“Degree holder ka, bakit mas pinili mong gumawa at magbenta ng fuzzy wire crafts?”
I used to dream of becoming a flight attendant or working in a five-star hotel someday. I imagined myself wearing elegant uniforms, meeting different people, and building the career I once prayed for. I had everything planned out for my future.
But life doesn’t always follow the timeline we create for ourselves.
There came a point in my life where I felt emotionally drained and lost. I needed something that could somehow bring comfort back into my days. That’s when I started making fuzzy wire crafts. At first, it was only meant to be a hobby — a quiet little escape, something that helped me breathe during the days that felt too heavy.
Creating flowers out of fuzzy wires became my safe haven. Each bouquet carried pieces of my healing without people even noticing.
What started as a simple pastime slowly turned into something more. I never expected that the same hobby that helped me get through difficult days would eventually help me pay bills too. One order became two, then more people started appreciating the handmade pieces I created with love and patience.
And honestly, life humbled me in the most unexpected way.
I may not be working in an airport or a luxury hotel like I once dreamed of, but I found something just as meaningful. I found peace in creating. I found purpose in turning simple wires into something beautiful. And I found strength in building something on my own, one bouquet at a time.
Sometimes, success doesn’t look like the dream we originally had. Sometimes, it looks handmade. 🦋
