Scared would be an understatement. With only hopes, dreams, determination, and a 4,000 pesos pocket money, I’ve finally moved to a different city 246.6 miles away from home.

Truth be told, there are a lot of what-ifs in my mind right now. Maybe that’s just how it is. I don’t know what this city holds for me, but I know for sure that it will shape me into a stronger, better version of myself.

Currently, I’m sipping my first white mocha latte here, writing this entry. Here’s to more cafe mornings, long walks, matcha hopping, and navigating life in these new streets.

To Cebu City, may you be a good dream.
