First sweldo. First treat: ๐
๐ค๐ก๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐.
Dining crew po ako noon sa Jollibee. I still remember my first sweldo, the first simple treat I paid for with my own sweat and sacrifices. Small reward lang. It reminded me of all the things I once only dared to imagine, and told myself, โ๐ฎ๐๐จ, ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐.โ
From that moment on, I wanted more, not because I was pressured, but because I finally believed I could build the life I used to only daydream about. I realized: ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฃ, ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐ง๐๐๐ก, ๐ฉ๐ค๐ค.
Now, psychologist po ako, and an educator, dedicating my life to fighting su***de, depression, and dealing countless battles of many people. Each day, I stand for those who think they have no one, reminding them that their lives matter, their stories matter, and they are never alone. This mission has become more than just work, it is a calling I refuse to ignore.
Iโll never forget how that one plate of sweet-style spaghetti made me feel:
๐๐ง๐ค๐ช๐. ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ช๐ก. ๐๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐๐ฎ.
It wasnโt about the food.
It was about proving to myself that all the sacrifices were leading somewhere.
So to the version of me who sat alone, tired but smiling over his first pay day meal
You made it. And you still deserve every bit of joy that comes next.
