WAG KANG TANGA! (WKT)

INTRO

Hep! Hep! Teka lang... Taympers! Baka naman isipin mo na balasubas akong tao dahil sa title ng libro ko. Pero bago mo ko husgahan, allow me to introduce myself...

Ehem.

Ehem.

Hi! My name is Elliedelights. Ako 'yung tipo ng babae na minsan maganda, pero kadalasan panget! Ganado akong kumain lalo na kapag fried chicken or chicken wings o kaya hipon ang handa.

Isa akong full-time accountant sa umaga, online writer naman sa gabi. Pangarap ko noong maging isang lawyer, kaya lang hindi natupad. Naka-enroll ako sa law school ng biglang na-approve 'yung Visa namin papuntang Canada.  Ever since, para na kong naliligaw na tuta. Unable to figure out what she wants in life.

Bukod sa pag-kain mahilig talaga akong mag-sulat.

I love writing. But for the past 2 years, I've abandoned it completely and I've been unable to continue my novel, Love-Nat.  Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari. It was only recently that I finally understood... Ako 'yung tipo ng writer na masyadong emosyonal. On top of that, I am too fvcking genuine. Writing is my way of expressing myself, and my current novel has stopped me from doing so.

I've changed (and am still changing) and the protagonist in my rom-com novel is unable to keep up with me. I no longer share the same traits and same beliefs as her. I am no longer that girl who is in love with her past. I am no longer that girl who is chained from distant, bitter memories. I am not the same girl who is filled with romantic notions and idiotic ideals of a non-existent prince. I've finally come to realize that there is more to life than just silly romances. Anakshutang animales lang!!!

Oo, I write things that are personally relatable to me.

Love-Nat unfortunately no longer portrays me. Yes, I can finally say that I have moved on! And I am happily traversing through this so-called life even though it's difficult AF.

I am writing this book to finally bring the sanity back in my life. Ever since I turned my back from writing, I feel like I've stopped breathing. Hindi ako makahinga. Parang may kulang sa buhay ko.

I have to admit. I've been too calculative and I've been avoiding risks. I think habang tumatanda tayo nawawala 'yung lakas ng loob natin sa sarili. Ang dami kasing consequences ng bawat desisyon natin.

I am posting this book here on Wattpad and I don't give a fvck kung may mag-basa man o wala. In fact, hindi na ko sigurado kung meron pa bang nagbabasa dito sa Wattpad given the current circumstances of our generation. Everything has to be visually told either through a photo (Instagram) or video (Youtube). Believe me, I've tried both. But it's not for me. I can't repeatedly post filtered photos of myself and pretend that I look perfect 100% of the time. I really can't. I tried. I'm not perfect! I'm just not. Hindi naman ako kagandahan para maging influencer. Hindi rin naman ganun ka-interesting ang buhay ko para maging Vlogger.

So I am back to this. I will stick to what I do best, WRITING. Writing my thoughts, my feelings... and pour my soul using these letters. All the while hoping and praying... that someone out there will listen.

Kaya ito, lalakasan ko na lang ulit ang loob ko na muling mag-sulat habang paulit-ulit kong naririnig ang mga katagang 'to sa isip ko sa tuwing naduduwag ako: WAG KANG TANGA, ELYONOR!!!

WAG.

KANG.

TANGA!

Once again, my name is Elliedelights.

And it is my pleasure to meet you! :)
