#Xia 🐶 : i learned how drive and determination is an essential trait when writing! i think that's what made us continuously linger here. tipong kahit umalis saglit, babalik at babalik pa rin. moreover, hvs is a wonderful yet challenging writing opportunity—to the point na i have to rly set the mood sometimes before writing.

i guess, that's a big hint na rin about uvos! mabigat talaga siya isulat, with its theme reflecting real life tragedies and romance. it shows how the world is full of people living different lives in the society, but at the end of the day, walang mas lamang o talo, dahil lahat naman ay prone sa mga struggles.

as i wrote, i eventually learned to trust my pace and abilities :) this series is one of the reason why i want to sit here for a while, connect with my co-writers, and just write!

#Mera 🐱 : writing IAL made me realize that when you put on a mask for too long, eventually, the one you end up owing... is yourself.

that's why it's okay to let go. to feel. to validate your feelings. because in the end, it is yourself that would thank you. neither the audience nor the spotlight—because you don't owe the world a performance—just the truth.

#Mera 🐱 : when we were starting, we searched random words n'on and began collating them until we stumbled upon two words: resfeber & temenos.

resfeber is a Swedish word that means "the tangled feelings of fear and excitement before a journey begins" while temenos, an English word from Ancient Greek, means "a sacred circle where one can be oneself without fear." tenshi also translated the latter in spanish and it meant, "fear us."

somehow, with the words together, it symbolized how we had a mix of excitement and fear before this journey began, but because we became comfortable with each other, that fear is nothing against our circle.

#Mera 🐱 : it's here din! 🫶🏻
