Bell Salazar had everything planned - or at least, her father did. Her life was perfect, elegant, rich, and already decided before she could even choose for herself.
But what happens when the life everyone wants for you isn't the one you want at all?
She didn't plan to leave. She only wanted to take a break - to breathe, to think, to feel alive. But one night, when the city became too loud to bear, she packed her things and drove away with an old car and a map she barely understood.
Because what do you do when comfort starts to feel like a cage, and freedom means losing everything you know?
But I guess, it's never too late to search for something that finally feels right.

The Unsent Letter
Sometimes, life redirects us from things that are not meant for us, we always tend to jive to the flow of wherever life leads us but we know that that's the way it is, but we can't help but ask; WHY? Bakit? Bakit yung mga bagay na gusto natin, na alam nating magpapasaya sa'tin, yung mga bagay na kukumpleto sa'tin ay yung mga bagay pang hindi kayang ibigay ng buhay? Sathine knew how unpredictable life was, how emotions comes in waves, how feelings grow and somehow fade. She knew life had circumstances that was inevitable, but one thing she didn't know that there were things that went her way that she could not possibly let go of. So what would it be? To stay or not to stay? To let go or not to let go? Is it really a battle of fate? Or is it a battle of choices? c. All rights reserved.
