True love requires no wealth. An old food house, a wooden table, and cheap food are enough when love, comfort, and understanding are present. On my worst days, when I felt everything was against me... When all my hard work seemed to mean nothing, and disappointment and failure- the two things I feared most, consumed me, he would show up with a warm smile... "Tara, kain tayo pansit?" malambing na aya niya sa akin. And that simple invitation was his way of telling me he was there, to listen, to comfort. That in the end, he remained the same proud person beside me, with our comfort food, even when everyone else turned their backs to me. 04.19.2025 - 06.16.2025
