Breathless dreams

How does it feel to live in a world you can only watch but never touch?To grow up with dreams you cannot speak, and a life that always feels just out of reach?

Ganito ang naging mundo ni Averielle Valencia. Lumaki siya sa katahimikan, kasama ang sakit at pangarap na hindi natupad. Laging limitado, laging malayo sa ibang bata, laging nakatingin sa labas ng bintana, sa mundong hindi niya puwedeng maranasan.
