This isn’t a thing or something that about school or around my environment. The past few months, honestly before I turned 18 there were so many problems coming and I don’t really know what to do anymore.

Nobody really knows what I feel inside. I decided to keep it to myself. Not because I am selfish, but I feel that nobody cares, and nobody give a damn on me. Call me OA or something but that is true.

There are times that I really hate myself for being me. For being compared to other people because they are good and lastly I hate myself for being so weak and dramatic. I hate drama, but what the heck happening to me the past few months, I really don’t know.

I know to myself that I love people; I really love them even if they take me for granted, I am always an option and always the second choice. And because I realized that, I decided that I should love myself MORE.

“Nobody will love you, except yourself. Accept that.” This is what I always think. Knowing my own worth is enough for me to love myself. I love my thoughts and emotions no matter how annoying and weird they are. I love it.

Call me self-centered, selfish, bitch, OA, name it. But one thing is for sure. I love myself, I know what I truly deserve and I don’t care if people judge me for being me. This is the true me, the true Katrin. And I truly love myself.

It’s already the start of -ber months! well guys a part of me wants to make the time run slower but a part of me can’t wait for December. Yaayy! Christmas Time babe and it means vacation. Hahahaha (lol I love to sleep and eat)

I just want to share with you guys what happen to me the whole August month. So let’s get started! Keep reading.

So yes! Here’s the update for my whole month of August, how about yours? Share it with me!

I am a type of girl who’s really appreciating memories in my life, either good or bad, sad or happy. My blog really focus on Personal and Lifestyle Niche but still I try to mix and match and make it flexible to have different posts/topics in it.

No hidden agenda, I really enjoy blogging or even posting my own rants. Well, it’s MINE. I don’t care if people will not read it as long as I am satisfied with what I wrote, then so be it. 

For me to have inspiration to blog, I read different blogs from my favorite bloggers, like Arisse De Santos, David Guison, Camille Co, and many more! I am proud and happy to subscribed and be one of their avid readers.

My blog serves as my online diary where you can find my rants, fulfillment, achievements, or even small things about me. That’s why I am grateful to have this.

I got a chance to interact with other people through this blog, I got a chance to attend some events and blog about it. Honestly, I am happy to have friends even though in a social media world but still I consider them as my friends. And readers, who motivates me to blog about something worth reading for.

So yeah! So far these are my reasons why I started blogging. So far so good, I think.  And now, Do you still remember why you started blogging? 

I love doing this thing. Hahaha Thank you guys! I hope you enjoyed. Make one similar to this and tag me. I wanna know you more

So here are the signs of having real friends (Based on my experience)

*They always motivate and uplift you.

*They always make you happy.

*You can count on them anytime, anywhere.

*They are true to you, even if truth hurts.

*They cuss on you, face to face.

*They eat your food FIRST.

*They know your phone password.

*They know how to pissed you so bad.

*They know your favorites even small things.

*Your secrets are SAFE with them.

*Distance is never ever an issue. You can always keep in touch.

And yes! Finally I'm done. Hahaha I just want to say THANK YOU to all my friends out there, because of you I was able to write blog posts. So yeahh! And to you the one reading this! See you next? Definitely YES!

FAMOUS / ATTENTION SEEKER

This is really a weird thing for me. Like whaaaat?? Hahaha I decided to make my own blog corner, write everything I want, take pictures and ta daaaa! But why is it that other people think of me as a famous girl or an attention seeker? Hello! I'm a BLOGGER, a student-blogger to be exact, I'm not famous and I don't seek attention, I just want to express and not to impress by using my own blog corner in the internet.

POSTING EVERYTHING

Remember that being a blogger means that somehow you are a public person, but also remember that I have my privacy. I don't post / blog everything. My blog is only a part of my life, not my whole life. I just share whatever I want and yeah! That's it!

EARNING

We can say that you can earn from blogging BUT you must have a good traffic and a good content for others to read it. Well, I am still a student, and studying is my TOP PRIORITY and not BLOGGING. I may received some invites, products to be reviewed or anything.. But it is not ALWAYS, it happens occasionally. I may be earn from this in the future but not that soon.

So far, here are some of the things that other people think of me as a blogger. Can you add some more?

* Face Masks

* More books to read

* Eating good foods

* Blog Posts

* Met new friends

* I won two bloganniversary giveaways from my favorite bloggers ( ate blanche and ate jean )

* Research paper -- coming on my way

* Almost everyday Coffee

* French Fries Barbeque and Cheese flavor

* Finishing almost forgotten blog drafts and reschedule them to post.

And now, you the one reading this! What are the things that's keeping you happy lately? List them down and let me know!

*They nowhere to be found when you nee them. But when they need you, you are always there.

*They will give you cold treatment when you success. In short, INSECURE.

*They will never listen to you, to your opinions, to your ideas and even to your feelings.

*They will drag you down. If you're in trouble, bahala ka na. They will leave you.

*They pushed you to wrong decisions, bad influenced in other words.

*Everytime you're with them, you'll feel that you're not one of them. You will be OUT OF PLACE.

*Your secrets are never safe with them even though they promised that they will keep it.

*They will always make fun of you, humiliate you always, and they don't care about what you feel.

*Lastly, they don't want you to be HAPPY, instead they always make you CRY.

Dear Teenagers,

First I have questions…

SO YEAH, DON’T WORRY I TELL YOU IT’S OKAY TO FEEL LIKE THAT

Remember there’s nothing wrong to feel like it is the end of the word, to feel like sad, to feel like everything is falling apart and to feel like everything is NOT OKAY.

We all know that all human beings in this world experiencing ups and down. That is already natural to us people. Those challenges and problems is given by God to us to face and to become mature and strong enough to face again the more difficult ones. Also to reminds us that we are not alone in this world. There are people who will really help us and He is there to guide us and love us unconditionally.

Again, I’ll tell you. IT IS OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY.

In this crazy world, you are not the one who’s miserable, who’s taken for granted, who’s left behind, and who has problems. There are people you may not know maybe they have a problem worse than you so be Thankful. Just Pray and always Breathe.

Life goes on and on. And just keep smiling.
