Recollection 101

Year III - St. Paul Recollection 2013

I think that this was my third recollection this year. In every recollection, I always have a realization in the end. This year, with my section, I realized that each of us was experiencing hardships in life. I can say that they were even having more problems compared to me. All along I thought it was only I who was fooling myself in trying to be strong on the outside even though I had been hurting in the inside. They say one smile can cover up your whole personality, I guess that’s  just who I am. There are times that I smile because I want them to think that I’m fine and that they won't have to worry so much about me. I also realized that crying is not a sign of weakness. My teacher told me once that when you cry, it means that you are strong because you know that you're ready to face the trials you are going to face.
