In life people often strive because they have the motivation to do so.

Back in High School, I remember how people would aim for specific spots on the honor roll list just because they were competing with a person they want to surpass.

It is not a vulgar motto, but it is a silent agreement.

I know

I never really thought of life or school achievements as an award from a competition with someone else or a peer but instead I see this as an award for defeating myself within.

Why?

I am the only one who puts myself low.

My schoolmates have this goal to reach the top while I conditioned myself to stay low.

Of course being at the top such as: Top 1- is what we all yearn for, but if I see no sight of the students who I always see as the smart ones I often feel guilty for being placed at the top.

It feels so undeserving

Of course my parents would feel proud

But the inner would be more insecure

I want to eat yema

Even though I'm not a fan of Yema but everytime I eat this candy I remember sweet memories or just candies I used to eat with it back then.

"I want to eat Yema" is like my mini qoute to myself so I can remind myself to at least trust her(my old self)

I learned no matter how much I wanted to put myself down my efforts would never be put to vain.

I am trying to gain that confidence back and I will make myself proud.

It can never be today but it might be someday.

I know that I don't...
