I’ve been watching a series of motivational and inspirational videos from successful people on YouTube. Their advice matters to me because I am setting up a new system for myself. I’m listing everything that I need to do and follow. I am so blessed to have a cousin with whom I can have a conversation about life, personal growth, career, and becoming successful. I also decided to convert my thoughts and stories into minimalist art. I’m not that good, but I think I will still develop in the process. Sharing my thoughts is one of my favorite things because I know some people are experiencing failures as well, and I want to share my experiences on how I am facing every challenge in my life. Recently, I am slowly changing my habits. One of these changes is about waking up at 4 a.m. I know this is the most challenging for me because I love sleeping, but I believe that I can do it because I want to improve my habits and be more productive …

Depression and anxiety are ubiquitous nowadays due to a lack of self-exposure, lack of people you can talk to, lack of new places and things you can see or go to, lack of knowledge and experiences, lack of contentment, and self-control. And because of that, sometimes we’re experiencing like we don’t know right or wrong. We always started new opportunities but ended up giving up. We don’t strive enough because we want a good result right away, and that’s wrong. It would help if you had effort and hard work in this. Life isn’t easy, no job is easy, and that’s the reality of living. So, I will share the five signs that you’re feeling lost because I have experienced these things until now. I’m still figuring out myself and what career I want to pursue. Confused So many things are happening in our lives now, and we have difficulty grasping everything. Confusion is unable to think clearly, and currently, I’m experiencing it every day. My mind is always in chaos; I don’t know which. …

Before this month ends, I want to have a self-appreciation. I recently used my Instagram filters. It looks so vintage and aesthetic to me, but since it enhances the bright pink color side of a picture, you’ll notice the small pimple on my chin. I’ve been experiencing lately the “mask-ne” or the acne caused by wearing a mask. But it’s not a big deal tho. I have skincare products that would help me get rid of these zits. I am a naturally born pure Filipino. I do have a very Asian face. Small eyes, fuller lips, a small nose, and dark brown eyes (not visible, it looks more on the black side). Taking selfies is my favorite way of appreciating myself. I’m Kima, and I am proud to be a Filipino, I am proud to be an Asian.

There comes a time when we’re all fed up, we hate everyone, and we want to disappear in this wicked world, and I felt it too. Sometimes, my past haunts me, and I remember every single detail of pain and regret. How can I ever forget those if I can remember every scenario of my life?  Even just a simple thing can lead to an all-day chaotic mind. I didn’t want it, but how can I even resist if I was born with it? I envy those people who can just let everything slide and think what they want to believe. Those people who don’t overthink a lot and chill and relax without worries; How blessed are they? I entitled this post as It’s Okay, Not to Be Okay because it is customary to encounter bad days.
