Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: Hi! My name is Andrea, Im still a minor, I live in Philippines, and my pronouns are She/Her. I have so many interests and hobbies such as cosplaying, music, arts, etc.. I am more focused on creativity than logics. Ambivert— and a gemini if you may ask. I also have skills that can be used in everyday life but I won’t put it here— too many(not to brag ig).

What Inspires You Every day? : Creativity, Music, Ambition, Rewards, Upcoming Challenges, and something new. A quick reminder and motivation to live when losing hope, that there is something waiting for me at the end and the hardworks aren’t going nowhere.

What is some words of wisdom you live by?: Slow progress is still progress. No matter how slow, there is still a destination waiting for you. And no matter how slow you go, you are still lapping those on the couch.

What is your ultimate goal in life? : To make the world a peaceful, safe, and better place. A world where justice is fair and served right, no one lives in fear, and no one will walk on anyone’s shadow.

How have you been during the pandemic and how has it affected you? : I am completely different before and during this pandemic. My mental health aren’t stable, I’ve witnessed how greedy the world is, I also noticed how f—cked up the system is. On the bright side, I’ve learn new things and skills, and I learned how important it is to treasure every moment with the right people.

What is a message you would like to give others? : To the young people like me, I want us to change the world, make peace. Be independent, you can’t just tie yourself with others forever. Have courage, be kind, and be brave. No matter how hard the situation is, always remember—no pain, no gain. Stand for truth only, bad things will contribute nothing to your life.

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: I’ve mentioned that I am a minor and experiencing too many mental health issues. You wouldn’t want to be me, please take care of yourself, Mental Illness has no age. I am an unorganized person, I plan too many things at once and struggle to achieve them all— but at least I am helping myself. I also have obsessions with fictional characters, who isn’t BTW? Hahaha. I don’t like to tell about myself more publicly, I already spoke too much, so I guess that’s all!
