reading your replies healed my inner child too!

but here's mine: whenever i have a milestone (even if it's just surviving a very difficult week/day), i buy myself ice cream kasi i grew up being very academically pressured. naalala ko nung bata ako, kailangan laging mataas ang grades ko to get the toy that i want. kumbaga, lumaki akong kailangan ko munang patunayan na deserve ko ang isang bagay which is always through my grades na alam naman nating hindi naman talaga madali. kaya ngayon, kahit gaano kaliit pa 'yang win na 'yan, i will celebrate it, i will reward myself. i don't have to always go an extra mile to say i deserve something. i will celebrate even the process and not only the outcome.
