Perfectly Imperfect Me





Title: Perfectly Imperfect Me
Writer: Mark Andrew Proctan Adonis (SuperMarkyMacky)



I wasn't born rich, I wasn't born to be royalty, I wasn't born with superpowers, and I wasn't born to be the next Helen of Troy, "the face that launched a thousand ships". I honestly don't know why, for God's sake, why? I guess, I was stubborn in my past life, but all kidding aside. It's somewhat fine. As I assessed myself in the mirror, I could see a "jack of all trades", master of none, a "so-so" in all aspects. I can say, I'm at this stage where I'm still struggling to wholeheartedly accept myself, as I am, and it's somewhat fine. Self-acceptance, big word for many and a challenging work for me.

It's a long and winding road, with humps and bumps, especially nowadays, we are living in a generation where more often than not, the amount of likes on your Instagram account is so precious. Subscribers on your YouTube channel? The more, the merrier. Hearts on your tweets and TikTok videos? The more, the better.

We are living in a generation where everyone seems seeking validation from others, from strangers on Social Media platforms, from netizens, and it's undeniably contagious.

Everyone has their own timeline, as they say. And here I am, still acknowledging the process of embracing my flaws. I'm not yet fully ready to accept the "perfectly imperfect me" and it's somewhat fine. I'm not going to rush this. I'm not going.

Hello world! How are we doing so far? Are you enjoying your coffee while reading this blog? I hope so. I don't know why I'm so tired today and I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed. Yeah, blame Bruno Mars! Just kidding! Yeah, it is a lazy day today. Sadly, as much as I want to sleep, I still need to finish this new article. Perhaps brewed coffee is the best answer to boost my mood. Oh my! Believe it or not, a new month is approaching. Happy February in advance! Time flies, I feel like this year for me is about food adventures. It's just my prediction but you know it's really not a secret that Filipinos love to eat and try new things. Nowadays, more people are becoming adventure seekers toward the dishes they eat and more people are starting to appreciate different cuisines than before. Perfect example are my colleagues. Don't include me, I'm hiding.  We are new in our company and we thought that the best way to bond is to ...

The long wait is almost over and I can feel the summer here in the Philippines. Without a doubt, one of the things you have on your list this April is "grand vacation".
