WHO AM I?
I am Dana Gale Alexa P. Buenviaje, a 17 year old young lady who
strives for the best to make my loved ones. proud. I like singing ,
dancing, watching movies and series, reading, and listening to
music. My recently found hobby is crocheting. I also like to do
activities that would require me to focus. I am a consistent honor
student from grade school and so, the pressure and stress that I
feel is immense. My parents don't pressure me, I just like to
overexert myself because I feel that I am worthless and useless if
I do not work hard and do my best. They say that most of the
bubbly people we encounter are actually very sad inside, and I
proved that right when I suffered from mild depression and
anxiety during the pandemic. The atmosphere during that time was
really heavy and all my pent up emotions want to explode. I made
music and books my escape from reality when everything becomes
too much for me. I am slowly recovering by the use of a diary
where I open up everything I feel. It surprisingly helped a lot
since the load I always carry around seems much lighter compared
to before. I would like to finish my studies soon and land on a
stable job to support my mom. I would also like to learn how to
gradually step out of my comfort zone and embrace new
challenges.
