Hi, I'm Jane, I grew up in a rural island province of Leyte in the Visayas region of the Philippines. We had the longest rainy season in the whole archipelago making our island's forest so green and abundant in wildlife. I grew up exploring these places from the mountain and hills to the beaches and the smaller islands. Even in my almost three decades of existence, I haven't yet visited all of them. But this is not about that, this is about me and this is my story.
I once thought life is meaningless because my life felt empty. Then I looked back and realized that life should be spent on living and not grieving. It took me years to get out of depression. I felt stuck in my own situation, I felt like life is a routine. Then I remembered Belle's words from The Beauty and The Beast, 'I want much more than this provincial life.' It remained in me. I want to be in an adventure filled with books and mystery. Yet I am not her, I am not Belle. This is my reality and I learned a lot. Life is never a hurry and I admire a few things in life like,
• The rainy season
• A cup of coffee
• Spaghetti, fries, & roasted chicken
• Gardening
• Prehistory literature/fiction
• Human Psychology
• Craft & Arts
• A little bit of music
Also, in a world filled with uncertainty and chaos I found my shelter in Christ Jesus. I too learned to carry my own cross. My responsibilities are not for others to carry nor my pain. It does change things too, it helped me grow as a person. To own myself and to let the Lord do the things I cannot do.
This is me and it's a pleasure to meet all of you.
