2022 Letters for the Moon

Encanto

Well, familiar noh? Title 'yan ng Disney movie about the family Madrigal. Hindi na'ko magbibigay ng other infos para hindi ako makaspoil.

But, the movie is about the family members' purpose. And may isang babae do'n sa family Madrigal na walang "Gift" (Kala ko ba hindi na'ko magbibigay ng other infos)

And somehow dahil sa kawalan ng "gift" ni ate mo Mirabel, some truths we're revealed. But ang ating bida which is si Mirabel, she's always positive even though na sa pamilya niya, siya lang 'yung walang gift. May parts na nagkakaroon siya ng breakdown, but babangon pa din siya proudly.

But I believe, sa mga Pinoy ay madalas na madiscriminate 'yung mga taong hindi magaling sa isang bagay. This is one of the toxic Filipino cultures eh. When you're not good at something, people will look down at you. Mas pupurihin nila 'yung mga taong may natural talent. Ako personally, I believe na all of us may talent. We just need to enhance or wag mahiya. Nagtatago ang ating talent deep within us. Kailangan lang nating ilabas. 

And minsan may mga taong nagsasabi na "Wala akong talent eh." Please stop saying this. Kasi we all have gifts. We all have talents. We just need na ilabas 'yon. 

I really don't like thinking about words dati, just reading lang. But now I love making poems. And I am slowly improving my writing skills. Kasi for me, imposible na wala kang gift. Super imposible no'n. Your gift may not be in arts or music, malay mo nasa ibang fields pala 'di'ba? And always remember that you're worth it. Listen to "'Di ka sayang" by Ben&Ben. (Hehe promote yarn?) The lyrics are super good like legit. 

Always remember that you're worth it. Hindi mo na kailangan iprove sa ibang tao 'yon. And don't give up on finding yourself kung anong talent nga ba ang meron ka.

"The miracle is not some magic that you've got, the miracle is you."
