LOG TITLE: EPIPHANY

Hi, this is Kira—which used to be Kei.

I waited for the day where I could finally have the courage to express this. And I guess that day is today.

As you can see, I changed my name in hopes of opening a new chapter, and to serve as the symbolism of my desire to become a better person.

Kei was... all over the place. She was impulsive. She made lots of mistakes. She had toxic views. She made colorism statements. She was very immature.

I admit, around 2016-2017, I used to think the whole world is a book where I am the main character. I used to think that I was better than everyone else.

Which is obviously a misconception.

And I am very... ashamed of it.

But I’m also grateful that I was able to realize I need to get off my high horse.

Although I do still make mistakes today, for I am only human, I am now trying my best to be more mindful when it comes to the things that I do and say.

Now that I have these hands to hold as we walk through the flowery path, it made me realize that I am not the only main character in this book of life.

We are eight.

And I am definitely not better than everyone else but I have to be a better person for them and for myself.
