Weakness: Being Alone

In any situation, I don't want to be alone myself. Every time I'm by myself, I find myself feeling anxious. It all began when I began making friends out of fear of being left alone once more. When I'm surrounded by individuals I care about, I feel relieved. When I'm with them, I can be who I am. Because I was frightened of losing them, I truly don't want to argue or disappoint them.

But as I become older, I've come to understand that people are not always in our lives, there are moments when you have to be independent and alone. While some may remain, the majority depart. I'm truly grateful of those that decided to stick around despite the ups and downs.

 These days, I like spending at least an hour or two alone, and I can honestly state that being by myself doesn't have to make me unhappy. There have been many changes in me recently. I can now refuse requests from people, even if it disappoints them, and I am no longer reliant on others to help me make decisions. The fact that I am able to say that I can be alone and still be relieved doesn't mean that I want to lose the individuals I cherish. Even now, being among the people I care about makes me the happiest.

    Being alone is not a weakness, rather it is an opportunity to grow unnoticed.

    Don't be afraid to be alone. Only yourself will always be with you in the hardships and joys of your life. I am so proud of you because you know how to value yourself and have time for yourself. Just keep going!

    Everything has a weakness, and that's okay. Not because you've got a weakness like that; it means you're not strong enough. No, being alone is okay; it helps you understand yourself, relax, recharge from the stress etc. Work for it more and slowly you will be okay. Never forget that you're strength is also your weakness.^^

    You're right! Thank you for reminding us that being alone is not always sad. Sometimes we need it to be able to concentrate on our mental health since we can focus on ourselves in times and situations like that.

    It is true that being with your friends is fun and comforting since you feel safer around them. However, being alone is not a weakness. Maybe you need to just relax and cherish your own company. I hope you find peace and learn to appreciate yourself as well.

    Sometimes, we just need time alone to reflect on ourselves and unwind from everything that we're worrying about. There is nothing wrong with that, you are not selfish in choosing yourself first.

    Don't be afraid to be alone, because in the end of the day all you have is yourself. Being alone doesn't mean you're sad, sometimes it can cause happiness, always remember that it is still possible for you to be happy even tho you only have yourself :)

    Being alone is not a weakness; it's actually a strength. It's not a bad thing if you take your time to be with yourself, because in the process, you can reflect, grab a peaceful moment, and be yourself. It's fun to be alone at times. ^^

    You're definitely right, Ella. This cat tells you qoute on qoute that "People come and go". And that it's not so bad being with yourself. One of the things I learnt in my time here on Earth is our happiness depends on us, it is within us 😊

The Equality of Genders

Woman can do what men can do Background Women have disadvantages as a result of gender roles that differ. This restricts their ability to safeguard and provide for their health as well as their access to resources. Compared to men, the percentage distribution of hired women in agriculture is smaller. Growing up, I saw that boys would often remark things like, "Mas malakas ako kasi lalaki ako." I do not want the next generation to have even greater prejudice towards guys and assert that men have greater ability. Aim Gender equality aims to create a society where men and women have equal rights, obligations, and opportunities in all areas of life. Objectives • Encourage individual female success • Have a conversation about gender equality with your family and kids. • DISAGREE WITH RACIST AND CHAUVINIST ATTITUDES. • ASSIST WOMEN IN GETTING POWER. • Encourage collaboration between all genders. Target The main target audience can include: • Government officials  • Heads of private

The Equality of Genders

  This advocacy poster aims to ensure that all people, regardless of gender, have equal access to opportunities and rights. Gender roles differ and this has consequences for women. The goal of gender equality is to establish a society in which men and women are afforded equal opportunities, rights, and responsibilities in every aspect of life.                        I used Canva to create this poster, and Ibis Paint was used to create parts of the logo. The circle's element stands for women's struggle for equality. I want this advocacy to be taken seriously because, as we all know, women are frequently denigrated by society. Some people are finding it difficult to obtain employment due to the unfair gender restrictions placed on certain positions. Growing up, I witnessed boys making comments similar to what I've mentioned in my advocacy: "Mas malakas ako kasi lalaki ako." I don't want the next generation to be even more prejudiced against men and believe that

Friendship: A difficult start

Making friends was incredibly difficult for me in nursery school. Being too shy to communicate and interact with other kids made me isolate myself. After a year, I changed schools, but I remain the same, I lack friends and continue to be a quiet child in a classroom full of energetic children. However, a kid named Marcus suddenly came up to me and said he wanted to be friends. My very first friend was him. We grew close and remained closest friends until grade two, when he relocated to Manila. Despite this, I can claim that he was a huge influence on my ability to make friends and interact with other people. In the years that followed, I began making new acquaintances, and I was glad. When I transferred schools in fifth grade, I was initially shy as usual, but over time, I was able to get along and make friends with them. I used to find it difficult to communicate and make friends when I was in a new situation, so I'm grateful of my current group of friends
