BEYOND ONE'S VIEW

“A person’s true feelings can’t be seen within his or her facial expressions, sometimes you have to look beyond One’s View to clearly understand one’s situation”





Since grade 5 , I started using eyeglasses because the doctor said I have a hereditary eye problem. So even though I hate wearing eyeglasses, I need to for my own sake. As years past, I feel comfortable about it thinking that I’m different among my fellow students. But this made me change my perception about myself. Maybe they do not know that I am a type of person who mind and think about things even if it’s none sense.

When I was 13 years old, I first heard the words that really affect my life. A relative of mine said that “Si Joy mukhang MANANG, buti pa si Ruth pang model ang dating “. This made me think of such thing like “Am I ugly? “, “Why do they always say those phrases whenever they see me?”, also a weird question came to my mind “Does God really want me to be like this forever? “. I know inside that it’s wrong to question God, but maybe I thought of it because I was hurt. “Why do they need to compare me with others? “. I have all the “why’s “ in my mind but I can’t express my thoughts and feelings, so I just accept what they thought of me because I know that God has a plan for me, “why do I need to be bothered anyway ? “ . This challenge made me stand up and face life. Whenever I heard my relatives and other people saying such things, I just smile at them and whisper: “God I know you loved me and you don’t want me to be like this forever”.

And now with God’s grace, He changed my views in life and He let me enjoy life without feeling discriminated by other people. I want to live my life full of love, being simple yet happy. These challenges made me grow and learned so many things. I’m very thankful ‘because I know that God doesn’t give me all that I want but He gives me things that I really need and most importantly what I deserved.

“Be thankful with all life’s circumstances because this will help us to improve ourselves”
