Within Ecstacy

"You'll laugh at your mistakes someday."

That was one of the most memorable quotes Ysei has ever heard. She had proven it to be true through her own experiences.

She fondly remembers her series of failed recitations, her terrible outfit ideas that she thought were cute, her unsteady moments at school, some catfights, and even her embarrassing first kiss with her boyfriend.

Ysavrielle Jade Alvarez used to be that grade-conscious student who was always striving for the top. Isaiah Genesis Andrada, a classmate, presented challenges to her. She never imagined herself falling in love with him in any way.

But she realized that those memories happened for a reason, for better or for worse. And maybe by then, she'll realize how much time she's wasted being overly emotional.

There was more to life than sobbing, indeed.
