“It’s very hard. But then hindi ka naman nabubuhay para sa kanila. Mayroon kang goals para sa sarili mo at mga misyon mo sa buhay. Kung titingnan mo sila, wala ka talagang mararating. Madi-discourage ka."

Social media is so Photoshopped and not real. I’m misunderstood. Makilala mo lang talaga ako through different lens. Kulang pa nga ’yon kasi hindi ko pa talaga mapakilala nang todo ’yung sarili ko,” she said.
