We're celebrating Britney this month by sharing something about her, every day, that makes us grateful. 🙏🏼

Day 1 of Thankful for Britney: Her smile

Unearthed

The other day, I stumbled upon an old YouTube account that I had completely forgotten about, featuring videos from 16 years ago. Unedited clips, shaky, and blurry beyond recognition. I remember using an old flip pink Sony Ericsson phone that my grandmother gave me, but I don't recall most of the moments I had captured.

Watching those videos felt out-of-this-world nostalgic and cringy, but I was smiling ear to ear. I was so young. We were so young, then. My cousins were still babies, my sister was so petite, I was either in Baguio with my aunt, in the pool with my mother at the rest house, or in the moshpit at the mall watching my fave band, and some people I now call strangers were still in my life. It's crazy how life happened 16 years later.

It made me realize how important it is to write and take tons of pics and clips because our future selves will thank us for them. Not for the society's "likes", but for the joy in the form of reminiscing.

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”

— Maya Angelou

the intimacy of sleeping together, but not in a sexual way. the intimacy of feeling the warmth of their body in a cool room. their hands hugging you tightly. the intimacy of synchronized breathing. sleepy half-kisses. feeling safe. feeling warm. waking up and realizing how much you love them. how precious this is. finding the happiness on the tip of your fingers, brushing their hair. closing your eyes again. pulling closer. falling asleep.
