I Doubt Myself

Everyone sees me as the quiet, tall girl na laging honor student, polite, at parang walang problema. But they don't hear the voice in my head that keeps saying kulang ka pa rin.

Ilang beses akong umiyak sa gabi, wondering when I'll finally be enough for my family, for everyone else... and for myself. I'm Shelly Ellysa Berro. Ysa. And for the longest time, I believed every doubt was true.

Then there's Jeo, someone who could have anyone, but chose to look at me like I matter. Like my fears aren't weaknesses, and my silence isn't a flaw.

This isn't a story about becoming perfect overnight. It's about learning that it's okay to doubt yourself... as long as you keep moving forward, even with all the fear.
