Hi, thank you for reading. My name is Daniel D. Marquez and I am the owner of this journal. I am currently 20 years old, I live in Quezon City, and I am the youngest of one sibling. I have a bubbly, happy, and talkative type of personality. But the irony is, I am usually keeping that to myself until I personally know the person. The reason for that is because I am introverted and it always makes me shy to socialize. Nevertheless, I always make sure that I presented myself well and make the best impression among all of my first meet-ups.

You can learn more about me by understanding my philosophy in life and that is; "Money is the root of all evil". It is rest assured that I will never lie and deceive for money because if I let myself be tempted with any amount, I might as well let myself be tempted with anything else, for the love of money is the root of all evil.

It is normal for people to strive harder in life. It is natural if people want to feel assured with the opinions of those people around them. It is normal to build a reputation, a  good reputation that everyone would acknowledge.

But how much is normal?

I remember the times when I was still young, I would always look after my looks to appear more presentable with my classmates. I would always follow the standards of the society that tells us what's beautiful and what's not. I was very concerned about everything about me. I am always striving to be perfect. It's as if my mind was set to please everyone around me. I want to alter my appearance, my face, my clothes, my personality, everything bad about me, I want to change. I built an image of a person who I lived by every day. I hid in a mask, concealing everything of my trace.

But that didn't last long because everything had changed when I learned how to use the internet. That's when I realized that it's much easier to build a reputation online.
