"Whether we want it or not, in this labyrinth of life, we do not have all the freedom that we want." Kumibot ang labi niya at tumingin din sa mabituwin na kalangitan. "So it's true that when you look at the starry sky, thoughts will start to occupy your mind. You start to wonder and realize, to wander and think of what ifs and maybes." Natawa siya nang mahina. "That's a good thing."

Sanaol nakakangiti nang ganyang kaganda, sana wag ka nang magmatured pa Inah para hindi mo maranasan ang mga naranasan ko. You will think too much once you matured, you will think about the possibilities, you will think about what ifs, you will think about the people around you, madaming magbabago, unti-unti kang magbabago. Mas bibigat ang mga nakasalalay sayo, you will have more obligations and you need to be more responsible.

We might not get the recognition that we all deserve but we shouldn’t let that convince us to put less effort into our pursuits. We shouldn’t care too much about what other people think of us. Ito din ang naging problema ko. Palagi kong iniisip kung ano ang sasabihin ng ibang tao, palagi kong iniisip kung ano ang sasabihan nila sa amin at kung ano ang tingin nila sa amin. Dapat pala hindi ganoon. Dapat pala hindi palaging sila ang iniisip, isipin mo kung paano ka babangon at kung paano ka dapat mabuhay sa mundo.

Pagdadahilan ko. Tama naman. Mas mabuti na isipin natin kung anong mangyayari sa atin pagdating sa unahan kaysa sa puro ngayon ang iniisip natin. Thinking for our future is not a sin, so why wouldn't we think of those? Kailan pa ba tayo mag-iisip? No'ng malalaman at halata na kung anong mangyayari sa atin sa piniling daan?

You don't own it. You don't finish it. You just keep finding your way through it—together—until even the darkest nights start making sense because someone is there beside you, pointing at the same stars, saying: "Look. We're still here."

Feel the gentle encouragement of Confucius' words: "It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop." These truths invite you to start your own journey of discovery, patience, and resilience. No matter how slow your steps seem, each one brings you closer to understanding what truly matters.

Natuwa ka pa talaga after thinking na may nabaril kagabi tapos may nangyari sa inyo? Think, Rosa, think!

Nakatitig lang ako sa mahabang mesa, sa mga bakanteng upuan, habang pakiramdam ko unti-unting sasabog ang utak ko. Too many thoughts. Too many what-ifs. Ayaw ko ng ganito.
