Hola! My name is Shala and I’m 35.
I was born and raised here in Manila, Philippines and I plan to stay here for the rest of my life.

I am angry, but I am just really hurt.
I am quiet. I’m watching.
Is this real? Or just another dream?
I don’t just trust. I don’t just give in.
I think deep. I care so much.
I love deep. I feel so much.
I thought I’m the only person in this community who is having a hard time writing a self-introduction. Apparently, I’m not the only one. Thanks to @mulletwang for making me realize, that what I’m going through is pretty much normal.
If you must know, this is the third self-introduction I prepared. I chose this piece because it felt real. I know I meant every word I wrote. I sat down, took a deep breath, felt my heart, smiled, and thought…
“What am I worried about? This is all about me. No one else can write me better than me!".
Then I started writing…
A curious creature, a student of life who wants to learn anything and everything, an expert of nothing yet.
A passionate failure expert who does not wallow in misery, but dusts herself off to try again.
A southern metro girl who persists in discovering the infinite possibilities the world has for everyone, even when things seem hopeless.
A loving daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunt, niece, and cousin, who in her own way secretly strives in making this world a better place to live in.
A lover who values time and loyalty.
A single mom who wants nothing but a good life for her daughter.
A friend who is there when the whole world turns against you.
A digital nomad who manages an e-commerce business offshore.
A traveler who appreciates beauty in everything, ready to embrace what life unfolds.
A life-driver who cares deeply about everyone but herself.
And a sunshine on a cloudy day.
And I’m here to share my life...

I hope the Steemit community can take in something from my life experiences and learnings. I hope in my own way, I can help make others feel somehow alive.
And for those who haven’t introduced themselves yet, I know writing about oneself is not easy, and mine is far from perfect either. But, hey! Remember it’s your truth! If it makes sense to you, then you’re good. :)

@Cocoland, thanks, good and also dying from bots that are flagging my comments as I am Spam, because I say hello everybody, I ask everybody how they are and have been complimenting like this for over twenty years but some people hate that I am too friendly like Disney films haha and @AnotherHero is attacking me like I am Soros and we probably both hate Soros but he is hitting me like I am a Furby haha.
Awww! :( I can't see the red warning anymore. I just tapped the (-). Hehe:)
Keep smiling. Have a lovely day, Coco Land.

Hello and welcome to steemit great intro I look forward to seeing more content from you.
Thank you @melanson! I noticed you just joined steemit. I'll be waiting for your "introduceyourself" post.
@cocoland i have my intro up now if you have not seen it yet :)
@cocoland you nice
Thanks :)
oke and plisss vote and flow back,,
That was a very nice introduction; it sounds very sincere! I found it while checking to see if you followed the re-steem requirement for my weekly contest.
Welcome to the platform. The contest actually requires that you re-steem the #happystore (not the contest itself). In case you don't know, the link with the hashtag is a search function that finds all posts using that tag. The actual happystore has the image with the happy faces. Click the tag, look for the post with the happyface image and click that. VERY SIMPLE! At the bottom of every post is the icon to re-steem. Click it and a message asking if you really want to do that pops up. Click OK (or YES; I don't remember) and you are good.
Oh! I forgot to mention that while at the #happystore, why not promote your latest posts at the same time?! Enter them under the POST PROMOTION category.
Thanks for the follow up @happyme. I found the post, upvoted, then resteemed it. I hope that validated my entry.
Also, I just replied to the Post Promotion category. I hope I did it right this time. :)
Yes, you did it perfectly! Thanks a lot.
Nice! :) Thank you, too @happyme! :)
