Hi beautiful people! I am Sha. It's me Hi! I'm the problem it's me—these are the lyrics of Taylor Swift's hit song entitled "Anti-Hero." Yes! I am one of the millions of "Swifties," or Taylor Swift fans. Who can relate? 🤹♀️
I opt to use the screen name "Journeywithsha" because my life is a journey. As Srikanth Mahankali says Life is a journey. It’s one of the most famous phrases that we hear in our lives. It’s true because, in life, we face many heartaches. And there are also many more joys that make our hearts pleasant. It’s not a destination for happiness or sadness, but a continuous journey to experience every aspect of this life.
My life story
Hello, again Hivers!
I'm Sha, short for Sharon; I guess my mother is a fan of Sharon Cuneta, which is why she gave me this name.
So it’s been said, "Life is a journey." As I look back on my life, it has had many rough roads. I was an orphan at the age of nine. My mother passed away when we were still very young. My sister was just 2 years old at that time. Coping with loneliness and fear at a very young age was hard and challenging for me.
Back then, I had my father and my sister, so the family decided to move into my grandmother's house. My father is not showy, so for every activity, I had in school, it was always my grandmother who would go up on stage to put the ribbon and medal on me until I graduated high school. My life indeed is a like roller coaster ride. After I graduated high school, I chose to be away from my family. I decided to be in Manila to work, as well as to study in college. It was not easy being a student and a part-time employee. I encountered a lot of challenges. I was assigned as a housekeeper in the convent. It was quite a tough job, especially if you didn't know when and how to start cleaning. It's also not just about cleaning; we have rules to follow. There was one time when my boss wiped dirt on my face, but I still didn't give up. I worked hard and loved my work. That was my routine for five long years. My work started at 6 in the morning and finished at 3 in the afternoon. After my shift, I headed directly to attend my classes. It usually ended at 11 p.m. Until I graduated and received my college diploma. I am thankful that I had overcome all the struggles and challenges that came my way. I hope I've inspired you as I tell you that all problems will end. Let go and let God.
The Reason I am here
I got interested in this platform when a friend of mine, 
Dear reader, I invite you to join me on an expedition—a voyage we can experience together. Journey along as we explore the course I set out on: hills, valleys, the rocky, and the steady.
Journeywithsha, as she has a lot to offer with her journey of life, travel, food, and faith.
Keep tuned. Thank you for your time and reading.
