Mahina siyang tumawa. “Walang matinong memories sa buhay ko, puro kalokohan at struggle rin.” “How do your parents interact with you in such a complicated situation?”

People often say that they better die when they face a struggle they couldn't seem to overcome, or a tragedy that seems too impossible to endure. Life won't give people the challenges that are bigger than their power to overcome it. We may have limited capabilities, but we have unlimited determination. Perhaps, in my own point of view, when people think of giving up, that is because they lack of purpose.

Natututo akong kilalanin ang sarili ko at ang mundo sa paligid. Sa kabila ng lahat, alam ko: ang tunay na struggle ay hindi lamang sa trabaho. Ang tunay na pakikibaka ay sa puso—sa takot, sa sugat, at sa pangarap na muling mahalin nang tahimik, ngunit totoo.

Lalo na, nang itinuloy nito ang sinabi niya, na ngayon gets ko na. "Na sa dami ng tao, He gave us few people to treasure. These people help us to keep striving, people who give us the will to see tomorrow. You know what?" Lingon niya sa akin habang nakangiti, pero ramdam ko ang sakit at saya sa bawat salita niya. "Sometimes, it feels like we only live to solve problems, but guess what, every time we struggle, we still have people to love, and that's a privilege."

We suffer from problems, we fight for it. Life is a constant war. Kung magpapakamatay ka dahil pagod na pagod ka na, talo ka. Lahat naman ng tao nagdurusa. We have different level of sensitivity and different sensitivity means different kinds of problems. Kaya hindi ka excuse lumaban.

At mas lalo pa itong lumalala dahil halos araw-araw nya itong nakikita. Kaya naman, palihim nyang iniyukom ang kanyang palad para muling ipaalala sa sariling tigilan na ang pagiging duwag at sa wakas ay, sumugal na para sa sarili. Ang buhay ay isang malaking sugal. It's either you win or lose. But it doesn't matter at all because in the end, what is essential is how you fight the demon that never wants you to grow. Once you conquer the demon, you won.

yumuko siya at pumikit ng mariin at ilang sandali pa humarap ulit siya sa camera. "Sa mga babaeng nandito ngayon, if you're in her situation, anong maramdaman niyo? masasaktan rin kayo, maybe mawalan kayo ng pag-asang mabuhay, nagpapasalamat pa rin ako dahil, she never stops even the world is cruel with her. Even us, boys if we think deeply, we can feel her struggle." Huminto ulit siya at nagsalita ulit. "I just hope after this, you reflect how Lyra struggles because of what happened, and after you reflect everything please think if you can still continue to say those words to the person who struggle deeply. She's a victim here." Huling sinabi niya bago tumayo at umalis na sa kwartong iyun.
