento

At lalong hindi sana ako nahusgahan at pilit na ibinaba ang sarili sa pamamagitan ng mga salitang isinigaw ko, na utos ng babaeng iyon! But now I learned my lesson. Even though my past still haunted me, one thing is for sure. "Nobody respect me the way I respected myself," I whispered. Just because someone desires me, does not mean they value and respect me... I know that now, and I will apply that to protect myself... Because no one does. ***

A smile suddenly creeps out on her lips as she read what has been written on the letter. 'If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes. Only then would you realize how special you are to me. No other woman can be fierce and at the same sweet as you are. I've been wondering if I would deserve someone like you. I would be thanking God that you exist. I really hoping that I would have any courage to say that to you without the fear of rejections. You're the only one who give that fear to me.'

Ang bawat salita niya ay tumagos sa puso ng mga nakikinig, at sa dulo ng kanyang pagtatanghal, umalingawngaw ang malalakas na palakpakan. Sa Q&A round, tinanong siya: "Ano ang pinakamahalagang natutunan mo sa iyong buhay?" Sumagot siya nang may kumpiyansa: "Ang pinakamahalagang natutunan ko ay ang hindi paglalagay ng halaga ng sarili sa opinyon ng iba. Ang tunay na halaga ng tao ay hindi nakasalalay sa kanyang panlabas na anyo, kundi sa kanyang puso at pananaw sa buhay."

"Pero sana huwag mong isipin na wala kang kwenta dahil ang totoo, lahat tayo may kwenta. Lahat tayo may halaga at kung hindi nila iyon nakikita sa 'yo, bulag sila." "I don't know, Mara. Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng dapat kong isipin sa sarili ko. Baka marahil tama sila. I am worthless, useless, nothing." "At hahayaan mong iyon ang maging tingin nila sa 'yo, Sir?"

“Sometimes, I wonder what if I gonna die, will they spend some of their time for me? To look or check on me? To care for me and to show that they love me? Will I be able to get the attention that I have been waited for so long? Are they gonna go back home? I am waiting for that to happen my entire life, Roux.” “To feel that I am worth it. To feel that I am valuable. To feel that, they love me the way I am loving them.” “Am I really that selfish if I wish for that?” Naaalala ko ‘yong mga panahong lumalayo ako sa kanya. Alam kong nasasaktan ko siya sa tuwing gusto ko at sinasabi kong lumayo na siya sa akin, alam ko na sa bawat pag-iwas ko ay labis ko siyang nasasaktan. Hindi ko man gustong gaw

Na ang simpleng pagihip ng hangin, paglipad at ang pahuni ng ibon, ang musika, ang magagandang tanawin, ang araw, ang buwan at ang mga tala ay may makubuluhang simbolo na nagpapahiwatig sa ating buhay. Andrea said that a butterfly doesn't see how beautiful their wings are but other people can see the beauty of it. Parang tao lang. Nakikita ng ibang tao ang kabaitan at kapangitan ng ugali mo at mismong sarili mo, hindi mo nakikita. We often see the disaster of ourselves instead on focusing on how to appreciate the beauty and disaster of one self. I gathered air and courage to open the letter. This is what my Mama want to say to me but failed because I am always busy.

He made me feel like I was worth more than all the diamonds and gold in the store. Being with him made me realize that true worth isn't about how much money you have or how flashy you look. It's about how someone sees the real you, underneath all the glitz and glam. So, thanks to him, I learned to see myself differently. I stopped feeling like a cheap imitation and started feeling like a valuable treasure, because to him, I was priceless.

You don’t need someone to make you whole because you can do it by yourself. Repeat after me. I can buy myself flowers, I can love myself better, I can take care of myself than anyone. I can go everywhere, buy myself everything I want. Doing everything makes me happy. I love myself better than anyone. I don’t need someone’s love. Me is enough. Love yourself better. “Your worth is not determined by another person.” “What if dumating iyung right time? The right person.”

I was fighting the wrong battle all this time. "What if I don't know how?" mahina kong tanong. His expression softened. "Then start small." Napatingin ako sa kaniya. "Stop apologizing for existing in places you deserve to be in," aniya. "Stop shrinking yourself just to make other people comfortable. And stop thinking you need everyone's approval before believing in your own value." Tahimik lang akong nakatingin sa kaniya habang unti-unting bumibigat ang pakiramdam ko.
