During the hardship that my beloved countrymen experience because of the COVID19, I have seen the best and worst of people. This taught me a lot that even after leaving the Philippines for 10 years, still, the mentality has not changed a lot. Indeed, it is as slow as the growth of our economy. Helping people was not my intention, but it made me happy when people sent me photos of their kids with the groceries they bought from the money they received.
It is overwhelming. It is saddening.
What's more saddening to me is when I see most people just care about what they can get "now" than what they can get "now" and "tomorrow". It is saddening how everyone can be so talented yet lazy. Talented in the sense that they can create lies and stories for sympathies, empathies and prizes. Lazy ink the sense that when a task is asked, they prefer to lose than win.
How are we going to improve our current situation if we only know one basic human instinct- self-preservation? How are we going to rise as one if we are divided? How are we going to help other people when we only support people who desire things only for themselves?
I thank you for all the support and love you have given me for the past three months. If you are able to help other people even in the simplest way, give half of your bread, and the rest will give half of theirs. This is something I learned growing up from the Bible. Miracles. It happens.
To me, what I have gone through (fighting what was diagnosed to me- depressive episode), and recovering from it and getting and fighting to be better every day, is a miracle. Meeting you and the people who make me happy even virtually means a lot to my recovery. I started to talk to people more and I have gained back my confidence. I learned how to fight back because I have your back. Your encouragement and patience are things that may not be worthy of money but to me, it is priceless.
The time you have spent with me, the late nights, the understanding when my mood changed, and the patience to stay online when I am LIVE and on group chats until I sleep, I value that. I will never forget that.
You are there when the people closest to me weren't. You were there when I needed strength that the medications could not give me. You were there to pray to make every single struggle I face easy. You are my miracle.
I know one day, people will see what you see in me. And I hope and pray that you will never get tired while I achieve the goals, Macky Academy and helping more people, one Vlog at a time.
For the next few weeks, I will be focusing on creating better contents. My honeymoon days are over for learning things back and it's time for better quality contents.
Thank you and may God bless you always. Spread love and laughter, be brave and be kind and stay beautiful as you are.
Thank you Macky Agents!
