At twenty-three, Angelica Dela Cruz is learning that adulthood isn't loud... it's quietly exhausting.
She works nights as a virtual assistant for a business halfway across the world, while days blur into bills, family expectations, and responsibilities she never volunteered for but somehow inherited.
At home, she lives with a brother who doesn't work, a mother who always chooses him, and the unspoken understanding that she must be the strong one. Her father works endlessly to pay their debts, and Angelica learns early that love often comes with quiet sacrifices.
She finds comfort in books, movies, sitcoms, and an orange, rude, chubby cat who only shows affection when it's convenient. She craves simple things... fried noodles, rest, understanding, while secretly longing for a life that feels like her own.
This is not a story about having it all figured out.
It's about surviving your twenties when you're tired, uncertain, and still trying.
From small cravings to bigger life questions, this is a journal of becoming slowly, painfully, honestly.
