Once upon a time there were 5 little girls.
These girls met at one holiday party and expected nothing more than fruit punch and a plate of lumpia with rice.
But it seemed like God planned everything out when their families ran out of chairs for their table and decided the little ones would sit together instead.
"They're girls.....they'll get along....", one mom said. The grown-ups left them hugs and kisses and return to their seats.
And then.....silence.
The parents' daughters just politely faced their own plates and ate quietly until they were finished.
As years past, their eating gatherings weren't like this at all. They would all link arms and save seats for them to sit together. Their parents would just shake their heads and say,"
Man, they're inseparable, aren't they?" and let them be. The girls giggled about inside jokes, toys, and disney shows. They shared everything about their hopes and dreams. They wanted each other to be happy, but truly, be happy together.
That's what happened to these girls as they grew up. They would meet-up and catch up about their lives as if the weeks they hadn't seen each other were existant.
But sooner or later, they had worser problems bandaids can't fix. It was grades, siblings, boys, and when parents say 'no'. They wished to be prettier, smarter, popular, and anything else more than themselves. They often forget about what's important. Yet, it was these very same girls who believed in each other enough to realize they are all even more than what they had wanted. So much more.
And soon enough, they past through clouds of grey, rocky roads, and sticks and stones. They became better people because of each other. They all possessed similar qualities, yet, there's always one of them who had a stronger quality of a trait.
One girl gave them spirit. Someone to always laugh with and make their times together just a whole lot crazier. She was lively and was never afraid to be herself.
The other girl showed faith. She's not only devoted to her beliefs, but her belief that everything and everyone will find their way. Through hard times, she made the girls strong.
A particular girl gave wisdom. She showed them that intelligence isn't something to hide and that playing 'dumb' is a lose-lose situation in the long run. She makes them learn from each other everytime.
Another girl expressed beauty. She reminds the girls how possession of inner beauty is reflected towards your appearance. She would see only the beauty of others as well. And yeah, she's also pretty herself.
The last girl delivered honor. She gave goodness in the girls' hearts to never be ashamed of themselves. And that setting a purpose in your life isn't about glory or rewards, but because people expect you to make right decisions.
They all had tiwala-trust. They all had each other; sisters. And that's what we'll always have. That's what we'll always be.
We aren't so little anymore.
