I grew up well-sheltered but
that doesn’t mean that I
grew up into a naïve person who doesn’t know that the world can be
full of cruelty and ugly realities.
It’s just that I see to it that I get to choose to walk on the sunny
side, wear my
brightest neon colors
on days when the skies
get so gloomy, or dance
in the outpouring of rain.
Varying experiences may have humbled
me down, but there are just days when I am reminded that humility is not just realizing
your weaknesses but
also remembering that there
is a part of you that is just
aWESome (Hahaha! This
part is supposed to be
a private joke which requires a separate lengthy write-up.)!
Just for today,
my nanay sent me
a suuupeeer cheesy
mother-to-daughter text
message which was supposed to send
me cringing if I were
a rangy 16-year
old, but had made the 24-year old version
of me at the moment all warmed up inside.
"Good luck sa oration! Si ma'am aura ang trainor, champion na kamo kay ang trainor best declaimer and orator!"Thanks, nanay! I may not anymore need that kind of encouragement, and not to mention flattery, but it is deeply appreciated. I may not believe everything that you say and you may be more overly dramatic than I am on most days, but this is one of those days when I can almost believe that good things are always bound to happen.
