Here is to Those Who Think They Are Just Mediocre

 Here is to Those Who Think They Are Just Mediocre

By Gabrielle A. Palma


Just average. Terms that are usually coined with our names. Not actually digging deeper to the struggles and successes beyond the hands that overwork, mind that overthinks and heart that over-understands.

Surviving in a setting where everyone is fed up with such high expectations. People often perceive any work should come out best, if not, better. We always tend to unconsciously neglect what is just good. Because honestly, sometimes it gets tiring to overachieve when you know for a fact that it is not always a matter of exceeding something but just being enough. 

To those who think they are mediocre, you are not. You are just waiting for the moment—your right time, your right place, and your right path. Sometimes, the booze and galore in every drink just do not make sense and make the situation even more chaotic. It is okay to just pour a little bit and then just fill it again when empty. 

To those who think they are mediocre, standards are not real. There is no standard menu for we all vary in taste buds. We differ in favorites. Not every food on the table should be always the same thing and expect it to be the best. 

Keep flaunting elegance in your simplicity. Little did the world know, it burns the tongue when there is too much additives on what they put in their mouths. 

Plain flavors taste better sometimes you just have to be put in the correct plate and on the right serving time for you are more than enough.

WHO IS THE REAL WINNER IN LIFE?

WHO IS THE REAL WINNER IN LIFE? By: Wei Won People may laugh at you along the way, People may refuse to help you because they believe that you cannot return the help they’ll give, People may humiliate you for being nobody, People may treat you like you did wrong to them, People may pull you down, You may feel drowning in a part of a sea where no one else is able to help you, Your relatives may don’t consider you as their relative,  Your friends might lose their interest in you, You may lose your loved one, You may feel despondent, You may engulf by darkness, You may want to end your life,  You may want to give up, But before you do that, you need to read this! Dark moments in life are inevitable and that’s normal - we all go through that way. You are not alone in this battle, again, you are not alone. We all struggle and suffer from the pain caused by the toxic people in our environment. Never punish yourself just because people are making you feel that you’ve done wrong to them even i

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos By: Gabrielle A. Palma   Stinking smell that lingers in the nose as the tears are dripping rapidly from the eyes. The heart is slowly shattering as the feet unhurriedly walk towards the awful corner. In her arms, there lies an existence—a wonderful one. Yet vanishes and expires as she rests it on the surface. Drifted away and suddenly, “Ay! Tae ng kalabaw.” Stepped on the disgusting thing coated with nasty guilt. Beside, is a child—abandoned and forgotten.  Living in a twisted system ruled by various oppressors, life of the poor in the Philippines, is indeed a deprived one. Leaving every decision and fate with no choice, but to pull everything about them just to survive even if it means scratching a part of their dignity and principle.  This is where the circumstance of child abandonment enters the discourse lay upon the table. As the pressing issues continue to surge such as poverty that leads to a financial problem, broken marriage, and teenage pregnanc

Colors of Life: Lost in the Realm of You Through the Shades of Hue

Colors of Life: Lost in the Realm of You Through the Shades of Hue By: Armani A pair of rounded eyes was pierced in an unfamiliar thing left on the table. With confusion in the young mind, the small-boned child got closer. Those tiny hands touched. It was a cube with various of colors. Diverse and peculiar, the kid thought. She moved it counterclockwise and the next thing she knew she was in another dimension.  Way back until today, anything that works with the mind is still concealed in a stigma. Whatever dwells in the mentality of an individual seems to be obscured in a discourse. Hence, people that are struggling seems to seek a way of somewhat escape from the reality. One instance is the boom of “psychedelity.”  According to Humphry Osmond, a British psychologist, it lingers with mind manifesting. It deals with consciousness, altered senses and hallucination. On another note, it can be associated with expression of arts through animations, visuals and spectrums. Of hues and colors
