It is so easy to forget what a person has gone through to get to where she is now. Many times, people associate youth with inexperience. That’s the world for you.

I pray that Filipinos will learn to take things into context. It pains me to think that we were once a highly progressive nation. Our obvious disregard for the past gets us into trouble and waywardness. Our overzealous reactions to criticism reveal our insecurities. I wish I were more diplomatic myself.

Please stop hiding behind ignorant optimism. It is a state where a person thinks everything will be okay without intentionally going through heart-wrenching change. Learn to scope out where you are now. Retrace your steps. Use this knowledge to plan for tomorrow.

Tricia, you’ve changed so much since you picked up your first camera. It seems everything was for a better today.
