SPECTRUM OF BECOMING #6 . . ☁︎ . ☁︎ . . Isang sulyap. Isang katahimikan. Isang pakiramdam na hindi maipaliwanag. Sa mundong pumapabor sa ingay, nakahanap ng kanlungan si Liora Illia Guevara sa sarili niyang katahimikan. Nasanay siya rito, hindi dahil wala siyang gustong sabihin, kundi dahil mas ligtas doon. Malinaw sa kaniya ang mundong tahimik. Samantala, si Ezechielle Ynigo Villegas ay kabaligtaran niya. Kilala, hinahangaan, at matunog ang pangalan. Sanay siya sa atensyon at sa mga matang laging nakamasid. Ngunit sa gitna ng ingay, isang babaeng hindi humihingi ng atensyon ang napansin niya. Isang katahimikang hindi niya maalis sa isip. Sa pagitan ng mga salitang hindi nasabi, mga tinging iniiwasan, at mga damdaming pilit ikinukubli, unti-unting nagiging mas malinaw ang katahimikan sa pagitan nila. May mga salitang hindi kailangang isigaw. May mga damdaming mas totoo kapag hindi binibigkas. At sa loob ng katahimikan, nagsisimula ang paglalakbay patungo sa pagtuklas ng mga boses na may kulay tayum.

🍊 Spectrum of Becoming #2 Past bruises could haunt you into the limits of your limbic system--triggering memories, emotions, and survival responses. Solara Kalista Villorente has been living with her lingering marks; it aches quietly, weighing on buried thoughts that stays in the parts she doesn't talk about. She arrives in Manila carrying more than just her bags from the province; together with it is a heart that is too soft, too fragile for the noise and haste of the city. With that, she learned to survive by becoming invisible. In that way, no one could hurt her--just like the bruises hidden on her back.

Learning that they can be enough on their own, that change doesn't have to be loud; sometimes, it's as quiet and powerful as the sky changing colors.

Marigold Joy Russells had always lived her life quietly. May it be from the pages of her books, or to the petals of her flowers, and the rules her parents never let her forget. Since the loss of her older brother, her used to be loving home has now turned into a place of silence and strictness. Marigold had to learn how to make herself small to avoid being a burden. At least, that's what her parents make her feel. Yet, everything begins to change when the ever so bright Caspian Phillip Matthews from the STEM strand enters her quiet world. With his sunshine like smile and endless warmth, Caspian brought the light wherever he goes, making the dullest days a little bit lighter. To Marigold, he was the sun---warm, steady, and very impossible to ignore. But behind that smile is just a guy with a past that still visits him up to this day. Neither knows the weight the other carries, but together, they begin to learn that even after loss and pain, the softness of the world can still be found in the right person. And maybe through this connection, there's still joy left hidden beneath their canvas of yellow splashes. SPECTRUM OF BECOMING #3
