I know how to drive a car! I've saved enough money! I can speak English! I am a good person inside and out! But I can't drive to big cities. I can't afford to visit prestigious hospitals. I stutter when I interact with native English speakers. I get enraged when I come across terrible people. Who am I fooling? Why am I doing this? Is it to be easily accepted by certain individuals? Or to fit into society effortlessly? If we're not ready, we should never pretend to be someone that we're not. Because apparently, something or someone will try to knock us down. We all aspire to be successful as fast as we can. However, life is full of ups and downs. All we need to remember is to be eager, diligent, and silent until we make it. #Magpakatotoo Tayo #Never pretend #Face it, not fake it
