Wabi-Sabi (侘寂) - Japanese Art.
Wabi (wah-beeh) - simplicity and unique imperfections
Sabi (suh-beeh)’ - essence of an object and the effect of time.
Nonetheless, it's finding beauty amidst the imperfections of life. Nothing lasts; nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.
Far from what the reality offers in her sight, Ada, a middle child yet acts as the family's eldest daughter of an Asian household, think that everything has its own meaning, and everything has its own reason why it happened. For a twenty-two-year-old woman who assumed the position of a breadwinner, she thought that the world is unfair yet she doesn't have any reason to complain. For her, sino ba siya para magreklamo sa buhay niyang isang kahig; isang tuka kung ang iba nga ay halos wala nang makain sa pang araw araw na buhay. Sino ba siya para magreklamo tungkol sa bigat na dala dala niya upang buhayin ang kaniyang pamilya kung ang iba nga ay hinihiling na magkaroon ng kompletong pamilya? Pagod na pagod na siya pero wala siyang karapatang mapagod dahil may mga umaasa sa kaniya. She was raised by herself to be independent as she condemned to the reality that, 'blood is thicker than water' ...
Pero may hangganan ang lahat. Pagod na siya maging independent. Pagod na siyang lumaban sa buhay. Pagod na siyang akuin ang responsibilidad na hindi naman dapat niya pasan. No children at a young age should carry the burdens of being a child of two unstable individuals... but it is more better than seeing your younger siblings inherit the generational trauma. Okay nang isa lang. Okay nang isa lang at siya lang ang umako n'on.
Isa lang talaga ang pangarap niya sa buhay...
... ang makahanap ng kalinga...
... ng bagay na matatawag niyang tahanan na kung saan siya ay malayang tatahan.
Paano kung ang dumating ay isa ring taong naghahangad ng tahanan?
Will they end up being each other's home or...
... will it end up destroying them both?

PPS. I don't usually proofread as I directly publish after I write up, but, I am well aware that I am not that good in Filipino words such as the difference of 'nang' and 'ng', and any other words you'll encounter along the way. I still find it hard to write especially the tenses but rest assured that I'm putting a lot of effort for growth everyday with this forte. However, if you found grammatical errors, feel free to comment on the part for me fix it. lt would be highly appreciated if it is in courteous way. Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
