@weirdojylrss sorry for the very late response, when everyone is doubting you, including yourself, just believe that there's God beside you. And that's my secret. Everytime na nasa backstage ako, doon ko binubuhos lahat ng kaba at self doubts ko and before I enter the stage, I exhale my negativities and inhale the positivities because if you put thise altogether, it'll distract you and you must blew it off the moment you are gonna face the audience. As a beauty pageant contestant, you must know that you are being positioned into a diserning arena where there are people who are gonna criticize you wether it may be constructive or ruthless of what you serve them on to the stage. But none the less, those criticisms must be set aside and focus on what you believe in. Because we beauty pageant contestants aren't just public figures, but we are also influencers with advocacies and causes. I'm so sorry if it was too late for me to reply but I hope you'd still continue joining pageants wether you may lose or not. It's part of the journey. Continue walking your dark path until you see the light!! Hwaitinggg
