Bakit kaya hindi na lang gumawa ng perpektong tao ang Diyos? Bakit kailangan may mga taong halos sambahin at may mga taong halos pandirian? Bakit hindi pantay at patas ang mundo para sa lahat? Those are the questions that haunt me late at night. I belong to those who don't receive love because I do not meet people's standards. I belong to those who lack privilege because I am not considered beautiful. I am not like them. I am not like those other pretty women. I am not what he wants me to be. But then came this man, my fake boyfriend, who made me realize that I am enough just as I am. He showed me that there's beauty in embracing who you are. That there's relief in believing in yourself, even when others don't. That you can sleep peacefully when you stop worrying about others' opinions. That man is Rafael Magnius Gonzalvez, a dentistry student, who told me that among all his achievements and trophies he carried, I am the most valuable and treasured one. He treats me like I am the most loved person in the world, even after countless heartbreaks. He's a living proof that love will find me, no matter who I am.
