At eighteen

I am Neda Marie Lemos Maramo and I just turned 18. I am a simple type of girl who would laugh at silly stuffs, cry at heartwarming movies and tv shows and touching reality scenes, gets giddy in uber kilig love couples and cheesy pick up lines and gwapos (secretly), eats anything on the table and have my own perspective in life, yet sees others' through their eyes and by listening and seeing through their life experiences, which also helps me see every detail of a masterpiece painting. I know that I grow in every thing I do; emotionally, mentally, spiritually, socially, and maybe also literally physically. Thanks to all the people who has different roles; people who are always there for me (morally and long distance), people who make me feel that my life is worth writing and blogging about, people who makes my heart sing and makes me shake my groove thing, people who break my heart and get mad at me in every mistake I make, people who inspires me, people who fills me with knowledge, people who don't make me feel like an outcast, to all those people who entered in my life, and of course to all those people who love me as I am.

Perfectly flawed is what I am, yet I know to myself how to appreciate life. Actually, I always think that we all live in a perfect world. Because in my point of view, a perfect life is a recipe with different ingredients, different spices, and different way of procedure, just like ours to different people. Some finished product may have an unsuccessful taste, but we can still repeat and do better. Some people may appreciate you, some may not. But the best thing is serving as a need to other people and to yourself (emotional boost). Right now, you may not know what your life purpose is. Look around, look back, relax and think. Sometimes, seeing the door you're going to is not the perfect solution to a happy life, but the things you do on your way there. The materials needed mostly will always be from you.

Regret is the worst thing in the world. So, enjoy life, dream, grab every opportunity, explore, take pictures and videos, worry less, and love like you've never been hurt because life is what you make it. Appreciate everything you have, because things will knock on your door on the right time.
