1. Last night I had a very good conversation with a very good friend about seeing the enemy for the enemy. See, to remain positive, often deny things in varying degrees. We ignore, sugarcoat, or remain headstrong...
2. (So sorry for those who would understand this more in Tagalog but as you know it will come out weirder. If you really could use clarification I’ll try) Then this morning as I woke up on one of my posts on IG about my family the words ‘Gago ka’ were left as a comment...
3. I immediately erased the comment as I usually do. Words hit me in ways that I do not always like. I’m sensitive that way I guess. So I decided ok, maybe it is time to try and understand the dynamics of hate, or of the hater. Thus I put out the tweet about haters...
4. ...that I did. Because here, seeing what has happened to the world because of the virus THE WORLD HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED. In fact, to me, our way of life has burned down in more ways than one. But one thing that has always always troubled me is the presence of the hater...
5. ...it is something I have never accepted. Yes there are many things to hate in this world - systems of oppression, lies sold to us that we may never unravel, and most recently, a virus that still threatens us. BUT. This is the perfect opportunity for renaissance...

8. It is so not the time. The world needs your love. The world needs your light. And in this time that we cannot even hold each other, make your words your hands. Let them please reach out to caress or embrace. Let me be the first to apologize for my tweet. I wanted to see...
9. ...how far I can go down the rabbit hole of understanding hate. I can’t go very far. And I thank 2 people for reminding me that. You know who you are. But please, I don’t know if these words will go anywhere. But if they reach one person then good. Hate it not the way...
10. It never was and it never will be and it is especially not needed now. The world, it’s people, the strangers you interact with on social media, there is NO ONE who couldn’t use a lift right. Let’s do our part. Deleting my tweet now, it only seeks to prove my greatest fear...
11. ...which is that it is too late. But it is not. Not until the last of us are gone. We don’t know how lucky we are to be alive, will it take a plague much worse than COVID19 to show us that. I sincerely hope not

12. ...the night at its darkest in our lives, but don’t we all want to go home? Cliche as it is, listen to your heart. It only sings when it’s home. Your world is burning, come home...and figure out from there how to douse the flames https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏼" title="Folded hands (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (medium light skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Sparkling heart" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkling heart"> A good evening to you! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Hugging face" aria-label="Emoji: Hugging face">
