I did something completely new recently - and honestly, a little terrifying. For the first time, I tried making digital journals and planners. What started as a simple curiosity (“Can I even do this?”) somehow turned into hours of experimenting with layouts, fonts, colors, and the small details that make planning feel personal and inspiring.
And then, in what I can only describe as a moment of beautiful insanity, I decided to actually put them up for sale - on Etsy and RaketPH. Me. Selling my own creations. Online. To strangers.
It’s surreal. I’ve always been more comfortable on stage or behind the scenes - directing stories, crafting characters, helping others express themselves. But this time, I’m the one putting something mine out there. Not a performance, not a script - but a product of quiet creativity, designed to help others find order and meaning in their own days.
I don’t know if anyone will buy them. I don’t even know if I’ll make a single peso. But I do know this: today, I turned an idea into action. I stopped saying “someday” and started doing. And that feels… liberating.
Special thanks to Theresa, whose inspiration sparked the creation of my very first journal - the first of, hopefully, many more to come. She has helped me tremendously, reminding me that sometimes all it takes is one person to light the spark. And the name of my online shop? The one sentence I kept on reminding her to do - Love Yourself.
Maybe that’s what courage looks like - not always grand gestures or life-altering leaps, but simply clicking “Publish” and letting your small dream meet the world.
