Hola! My name is Wanda. I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with their personal burdens. I enjoy listening to people, it is something I found therapeutic while I am also trying to overcome my personal struggles.

I am cheerful and quick-witted, perceptive and talkative. I am never satisfied just doing one task at a time. I have a very adventurous spirit. I love to be active both physically and mentally so expect me to make quick responses and even quick decisions. I am often immovable, quick to get angry but also quick to forgive. I am self-centered and egotistical with my time and affection. My psyche is full of bizarre ideas and you have to keep me busy to bring out the best in me. Idleness destroys me.

Although I was introduced to maturity at a very young age, enduring a lot of trials and hardships did not make me view life in a negative perspective. The past ten years of my life has been a rough battlefield, like, I was sent to accomplish a very tough mission. At first it was like digging a cave, fishing alone in the middle of the sea…it felt like climbing the highest mountain. I had no choice but to embrace the sufferings, endure the pain, swallow all the sorrows and face my fears. At this juncture, I learned to play with the tricks, knew how to deal with the twist. I realized that getting tired has no room for me and it would be a lame excuse to flee the war.

I would be a hypocrite if I say I do not long for things I still do not have. But that doesn’t bother me. We cannot always get what we want. It is best to enjoy life’s simple blessings and learn to enjoy what is on our plate. Every day is my lucky day, every night is always my last. At night before bidding goodbye to the world of reality, I take time to worship my Creator, give Him thanks and praise and ask for forgiveness. And in case, just in case, I am no longer entitled to have another day of my life, I ask God to take care of the people I love dearly. I may be losing my religion, but I never forget to recognize God's presence and make sure I compensate my shortcomings in other ways.

I may not have legion of friends but I feel so blessed to have a few real allies who did not leave during my darkest hours… people who have awaken me from my nastiest nightmare. I know and I can feel that the morning is drawing closer, and when the golden rays touch my skin, I would share every fragment of blessings to those who stood beside me.

If you find this revelation unappealing, thank you but this is me. And if you think my words are appetizing, welcome to my world! I've overcome a lot in life and would like to help by listening to you. If I'm online, then please feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to connect. Glad to see/meet you here!

CARPE DIEM!
