LOCATION: FORT BONIFACIO, PHILIPPINES

Sometimes little 20-year old me feels more like a 30-year old. Its true – behind this baby face is a self-proclaimed “lola”. Since living by myself in a foreign country straight out of high school, being completely self-sufficient financially ever since boarding the plane – its like I skipped the “be reckless, young and free, responsibility free” stage and went straight to the career-orientated, serious mindset. Hence the creation of the 20-year old persona that would rather stay home, cooking, reading, studying and making something (art, blog, photography, music etc) – rather than hitting up the clubs.

And I honestly don’t think I’m an anomaly. I think theres more and more young people taking control of their life – early. I think its a movement to be embraced. After all – young people these days have the opportunities today that generations in the past never had. And to me, theres nothing more admirable than someone who is passionate about something and is willing to work for it.With that being said, now and then I need to catch myself: “Hey, stop being so serious. Lighten up and smile beautiful“. So, I’m embracing my sweetness today by pairing a comfy multi-pastel cropper sweater with a bubblegum skirt. Because after all, we’re only 20 once.
