Dear Kathryn Grace,

Acceptance of Our Lives` Paths | 1 Quote and 2 Interpretations

“AcCePTaNCe OF ONeS PaTh IN LiFe IS NeCeSSArY SO He CAN OBTaIN LiFe`S BONUS.” by The Graceful Mist (www.TheGracefulMist.com) 

“Acceptance of one`s path in life is necessary so he can obtain life`s bonus” is a quote I created using the symbols of chemical elements for an assignment in Physics class in high school. This quote was initially meant to express that accepting our own designated path in life is necessary so we can fully receive the blessings meant for us and make the most out of them. However, based on a short and positive remark, the teacher had a different impression and interpretation that is geared towards our acceptance of other people`s achievements in life. Both initial interpretations are quite similar depending on whose path the reader is thinking but both make up a perspective conducive to a respectful society.

Personal Reminders: A Message Before 18

"Dear 17 year old self,

You`re about to turn 18 in less than an hour. Before you reach the considered age of majority, please know that despite reaching legal adulthood, you shouldn`t lose the innocence of the child within you. Adulthood is not the part of life wherein one loses the innocence and purity of a child, it`s merely a part of life wherein one acquires heavier and more serious set of obligations and responsibilities which entails survival.

Making Changes | The Graceful Mist

Dear readers,

It has been such a crazy journey starting new and old alterations in my lifestyle but during this journey, I realized that making changes is not easy because it requires great self-control and dedication. There were things I was afraid to let go of, but with faith and determination, I`ll hopefully be able to overcome and let go of them.

Back-to-School: What`s in My School Bag?

Hello lovely readers,

Neon Pink Backpack - Reebok

School already started for me unlike for some of you, school is still probably around the corner. Since back-to-school season isn`t over yet, I have a more personal blog post featuring my own school bag.

My Neon Pink bag is from Reebok. The front, back and left side have thin padding (as seen on the first and third photo of this post). The design is simple but it has a very young vibe to it.

My Mother`s First Death Anniversary

Today is June 11, 2014. A year ago, my mother passed away. It all came to us in a shock despite the knowledge that she was terribly sick. It was so confusing as to why God let that happen knowing that she is needed and loved by many. I had all these undependable plans in my head on how the future is going to be but the twisted planned destiny still gave a scare.

Life is so unpredictable. One day, you`re happy but then the next day you`re just miserable. I can still vividly remember how I found out that my mother passed away. During those times, I just entered a new chapter of my life in college. I was doing well at school and adjusting to the new environments I was in. During those moments, most of the things I have in mind are plans, goals and dreams in life. I was so intent in reaching higher achievements in life that I often take for granted my relationships with people and God in exchange for the prides and honors in life.

By realizing the happenings that has happened in my life, I look back and think how uncertain life is. I just remembered that I was a bubbly, independent, loving, caring, bright, and wide-eyed child but now I`m an unpredictable teen in an erratic world. Because it seems like the lemonades I was given were overwhelming enough to change the way I view most things in life.
