Point A to Point B: This is the In-Between


To whomever is reading this,

Hi there! I'm April. A lot of people get dazed with everything happening so quickly. I am definitely no exception. Unlike most people, however, I know exactly where I wanna be at the end of this whole thing. It's mostly just a matter of getting through this blob of life in the middle of the sandwich of where I came from and where I wanna be. This, whoever you are, is the in-between.

Thanks for thinking that this little outlet of mine is worth the time and effort of reading. One thing that I'd like to ask is that you do not judge me or whatever, just keep an open mind. This is an outlet and that's exactly what it will be; an outlet of my thoughts, my emotions, and my random banters. Okay? Awesome!


The Universe Reminding Me of My Vision

I came across this little girl in Katipunan yesterday. She’s definitely a lot different from the usual annoying kids that you see there, asking for change and cursing you if you didn’t give them anything.

No, this little girl didn’t ask me for anything. Barely covered in her tattered rags, she just sat in her chair, looked up, and smiled at me.

There was something about her cheerfulness that made me just want to help her in some way. We chatted a little about what she was doing there, where her parents were, and if she’d eaten already.

She doesn’t know where her mom is. Her dad is in prison for some sort of trouble. She didn’t mention where she lived. She doesn’t go to school.

I wanted to take care of her, but reality bites. I can barely take care of myself. So I just did the only thing that I could do at the moment. I bought her and her little brother dinner.

I wish I could do more for her. Such a nice little kid with a good disposition and outlook despite everything that’s happened to her family has all the potential in the world to become great.

Someday, there will come a time when I will be able to do more for the children like her that I meet. I want to make sure of that.
