Exploring Possibilities - Nina Ancajas

Why Chicago?

Because the moment I hear that name, it triggers a rush of memories that go way beyond just a single city or a quick weekend getaway. It anchors the entire epic journey, the wild road trips, and the pure chaos of our lives in the US back in 2005–2006.

So, brace yourselves: it’s time for a major throwback. 😂

Every weekend, we transformed into a bunch of wide-eyed kids chasing the open road. Keep in mind, this was 2006. There were no smartphones. Our entire digital footprint lived on clunky digicams. We had no GPS, which meant our survival depended entirely on printed maps and a designated "navigator" who was usually just guessing.

I’ll also never forget how collectively underprepared we were. Every single one of us brought exactly one coat for the entire three-day trip. We wore them everywhere. My high school friend from the Philippines looked at our unchanging outfits, completely bewildered, and asked the ultimate question: "Why are you guys not changing your coats?" 😂 Hey, at least we matched!

What matters most..

Still true. 😉 . I had completely forgotten about this page and just rediscovered it today. 😂 My Instagram is set up to automatically share my feed here.

There’s a woman in this group I found myself in who has been very jealous of me from the very start. Sometimes, she uses jokes just to make me look wrong. I’ve been aware of her many judgments about me ever since we met in 2022.

With the tools I’ve learned from Access, I’ve been able to simply observe rather than fight back or confront her. I’m aware of what’s going on — I just watch and see what she’ll do next. There are times when I think she gets even more confused by me because I never get upset. Sometimes, she can even be really nice — though I can tell it’s because she doesn’t know what to do when I don’t react. (Nice is different from kind.)

Today, she did something again that was very obvious. 😊 So, what do you do when someone is being a “c*nt”?

Has anyone here ever experienced something like this? What would you choose in this situation?

My favorite question is:
Is this relevant to my life and living?

And here’s an amazing reminder:

“Nothing anybody else chooses has any relevance to your life and living.”

If someone is jealous of you, what if you could be grateful for it?

If someone is judging you, what if you could be grateful for that too?

They’re just proving how powerful you are. 😉

Stop trying.
Take long walks.
Look at the scenery.
Doze off at noon.
Don't even think about flying.
And then, pretty soon you'll be flying again.

Paul went out as Tombo and spent the whole night being called Chuckie or Waldo. The disrespect to Studio Ghibli is real. 😂

There was a time when I slowly began to forget what was true for me, so caught up in meeting other people’s needs that I forgot why I was here and what I was here for.

My husband even caught me saying this absentmindedly one day: “I used to be able to fly. I used to be this… I used to be that…”

And I found myself wondering how I got there.

Most of us experience setbacks. We get sidetracked, lose our way, or get carried away by other people’s expectations and needs until we forget what was true for us.

But it doesn’t mean we failed.

What if it was just a detour?

What if, instead of making the experience wrong or judging ourselves, we asked: 

What gift can I receive from this?

And what if you could use it now to propel yourself toward creating what you truly desire?

That magic within you, what if you access it now, claim it, own it and BE it. 😉✨

How did I get so lucky? I've got friends like home. 🏡 ❤️ 🤍💙💜

A Date with Miss Chicago 🧡💛

There is something truly refreshing about being in the company of someone sincere, honest, and genuine. I really enjoyed her presence, and our conversation was both nurturing and uplifting. Sometimes, the simplest moments with the right person can leave you feeling lighter, more grounded, and grateful.

It reminded me that we have a choice in the people we allow into our lives and the energy we surround ourselves with. Choosing people who are sincere, kind, and genuine can make such a difference in how we feel and how we experience life.

A beautiful reminder that the company we keep is a choice — and choosing the right people can be one of the most nourishing choices we make.
