Reading this made me stop for a moment and think about mine. It actually made me want to try doing a reflection like this, too. I wonder how things might have turned out if I had known a bit more.

I’m curious though, did anyone ever give you advice like this when you were younger?

I feel like even if someone had told us all these things back then, I don’t think we would’ve followed them anyway hahaha we didn’t have the maturity yet to understand why those skills (and being consistent) mattered. idk anong pinagkakaabalahan mo when you're younger tho hahaha

In a way, I get why some parents push their kids into extra activities or classes they don't even enjoy. Back then I used to think it's exhausting pero now I kind of see the intention of planting seeds for skills we’d only understand years later.

If someone said life starts in their 30's, it's probably one of these moments where I realize it makes sense now.

Di ko rin gets yan dati but now, I couldn't agree more. Well, I’m not there yet but close enough to feel it and I already have so many realizations.
