🎉 Happy 2-Year Anniversary in the Digital Space, You Made It Girl! 🎉
Two years ago, I could only dream of this life… and now here I am, working in the digital space, building a life I once quietly prayed for (and maybe even some blessings I didn’t ask for hehe).
It all started with a simple goal: I just wanted to earn and be financially independent. My first job was as a CSR. I had just graduated with 0 experience, but they took a chance on me. I stayed for a year, and I’ll always be grateful for that start, it gave me the confidence that I could survive… well, mostly survive, anything that came next.
A friend later referred me to a BPO company, and I got hired as an ASE. My salary doubled, which was amazing buuut it wasn’t easy. It was my first time living alone in Manila, hopping between projects, and meeting a ton of new people. At first, I loved it. But then I landed on a project I hated. The work was stressful, some people were… let’s say “special,” and my anxiety decided to RSVP permanently. That’s when I knew it was time to look for something better.
My third job was amaaazing, great pay, kind clients, supportive teammates but it didn’t last long. The client account left the company, and I realized sometimes what feels too good to be true… actually is. (Life: 1, Me: 0. 🥲)
Then came TikTok. Somehow, watching people work from home as virtual assistants made me think, “I want that too.” I applied, failed countless interviews, but I didn’t stop. For the first time in my life, I wasn’t lazy haha, I just kept going. Slowly, interviews became routine I just showed up, went with the flow, and learned from every “no.”
And then… a client absorbed me directly. Guuurl, this was impossible. They offered work from home, set me up with a proper workspace, and great pay. At that moment, I knew my prayers were heard. God moves in mysterious ways… and He made it happen.
From there, I went all in. I worked harder than ever, found more clients, learned so much, and slowly started building the life I had once only dreamed of.
I’m not at the top yet but I’ve come so far. And for that, I’m proud of myself for never giving up, and SUPER thankful to God for guiding every step.
If there’s one thing I want people to take from my story, it’s this: growth takes time, patience, and faith. Keep showing up, keep learning, keep trying. Dreams really do come true, one small, brave (and slightly stubborn) step at a time. ✨
