The Story Behind "Aphitcha Gift"

The environments during my childhood and teenage years, both at home and at school, fostered in me; the love of reading, habits of reflecting, introspecting, writing learning journals, fascination of all self-growth and learning related topics, and at the center of it all, spirituality especially on the practice of mindfulness and to tying all elements into one, integration works. 

​

The year 2010 was my gap year with the intention of trying to discover and design my own path of what I want to do after high school. It was that year when an unexplained realization clicked in my head about how there were parts of me that were stuck somewhere in the past, mainly to the death of my mother.

With the realization, I made an extremely focused intention, "I'm going to get out of this darkness, find my own exit and be happy no matter what"

​

This was the point where my inner path of self-healing, integrating with spirituality, self-growth, and wellness that has been nurtured throughout the years from my environments and also my own passions, all come together with a purpose.

​

From then on, no matter what I did, or who I met, my attention lasered on how this or that can answer or be connected to my burning question, "how do I get out of darkness?" to the point that it was like an obsession. I reflected, I introspected, I asked myself lots of questions, I kept trying to look at things until I got my answers to each question I had and I noted them all down to mountains of my learning journals that started as an assignment during grade 10th and I continue on it since as it became a habit.
