sometimes, you just have to be really strong. it's hard, but it's challenging. don't you ever experience telling yourself "kaya ko 'to....kaya yan"? and only in the end will you realize if it was all worth it. if it was, good for you. if it wasn't, at least you can proudly say "nakaya ko yun. beh."
