This Has Merit

Murilia Paine Lucia, a 22-year-old straight-A student since primary school, is seen by everyone as perfect. She never lets anything stand in her way and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. To others, her world seems like a dream- a privilege, they say. But college shattered that illusion.

What they don't know is the depth of her struggles. Beneath the surface, she was crumbling, and because of that, she ran away.

In her time as a runaway, volunteering becomes her lifeline, opening up opportunities and allowing her to rediscover herself. She realizes that running away wasn't an act of giving up-
it was an act of survival, a chance to start over.

Overtime, she realizes that if running away means getting her life back. She would do it over again to get it back.

Because she believed that her life is something- that this has merit.
