2022

Did we skipped to the good part, where the world is slowly going back to normalizing its flow, in a manner that is both different and familiar. In this part of the world, our country held the national elections and personally, I have been hopeful for a future that we all can win. I am still at a loss to classify the events that followed being either tragic or unfortunate or a blessing. There are no exact words to describe the emotions that I have experienced as I go through stages of grief, defeat, and anger. I cannot even openly express into writing the jumble of words crashing at the top of my head, wanting to take turns in being seen and heard. Today, unofficially yet inevitably, my fellow countrymen elected a dictator’s son. The same dictator that ruled and plundered our country 30 years ago, the same person that was ousted from our country.

I guess we’re not there yet.
