A yes-man is someone who always agrees with a person in authority in order to please them.
you tend to be a yes-man when you are in your late teens-mid 20s
there's no shame in admitting that you are.
or you were.
We've all been there, really. Wanting to be seen and be recognized, wanting to be found in places where "popular" people go and usually, being young makes us think that we have all the time in the world to waste in these eye-rolling activities. Social media has actually made these wasteful endeavor worse. I was in the "transition" era where I felt the change between pursuing what you really want vs. going to where you want to be tagged or captured on someone else's picture on Facebook. A decade ago my weekends were spent either playing DOTA, Left4Dead, and other online games (if I actually have the luxury of time I would very much like to play again) or I was with my girls getting drunk. To date, it's still easy for me to be drunk DESPITE all the drinking sessions I've actively participated in..broke or not (Hey Francis!)
Mama told me that I will get tired of it eventually and unbelievably, I did. I went back to my first love which was reading. I got tired of impressing people who don't know me, I got tired of straining to hear what my friends trying to say over the blaring noise in the club. My circle got smaller; it used to be a Venn diagram but now it just resembles a mole. I can only count less than 5 people i text with every day, less than 10 people to run to when I want to share my problems and you know what? I'm actually pretty cool with it for the simple reason that these people are the ones I love.
When I can, I meet with people who find no shame in wanting me to be great (and vice versa), it's very encouraging to belong to a group who will water you when you are wilting, who will laugh at your strength knowing that who you are won't make them weak and insecure because hey, they are also strong too. They read my blog and you know who you guys are. Each one of you is irreplaceable. Thank you.
I have a strong affinity for 60s inspired fashion and electric pleats. I've always been the under-dressed type and just last year I decided to step-up (a little) and bought a line of old-fashioned dresses. I got this dress for Php25 only at the Tabunok flyover ukay-ukay. Also, this is the first time I've worn heels in almost 2 years. I only have 3 pairs of heels because I already disposed some. No regrets.
