An Introduction To My Identity and a Summary of My Relatable life.

Hi Steemians!
I am Neil Richmond A. Ederango. 19 years old from Cebu, Philippines.

Do you want a relatable story? Okay, let me tell you one.

Once upon a real time, there was this human who already had the life he always wanted to be, although not the perfect one a reader could imagine. Everything he needed to start working with his dreams were already supplied by the Lord but as we all know that humans, if not all, would always tend to ignore these blessings (for their hunger of happiness as they excuse hardships). When he was young, his family would encourage him to develop his performing soul and also his academic drive. That's when he found out that he was a naturally born talented in so many aspects. He pleasantly sings, gracefully dances, beautifully creates artworks and he also tops in class. But this kid needs to be encouraged always to keep his development flowing. And because of a loving family, he turned efficient both in his studies and talents.

April 5, 2010, Summer after my Grade 6 Graduation. Everything was more of a discipline. The smile resembles fewer regrets and more opportunities.

When he grew older, modernization really did a lot of bad effects on his mindset and attitude. Of course, he cannot blame all of it unto the situation because we all know what consequences we will take on the decisions that we make. It's just a matter of time that the development on his talents diminished and his flaws multiplied. He attended some workshops during vacation but he chose to spend time on gadgets and play computer games more than to practice. As a result, he became more stressed and a part of his confidence blacked out. The dream of being a performer faded like a literal dream which will be forgotten as you wake up. From that moment on, he decided to focus all his efforts on the academic path. Even in studying, he gets tired easily for he gives more time on games and even crams on exams.

Although he made a lot of mistakes in his life, he still graduated in elementary and high school as the Class Valedictorian.

This picture was taken on March 20, 2015, Secondary Education Graduation Day.

This made him see a glimmer of hope for his dream. He thought that if he can excel in school, then he can excel in being a performer.

In college, he preferred to be an aviator but he has this little bit of color blindness that made him re-picked a course. He thought that in high school, he excelled in almost all subjects except math. So, he wanted to take the challenge of taking a math course. He took the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Course for it is the center of all Engineering courses and also it can relate in aircraft. Then again, life turned out to be more complicated because Mathematics was a subject that requires discipline. He plans to do the best in striving harder to finish the long wait for success. But as he do it, he never stopped doing arts especially singing for it is one of his dreams. Here is where the story is cut. Of course, I can't tell you what's the end for real stories never end.

This story helps me introduce my steemit account. You want to know why? because it's my real life story haha. The story is cut to my present life.

As I wrote this account introduction or more of a life summary, here are some pieces of wisdom that have gathered and I will offer them to you to apply with your own life or to the life of others, if relatable:

1. Do the things you really love to do. You are the main character in this sequel and because the future is uncertain, whatever you need to accomplish, do it now. Dreams are easy to imagine but hard to actualize. But never give up on them. Stay away from things that don't matter in the end even if they act like they do. Strive to do your best always.
2. Love exists everywhere. Most of the time, it is expressed by the people around us and sometimes, it is disguised as bad events in your life. Love are people, things and happenings that make you change or stay to your true character and is often confused for infatuation.
3. Life is never cruel. The world is a balance of positive and negative events, people and energies. All the things that happened were created to perfection by God and were only understandable according to how you see it and what you have learned from it.
4. Mistakes from wrong decisions can never be undone and are stocked up in the past. Overthinking makes them more noticeable and hurtful. One thing you can do to repay them is to continue with life and make some changes. If it seems impossible, life finds a way.
5. You can't always be kind. Sometimes you need to say how you feel no matter how awful they can be heard. You can't keep on adjusting to others and it is better to make them know of what is wrong with them in a right way. If life will always be positive, it will be boring. There will always be problems and changes. But of course, never forget that forgiveness is always the link to good relationships.
6. It is impossible for all to be given. You also need to learn on your own. These two sentences could mean a lot and is very applicable to many situations.
7. God is real. When you have fulfilled your dreams, life will be still lacking without Him. Never forget to pray. The main duty is to preserve the world given to us. As long as you don't step on people and you don't destroy the balance of nature, then you are on the right track.

That's all for now. Sorry if my introductory post got late for 4 months. It took time before I got my self-esteem to work with me.
Thanks for reading my post and God bless you always :)
