Tita Amiga

It’s been 7 months since the last time I posted. It’s actually frustrating that I wasn’t able to sustain the plan of utilizing this account. I was supposed to promote myself heavily as a financial advisor, but between those months, life happens.

My brain was all over the place, and I couldn’t focus on what I should prioritize. I was caught in the middle of everything—juggling three side hustles, my attendance at the 6-month inner healing program, becoming a student, and me entering a new season as a wife. And I haven’t gotten to process everything yet, only until now.

And as I navigate myself on this new journey, I would like to start practicing gratitude. I want to express my gratitude to our Lord for the strength and wisdom He has given me especially during the whole wedding preparation. I couldn’t thank Him enough for the financial provision and the support from our family and friends.

How about you? What are you grateful for in your life lately?

This was an idea way back in early 2019, when I turned 1 year being a financial advisor.

“Ah gusto ko gumawa ng page tapos aside sa financial planning and tips, gusto ko din mag-share ng mga ibang adulting stuffs”
“Gusto ko magkaroon ng avenue na matuto din ako sa mga isshare ng iba”
“Ohh I want to connect to other people with the same sentiment or value”

Some close friends are even supportive with this idea to the point that someone helped me in doing some of the materials which I will be posting.

I published my IG page last year pero hindi ako nakapag-commit to post and justify it with too many excuses I could come up with.

“I have so much in my plate at the moment”
“Wala pa ako sa mood na upuan yan”
“I’m not motivated enough to start it”
“Kaso di naman talaga ako magaling magsulat”
“Paano kung walang magbasa?”
“I do not have the courage to do it”

I still continued to share the idea to some close friends until I heard someone say, "maybe you should just give up that idea and look for other things to do instead".

It was a slapped on my face kasi I realized na “oo nga noh, super tagal na naka-park ng idea na ito pero wala ako ginagawa”.

And those exact words motivated me to finally start this because I cannot give up the idea of spreading awareness on managing finances, the importance of insurance in our lives, sharing some of my adulting and healing journeys and connecting to people while learning from them. Nakakatawa lang na ang pag-reverse psychology pa ang naging motivating force ko to commit to this.

As the saying goes "When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump".

Ngayon, mas naiintindihan ko na kung bakit fear ang opposite ng love. Fear often cripples us in doing what we love.

So today, Tita Amiga is finally saying Hello to everyone. I hope I can share nuggets of wisdom from my venture of adulting while also learning from your comments and messages.
