As I recall the pains & hurts, I experienced in the past with my family, with friends as a
child/ adolescent/ adult, I think of one of the most hurtful memories that I've been
through and explain how does it help me to be the version of myself right now.

One of my painful, and draining moments that I've experienced as a


child/adolescent was when I literally can't even talk to the people inside our
house. I always cry at night, telling God to take me with him. My life, isn't
perfect and no one life is. Having a problem that you're afraid to share to
others or even tell them is difficult because you don't know how to handle it
alone. I always tend to ask myself if I still can go on, family problems,
academic problems I don't know how to handle those. I just feel like, I need
to give up and let God handle my life and continue it with his plan. I know
God's plan is better than mine, so maybe that's why some of the things that I
wanted isn't working out. At the age of mine, I don’t think that I already
should be experiencing this kind of draining things, I feel like I’m playing
thug-of-war with my problems if it pulled me down then it’s over.

I don't want to go back to those nights when I needed to cry myself out, ask
God my purpose is and blame myself to all the draining things that's
happening to me. As the days go past, I try to focus on the things that I really
enjoy. I try to open up, and let it go with the flow. I don't overthink that
much anymore, I just pray to him and ask if he still can make me happier for
a long time so I can focus on my study and to myself.

"What will you say to your younger self while experiencing that hurtful experience al that
time?"

I will say to my younger self to don’t give up, because maybe your plans is
not good for you or not for you. Just let God handle you life, because his
plans is the one for you. You also should trust yourself in that process, try to
always look on the bright side of life even though it’s hard you’ll get through
it and you’ll get over it.
