Selene,


Left the life I dream of having.




For the past seven years, after working so hard, I found myself going back to where I once thought halting me to my dreams.




Hindi ko pala kaya.




No, kaya ko. Kaya pa.




In the midst of it all, of trying to fit in everyday, waking up early, circling all around the building everyday, sleeping on my desk every night, for the past seven years.




Now then, I realized, this is not for me.




For the past seven years, I thought I had the best version of myself. High heels, corporate blazer, sleek trouser, CLN hand bag, and a cup of coffee on my other hand.




Oh, that was not my very best version.




City lights to long hills. I drove my car to a 4 hour drive to Makati to Batangas.




Sumakay ako sa bangka para makadating sa bahay. I flinched when I heard the loud engines of the boat. We cross the beautiful hills around this lake. My smooth mid lenght hair was dancing because of the wind.




Fresh air.




The water's clear and the sky, blue. All I could do is to look forward and enjoy the scenery I am passing through.




No looking back.
