A letter from May 17, 2024

Dear CPA, Hi, I'm sorry but I got high hopes for ya. You should be a CPA now. But if you're not... No way!!! There's no way I'd address a message to you backing up a scenario that you're not a CPA. You're a CPA now. Never have I doubted you. (On second note, I'd be crying if you're not a CPA *yet or whatever* I'd be crying.) Hello, CPA. Jireh Faith Doromal, CPA Garaa uy!!!! I mean, wow. Look at you!!!!! You're now a CPA. Guess what, I'm not... yet. It's pressuring me now. Idk but I'm somehow scared. I doubt that you'd remember me now, but please do. It's 1:46am and six hours later I have to go to school early for an event: President's Hour. I'm staying up late as usual. I just had my night prayer. It was supposed to be quick because I had to redeem my time, but guess what?? I was crying to God in a long prayer. Idk. Stuffs just happen and altho it surprised me, I was pleased with it. God could really speak to anyone when you least expected it. I just want to remind you of this life for you to be grateful. Now that you're an accountant, how does it feel? How does it feel being stable? Could there be now less pressure? Do you no longer cry in desperation to God for guidance and strength to go on bc you no longer know what to do? Or do you now have another things to deal with, and another prayer to pray about??? Are your prayer requests now different? How are you? Is your life now fulfilling? I pray that you'd be happy. Maybe you're just starting, maybe at some point again, you don't know what to do after getting the title. Because there's always another step after another. I may be wanting to just take a step to be a CPA, but you're taking a step to be a working accountant. I don't think it's gonna end. There will always be steps after steps after steps. Idk. I just have a feeling that (u being an oa) even when you get the title, you'd still be... "now, what's next? idk what to do" Girl, get yourself together. Do it. Whatever you have to do, do it. See how you made it to where you are now. You can always do it. Step by step. Little by little. Girl, you can always do it. Not by your own strength but by God. I just had seen a post on Facebook. "No amount of work can supersede sovereignty." Girl, you can't do it any better than how God's gonna do it. Sit back, relax. Let God take full control. Just submit to His will. hahaha I don't know what I'm doing either... pushing my future self forward... that's fine right??? Idk where this will lead to either but maybe u needed this, we don't know I wrote this letter bc aside from it's gonna be cute to read in your time, it is really my wish to say I'm proud of you. I don't want you saying there "i wish my young self would say she's proud of me" enough with it hehe... This should be your assurance that I'm proud of you. OH NO, IM SERIOUSLY CRYING NOWWWW!!! BASTA I'm so proud of you. You made it. You been through a lot. You beeeeen through a looot, and now you have the means to be on the other side. To make it up for all of it. This is an opportunity for you to make things even better than before. A chance to turn your life around. Don't mess it up. I pray that youre blessed. Can you afford a cake? Maybe buy some and share it with your family. Celebrate randomly, you deserve it. Say iloveyou to your Mama maybe, and say you're proud of your Tatay. Maybe gift your sisters with something little... maybe a scrunchie or a bracelet. Just little things idc, don't pressure yourself hehe. You can also give random chocolates for your Ayaaaa. Send foods to your Lola and Lolo, too. ALSO Idk maybe do three nice things towards three random people. AHAHAHAHAHHA TASKS AMBOT UY, Unta happy ka. Oa raba ka ay. Sige rakag overthink bisan okay rana, molabay rana. Pero lagi dika iinvalidate. Di nako mag ask if you got someone, wala jud na. Dapat wala. Kung naa gani, bulagi uy. Sagabal na. Dghan kag goals, wamn tika gi deprive ana pero remember, ana ka di sa jud ka until matupad dreams mo. But if you have, siguro ga multitask ka hahahhaa. Great. I hope he knows your priorities and that he's okay w it. Need pa lang gyud nimo mobawi. I hope wa ka nalimot ana. Unta tabangan ka niya mareach imong dreams instead na ipalayo ka, na ilimit ka, na ipressure ka to have a life with him. Girl you can't do that okay? Maypa wala. Maypa mag inusara ka. If you are alone now, I'd be prouder. That's tough, pero sige lang. Make good choices ha. Labeuuuuu. Don't forget to pray. It's now 2:12. Grabe, late ko ani ugma. Dghan pa gani kog gusto iistorya pero okay nana. Dghan nakag basahon basin busy naka. Greet your friends pud. Basin naa nakay na off commu na friend, reconnect. Labeuuu. Regards ko BSA3. CPA napud mo tanan nooo. Garaa, basta mao ra tooo PS. Paggym. Ganahn baya ka astig Also, QE is in a month now, pero this is another step to get to where you are. Remember how you surpassed it all. Don't get discouraged. Labeuuuu Si Lord ra gyud gihapon imo saligan haaaa. Mwaaaaaaa
