Turning A Year Older...

Everyday now, since I transferred to MOGCHS, my life is becoming more and more one and in piece. My then student and colleague at Marymount, James U. commented that since my transfer, I have become lighter and exudes an aura of peace.. and glowing too. Hahaha... Well, he is definitely right. I take that as a sign that I am finally seeing the light. That I am finally getting the veil off my self... I am no longer in hiding as I am now ready to face the world again.

I thank the people who are around me, especially my Aunt Irma, for always reminding me that I am beautiful despite what have happened, and for being ever supportive. And now, I am coming out again. I remember, after the pregnancy I hit rock bottom. It was like I was there but I wasn't.. Like I am alive but part of me is dead... Like, I willed to survive but deep down I knew I was drowning... I needed a way out but everywhere I went, I was locked in... Swimming the currents proved to be difficult...

MOGCHS gave me the chance to set foot on a different world, different it may seem, but familiar... The challenges keep me awake and make me want to swim in the vast ocean again... this time, I know where I am going.... It isn't about me being a single mom here. It is about me being a teacher, and I strive to be good at it, which evidently flows naturally, hahaha... Anyway, the doors are now open for me, and Zarelle will eventually have what she deserves... By the will of God, this is it... I hope...

Tomorrow, I am turning a year older... The signs are everywhere... I thank God for this new life...new beginning... new hope...
