27F Lf: Someone to talk to daily.

Hi! I'm 27F from the Philippines, looking for a daily conversation partner to talk about life and everything in between. I’m hoping to find someone to chat with in English so I can practice my communication skills and expand my vocabulary.

If you’re also looking to practice your English, I’d love to help each other out! We could even transition to voice or video calls once we get to know each other and get comfortable. Drop me a message if you're interested!

childhood trauma

I was a victim of SA as a child by a relative, I was around 7 or 8 years old at the time. I can't remember exactly how old I was, but what I was wearing and how it happened is still very vivid. I don't know why, pero normal ba yon? that's the reason I got depressed and started self-harming. I never told anyone until I was in my 3rd year of high school, and I will never forget the first time I cried so hard to someone while telling her what happened.

I still see that person and nakakausap minsan, but I always feel so self-conscious whenever he's around constantly fixing my clothes and making sure I'm wearing loose, oversized shorts. I know this feeling might never fully go away. Though I feel like I am healing, the trauma he caused is still here. Ang lala ng mga lalaki, no? How could someone do that for their own pleasure without thinking about the harm it would cause? It took me years to be able to tell this story without crying.

I only recently realized from being here on Reddit that so many women experienced this when they were young. Grabe, napakadaming tarantadong lalaki para gawin sa bata yon

If you are someone who went through this and just want to rant, vent, or cry, you can talk to me. I’m willing to listen if it helps lift even a bit of the heaviness within you.

Looking for trading resources

Can anyone recommend trading videos for beginners to advanced levels? I'm looking into high-risk, high-return strategies. Or if meron po kayong trusted na mentor. Thank you!

Tapsilog

I'm 29 now, turning 30 tomorrow, yet I still remember that one morning when my mom cooked tapsilog and prepared rice, egg, cucumber, and tapa only for two people.

We are three siblings and I'm the youngest. I know I'm not the favorite. I knew exactly that time that it was meant for my brother and sister. Feel ko ang babaw na everytime I think about it naiiyak ako and nasasaktan.
There was also one time I wanted to celebrate my birthday, kaso pagod si mama at ayaw magluto, so I asked my cousin to cook spaghetti for me and asked for money from my papa so I could buy a cake for myself. Hahaha I still remember how funny it was buying my own cake I was 12 or 13 that time.

I'm okay now, di ko lang maiwasang maiyak kapag naaalala ko. I hope future parents, or parents now, na never niyo iparamdam sa mga anak niyo ang favoritism, kasi dadalhin nila yan hanggang pagtanda. Yon lang gusto ko lang mailabas to baka kahit papaano kapag nalala ko, di na maiyak hahaha

one of the major cons of solo traveling? Still trying to build up the courage to set up a tripod just to get a photo of myself! 🤣 It's definitely an awkward struggle, next travel I'll be more confident na hahaha
