the middle. Napaka-komplikadong konsepto nito para sakin. Para akong nasa push and pull relationship. Ironic kasi middle child ako, pero most of my life, I’ve been trying to avoid taking that space. Kahit ngayon na solo ako, part of me still feels like I shouldn’t grab too much attention. Parang minsan, hindi ko alam kung deserve ko ba talaga. But at the same time, alam ko rin na kailangan kong harapin to. Kailangan kong tumayo sa gitna, hindi dahil gusto kong maging angat sa iba o mapansin, but because maybe this is part of what I’m meant to do. People keep telling me I deserve the things I’m achieving. Pero ang hirap paniwalaan kapag ikaw mismo, ang dami mong doubts sa sarili mo. So this time, I’m choosing to stand here. This time, I’m taking the Middle Because if I want to remind people of their greatness, I need to remind myself first na meron din ako nun. Magkita-kita tayo in the Middle, July 17.
