Your worth isn’t defined by how ‘productive’ you look lalo na kung araw-araw, naka-survival mode ka na!

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Sep 3

Hindi selfish to prioritize yourself lalo na kung sanay ka na laging ikaw ang nagbibigay.

Relationships don't always last forever, pero kahit short-term, they can still teach you long-term lessons.

A little reminder I keep coming back to:

"The world is a funny place... as long as we're laughing, I guess we're alive." ~ The Hero, Guild Wars 2 (Core) 😄✨

What made you laugh today?

Some days, the most radical thing you can do is eat well, sleep early, and not engage with your toxic tita’s comments. 😘

Hindi ka mahina for needing a break. You're just tired kasi minsan hindi madali maging ikaw araw-araw. Pero tuloy lang ang laban... forda stronger person tayo! Always! 🤎

Friendships that survive different shifts, different time zones, and different crushes? That’s the real endgame. 😏

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 23

Boundaries aren’t walls. Dapat lang consistent for everyone.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 22

Love life update? Wala pa rin. Pero at least alam ko na ang difference between affection and attention.

Being LGBTQIA+ doesn’t mean you have to fight all the time. Minsan, the real win is choosing peace and logging out.

Ang pinaka-underrated flex ngayon is learning how to rest without guilt, especially when the world expects you to be ‘strong’ 24/7.

Work-life balance? Minsan it’s just taking a mental health day para lang maka-recover from small talk with homophobes, tbh.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 18

Pagod ka hindi dahil mahina ka. Pagod ka kasi you’re carrying your truth in a world na hindi laging safe to be you.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 17

Dating while healing feels like job hunting: may qualifications ka, pero hindi ka pa ready sa next interview.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 16

Real friendships are underrated. You know... yung mga una mong tatawagan kahit 2AM, kahit may pasok bukas.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 15

Sometimes, ‘wala na'kong energy’ is your soul telling you, ‘This isn’t for you anymore.’ It's best to pay attention.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 14

Being queer and tired is real, but at least now we know when to nap and when to walk away.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 13

You know you’re healing when you stop chasing people and start chasing 8 hours of sleep.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 12

Family can be chosen, but boundaries? Non-negotiable yan, lalo na if you're protecting your peace.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 11

Rest is productive. Hindi mo kailangan mag-burnout para mapansin.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 10

The hardest part about dating? Yung explaining to straight friends why ‘it’s complicated’ isn’t just a status — it’s a lifestyle. 😅

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 9

Self-love is budgeting for therapy and milk tea. Nakaka-heal din ang sugar minsan. 🧋

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 8

’Walang forever’ hits different when your last situationship had more red flags than the last rally you marched in.

Feeling #blessed ahahaha

You don’t need to be out to be valid. Your truth is still yours, kahit hindi mo pa siya fully nasasabi.

SJ @samjohnsantos.bsky.social · Jul 6

Sometimes, being queer at work means smiling while dying inside... but at least we slay professionally. 💅
