I often complain about how expensive food is nowadays. Even when ordering online, I feel defeated if I can't find a discount voucher to lessen the cost— to the point that I won’t order anymore because I can't swallow paying ₱60 for a delivery fee.

When 2025 started, I looked back and realized how much I had spent on eating out and food deliveries. And I felt guilty because, with all that excess spending, I could have bought myself a Kindle Paperwhite or a nice pair of shoes!

And those foods weren’t even healthy.

Yesterday, during my lunch break, I went to a nearby tindahan that sells produce and bought some fruits and vegetables. It was expensive! Total is ₱200 for a sweet corn, an apple, a pear, two carrots, ginger, garlic, chilis, and some bananas.

While walking back home, I realized that we choose our own hardships in life—and the expensive things we allow ourselves to spend on.

I'm trying to change my mindset when it comes to food.

I'm allowing myself to spend on food that’s good for my body. Why should I complain about ₱200 worth of whole foods that nourish me when I normally spend the same amount on drinks at a café?

When I look back on this year and see how much I spent on food, I don’t want to feel guilty. I want to be happy knowing I spent it on the right kinds of food.

Honesty hour. The past few weeks have been stressful for me. I'm extremely anxious with my health, no serious illness but I'm extremely anxious and my brain is highlighting the symptoms which makes me overthink that I have more serious illness.

The funny thing is I needed an outlet for all my worries but I can't. I'm torn between needing to have an outlet to being scared that once I verbalize or write them down they will become my truth. I guess the past few years made me unemotional. I've always been vulnerable, I wear my emotions on my sleeves. I was never scared of being vulnerable, until I was. I've recently realized why, but it'll take more courage for me to finally share it.

I'm taking baby steps. And this, reviving this account, is one of the first steps I'm making to be vulnerable.

I've had a conversation last week, and a learning that struck me was that it's okay to feel scared and anxious. Those are negative feelings but they are still emotions. Our society highlights that bliss is the goal, being happy is the normal emotion. I guess that's the reason why when we encounter these negative feelings, we break down. But negative emotions are also valid.

I knew in my heart and my mind that I'm strong. And I guess, along the way, I never allowed myself to be vulnerable because I'm supposed to be strong.

But there's also strength in vulnerability.
