When I Chose Myself: A Gentle Reminder on the Power of Health Insurance

As a designer, my life moves with the rhythm of seasons. There are times when work flows gently and other times when it rushes in like a tide. During one of those busy seasons, I found myself completely immersed in meeting clients’ needs—taking measurements, creating designs, meeting deadlines, and ensuring every detail was perfect. In the process, I became so stressed and exhausted, yet I kept pushing forward, placing everyone else’s needs above my own.

Eventually, my body asked for attention, and I had to go for treatment using my health insurance. From the very beginning, the experience was comforting. The care I received was warm, patient, and truly intensive. The medical staff treated me with kindness and professionalism, checking on me consistently and making sure I was comfortable. I felt safe, reassured, and genuinely cared for, and that feeling alone brought healing to my heart.

What stood out to me most was the peace of mind health insurance provided. I did not have to struggle or delay care in an emergency. Instead, I was attended to promptly, allowing me to focus on recovery rather than worry. In those quiet moments, my thoughts drifted to my husband and kids. I realized that staying healthy is not only about me—it is about being present for the people who love and depend on me. My husband’s support and my children’s smiles reminded me how important it is to protect my health.

As women, especially as wives, mothers, and hardworking professionals, we often sacrifice rest for responsibility. We keep going, even when our bodies are tired, believing we can handle it all. But emergencies do not give warnings. Stress, illness, or unexpected situations can arise at any time.

This experience has encouraged me to lovingly advise everyone to register for health insurance. It is a wise step toward preparedness and self-care. Health insurance ensures access to timely and quality medical attention when it matters most, without unnecessary panic or delay.

Today, I see health insurance as an act of love—for myself, for my husband, and for my kids. When I am well, I can nurture my family, pursue my passion, and live fully. Your health is priceless. Choose to protect it, because you truly deserve care too. 💕
