Everyday & everynight, my life is filled with the energy of others.
I'm not complaining - I love it.
I'm blessed because of it.
But this week, I had the rare opportunity to see the world with a different set of lenses that allowed me to peek into my past lives, inner-self & future manifestations.
It's been too long since I had a moment to be with myself.
It's been so long since I had a moment to be by myself...to be myself.
Today, I write because I've lived it.
I write because it is important to me.
I write because it helps me grow - as a mother, as a sister, as a woman, as an artist, as a Pinay, as a leader.
I'm writing to OWN MY SIGNIFICANCE.
I'm writing because everyone needs to know how to remember the precious moments in their lives.
I'm writing so I don't ever forget because it's so easy to do.
(Much appreciation to all those who've sprinkled love, spent time & shared space. You all make my heart smile)
