Reflection#2: Me, Myself and Love

June 15-17, 2009

We were asked to look ourselves on the mirror. And Ma'am asked us these questions: Who can you see on the mirror? How does he/she look like? Do you like him/her? Do you want to change something on his/her physical characteristics?

I can see someone on the mirror looking at me and it's me. I look terrible but I like myself. I like my eyes, I like my nose, I like my lips, I like myself! Yeah, I want to change something on my physical charactersitics-but it's just before, when I was still in elementary. I know my face doesn't look perfect but I accepted it already since the start of my high school life till now and I love the way I call myself perfectly imperfect. It's because, I love what God has given to me, and it's already a big blessing. And the main reason why I Iike myself is because I am unique. Even they say I'm chubby, I'm not pretty, I'm just cute, so what? It's me and I'm the only Ma. Airra Hernandez who's blessed with these characteristics.

I hope you guys get what I mean. It doesn't matter if you already have pimples or what. Just accept the fact that it's a part of life and it's a part of adolescence. Accept who you are and love yourself because, others will surely never love you if you, yourself don't love yourself.

Always keep in mind the magic words, " I am who am and I love my freakin' self!"

We also discussed about the stages of adolescence which are the early stage, middle stage, and late stage. And during the discussion, I have learned a lot and one of it is about love.

I have learned that love and passion is different. And I realized, in our stage, we should not take boy-girl relationship too early because, we are way too young and we still have lots more to focus on which is more important like studying. It's not bad to have relationship but you should know your limitation. And you should know how to balance your love life and school life and so on because if ever you got a mistake, you can never erase it ever again. That's why in our exams or quiz, "No Erasure" because it's the way of our life. We can never go back in time that already passed and correct the mistakes that you have done. All we can do is to restart or start something new. And I know, it's hard to start all over again, so we should be sure on every step that we will make especially when it comes to love.

Always keep in mind that, " You can live without someone you love because you are given by God a different life and heart, so don't say that you are my life and I can never live without you!"

These are the learnings I got from this subject, some are just my opinions. If ever you are disagreeing about this post, no offense, it's just my opinion. But I'm hoping I'm leading you on the right track. Heheh.
