It's not easy coming to terms with ourselves if we think there's a lot we should make up for.
Ida always felt like she was rushing after something. That something? Acceptance. Self-fulfillment. Love.
However, the road to what she hopes to achieve wasn't as easy as she thought it would be. It's all on her, yet somehow she can't keep it all together.
Ida's seemingly uptight external facade was broken down by Tey, who managed to do it within a short span of time.
Hindi niya alam bakit. Hindi niya rin alam paano.
This is a tale of a woman's journey towards self-acceptance and love.

Nasanay na ako na tanging sarili ko lang ang masasandalan. She hugged me, I wanted to react violently but her hugs felt so warm around my body. I feel safe and light. This was an unexpected moment in my life. To meet her. Start: May 2024 End: January 2025Complete
