In their own words, the artists of Ballet Manila share their thoughts and experiences on not merely surviving but flourishing in the very challenging world of dance. This series is a collection of personal anecdotes, as well as words of wisdom that can be heartwarming, funny or dramatic, but always inspiring regardless of what field one is pursuing.
Hindi permanent ang mga bagay na yan. Dadaan lang tayo diyan. Hindi tayo magste-stay doon. Maging stong lang sila kasi hindi naman forever na nandoon ka lang sa sitwasyon na yun. Eventually magiging better din ang lahat. Mababalik din sa normal. Just pray and then be strong na it will all fall back into place eventually. Maybe not now but eventually.
These things are not permanent. We’re just passing through it. We are not going to stay there. We just need to be strong because we won’t be in this situation forever. Eventually, everything will get better. Just pray and be strong that it will all fall back into place eventually. Maybe not now but eventually.
