“SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST”


Life is like a race where the fast ones win and the slow ones lose. When it is said "survival of the fittest," you must be brave; you are strong enough to face challenges. But being strong is not measured enough to be able to say you are fit; that's why you survive. Your ability to learn, adapt to challenges, and most especially get up from the things you made mistakes on is based on it. Then, that's when I can say I survive.

Too many things have happened to me where I felt I wasn't good enough. But every time I look back on what happened to me, all I can say is that "Ahh, that happened to me before, and I survived." Looking back at your old experiences, challenges, or whatever, every time you look back, all you can say is that I managed to survive. When you say that, I can assure you that you learned something and you don't want to repeat those problems or mistakes you made because you learned and you didn't give up. It means that you survive despite those small hopes that you have.  

Being fit is not a basis for you being perfect, nor are you mistaken that every time you make decisions, they always have a good outcome or their plan is according to what you are expecting. Because for me, being fit, those mistakes you had before—now you're taking it to something you don't want to regret or repeat again because you learned from them. And having that mindset is a great help to assess your self-growth, especially in decision-making. When things are really hard and it seems like all I can say is, "Can we just stop? Or should I give up because I am tired?" I reminded myself that every great achievement comes from great sacrifices. You will suffer first before you can seize the goal or desire you’ve wanted. When things are rough, I pause a while and calm myself to think and take the very first step to keep moving forward.

For me, survival of the fittest is where I learned every day and a well-learned lesson, and with those persons who supported and believed in me, that’s what made me strong and able to fit in this society.

Fear Me

  Fear What Is Fear and Why Do We Face It? Psychology defines fear as a basic human emotion triggered by a perceived threat—whether real or imagined—that activates both physiological and emotional responses. But for me, fear is something deeper. It’s that unsettling feeling we get when we think about outcomes that might not meet our expectations. It’s the disappointment when reality hits harder than we imagined. That’s why people say, “Expectation vs. reality hits different.” But here’s the question, if fear makes us uncomfortable, why do we need to face it at all? Why not skip the hard part? Why not take the easier route and avoid the challenge altogether? Some people think it’s better to take the shortcut or run from what scares them. But the truth is, facing our fears is one of the most important steps toward growth. It challenges us, shapes us, and teaches us independence. When we confront what we’re afraid of, we learn something powerful: that even in difficulty—even when sca...

Can I Still Do it?

  Can I Still Do It? Late nights, tired eyes, chasing deadlines, racing time. Pages turn, the clock won't wait, But my hands are shaking—heavy with weight. First year, lost in the crowd, new faces, voices too loud Crammed notes, sleepless fights, practicums that stole my nights. Money's tight, mind's a mess, lab fees adding to the stress. Heart is heavy, thoughts run deep, Thousands of what-ifs steal my sleep. Can I still do it? Can I go on? Every step feels twice as long. But stopping now is not my way. I’ll rise aga in—I'll find a way. To every student who has ever felt lost, exhausted, and on the verge of giving up—this is for you.

Who really is it?

                   WHO REALLY IS IT? Before, seeing some couples who were very sweet and watching romantic dramas made me wonder: are all couples really like that? Is that how they should be, that sweet?Reading Wattpad stories and other books revealed to me that there are indeed different types of love and love languages. I first learned about this from my MAPEH teacher in 8th grade, sparking my curiosity. By the time I reached 12th grade at 19 years old, all of my female classmates were in love, and even the boys were dating. I found myself both curious and envious. What does it feel like to be in love and to date someone you care about? Back then, I wanted to experience it, yet part of me was hesitant. Looking back to 7th grade, I remember how five of my classmates had a crush on me. But I was just a kid, more interested in playing and eating. I was too innocent for what they called "puppy love." **** First year of college hit me diffe...
