Alodia Gosiengfiao reveals that even her mom didn't support her passions when she started gaming.
When you look at Alodia Gosiengfiao today, you'll see someone who's successful in the many facets of her career whether it be cosplaying, gaming, and her business.
But the 31-year-old personality said that it wasn't a smooth sailing ride to get to where she is now after a fan shared how he feels discouraged with his career as a streamer knowing that only a few share his passion.
He said, “Minsan nakakadiscourage lang din talaga lalo kapag walang sumusuporta sa'yo. 'Yung mga taong inexpect mong tutulong sa'yo sa ginagawa mo ay siyang hindi mo maasahan.
“Kakaumpisa ko lang ng livestreaming… share dito, share doon. Ako lang mag-isa ang nagsye-share ng lahat ng pinopost ko dahil wala naman din ibang tutulong.
“Pero para sa akin, tiwala lang. May pangarap akong gustong maabot kaya hindi ako susko. Sana 'tong 140 followers ko maging 140k balang araw. Hindi ako susuko.”
Moved by the fan's words, Alodia replied by saying she understands his situation because she too felt the same way when she first started in her career.
“When I started gaming… wala pong sumusuporta. Sinira ng mom ko 'yung PC ko kasi masyado akong naglalaro,” she declared.
“But, I still found a way. Balance ko studies, gaming, and other hobbies (art/cosplay/business).
"I graduated ADMU and still pursued my passion without expecting anything in return nor anyone to help me.”
She reiterated that while it may be discouraging at first, the result will eventually pay off if he only trusts the process.
“Parati ang nasa isip ko, masaya ako sa ginagawa ko, wala akong ginagamit [na tao] o tinatapakan at may natutulungan ako. At patient po ako.
“What I have now, I never asked for. Dumadating na lang po, and I am very grateful for that.
“I wish more people would realize: Okay, may skills, presentable 'yung stream, pero malaking bagay po 'yung values, and pagkatao ng isang tao.
“Trust the process, always be kind to others, and don't get discouraged. It took me 17 years from my first online game. Good luck!”
