Beauty is what’s left when all the dazzle has fallen off — It is the subtle smile after a tragedy, the catwalk after a catastrophe, the hairflip after misery. Beauty is basically a synonym for resilience.

I am a 25-year old creative writer from the Philippines. I moved to Canada when I was 18, studied Acting For Film and Television, and since then, I have been a lost wandering soul and loving every second of it.

I am obsessed with lemon-infused hot teas, maintaining the blue of my Instagram feed, and striving to be the voice of my generation in my own little ways. I genuinely enjoy looking at the stars at night to remind me of my cosmic smallness, and then staring at sunsets to remind me that endings can be beautiful.
