Problems. I found myself wanting to write a story whenever a big problem comes into my life. Gusto kong gumawa ng isang storya kung saan maaari akong magtago at kahit sa iilang oras man lamang ay makatakas sa mga iyon.

Actually, it all started with ebooks. I was so addicted to it and then someone told me about an app where I can read stories for free and that's when I found out about Wattpad.

"My Future In Her Past"

It's the first ever story that I actually finished writing after being a frustrated writer on Wattpad for 4 years. It's the story that made me realize that I can really do it.

This is the story that made me feel how great it is to win a Watty.

This is the story that made me feel how to have 100k reads on my story.

This is the story that made me a Wattpad Star.

Ito Iyong storya na nagpatunay sa akin na kahit 4 years na akong nagsusulat sa Wattpad ay hindi ibig sabihin nito na I'm not great in writing. It made me believe in myself.

(Finally having a reader)

Imagine being a writer on Wattpad without any readers. Now imagine going through that for 4 years.

Diba nakakababa ng self-esteem?

That's me before I finally got noticed. ☺️

Isang reader lang iyon ha pero ang saya-saya ko na. I still treasure that memory kasi nakakaproud na mabalikan iyong mga ganoong alaala. Lahat tayo galing sa wala. Kahit mga iniidolo niyong sikat nanggaling rin sila sa ganuon. Don't bring down yourself just because others have a lot more than what you have. Be thankful and work hard. The rest would follow. 

If it weren't for Ate thisgirlsummer then my stories that you continuously say that you love won't even exist in the first place. Those "Thank you for making this story!" messages that you all say to me should be directed to her. Siya ang dahilan bakit ko iyon natapos. 

"I've been writing on Wattpad for a week now pero wala pa rin! 😟"

"5 months na akong nagsusulat sa Wattpad pero wala pa ring pumapansin! 😭"

I always see those kind of messages or posts on social media. Recognition won't come to you with just a flick of your finger.

Hindi dahil one week ka ng nagsusulat ay may mangyayari na.

Hindi dahil iilang months ka ng nagsusulat ay sisikat ka na.

If kasikatan lang pala ang habol mo ay ito ang masasabi ko sa iyo. The reason why you're in that position is because you have a wrong mindset. Try looking at it on a different light. Iyong hindi reads o followers ang basehan ng kagalingan mo. I'm pretty sure you'll be more thankful for what you have or what you've achieved. ☺️

thisgirlsummer's Hiraeth! Definitely recommend! 

Ang rami ko ng nakilalang ibang Wattpad Stars na naging kaibigan ko na rin. Mga klase ng kaibigan na pwede kong pagsabihan ng mga frustrations ko.

Won a Watty. (2020)
