An Open Letter to my Readers

Dear Readers,

I really don’t know what to write in this blog, but I do know one thing and that is I want to make a blog- a productive one of sorts. Filled with ideas, inspirations, and imaginations that can hopefully mold the world into something better. 

I am just an ordinary eighteen year-old girl with an extraordinary amount of perseverance. I have tons of insecurities, and I can say that I am doing a pretty good job in denying that I have insecurities. People see me as the tough kid who can endure everything and can talk her way out of hell. I change my hair color drastically every moment that I grew tired of looking at myself in the mirror, I am even sporting a blue ombre hair as I am writing this. I admit that I do not own the prettiest face in the whole vastness of the universe, nor do I have the perfect body defined by society. My weight is always fluctuating and I really do wish I weigh lighter than I do right now. 

I love makeup, but I hide in the four corners of my bedroom wall when I am putting it on my face because I don’t want to be judge by other people, because to them it is either too much or too little and there is no in between. I like being the subject of any photography or appearing in any film, call it vain but I like it, because it gives me the freedom to tell people that I love myself in the face of the world that told me not to. I am an aspiring writer who desire to inspire the world with the words that I have weaved into poetry, letters, articles, recommendations, and even with my simple comment in the suggestion box on the counters of any coffee shop. I am still a work in progress and I have no authority over anyone yet but myself, and I gave myself the right to dream big and aim high when I realized that nothing and no one is capable of holding me captive. 

Above everything else, I wish to inspire young girls to get to know their selves better than they do right now, invest in their selves, help other girls who are in need, make their voice count and become the person that they want to be. Because the world is trying so hard to make every girl in the world doubt their worth, as well as doubt their selves and their capabilities, and it is the duty of every girl in the world to help change it in any way that they can.

Now that I have established what people thought of me, my insecurities, the things that I like to do, who I want to become, and the things that I want to accomplish in my lifetime, I figured I now have some ideas on what to write in this blog. I just hope that a great number of people will get it, because I know from the very beginning of this journey that I will never be everybody’s cup of tea. To the people who get the idea on why I want to do this, you have my sincerest gratitude, and I hope that every single one of you will muster a great courage and do a courageous act of changing the world for the better.

Love,

Niña Liza
