A Prey of Itself

Claudia Hazel Alonte

Never would Claudia have thought of encountering "losing yourself" and "finding yourself" phase. Everything was turning out too good for her. Maybe too good that one day it took everything away from her. Even her identity.

While building up a good reputation, she tried and worked so hard to earn all the good compliments a person may say. She lived up to every expectations of her from others and from herself. She wanted to be the best girl, the best person, to the point where she caught herself in the middle, losing her true self.

She was outgoing and not scared of what anyone would say. She didn't care about what other people think of her, but also knows her limitations on acting up as a 'tough' person. All of those were her. Were.

What is she like now? Who is she now?

Perhaps, she needs to find herself again.
