Happy to share an evocation meant for my future self, a monologue written during the first lockdown in Malaysia “Secret Letters to Pablo” in ASEAN Youth Forum online publication, Yuwana Zine Volume 4 ✨
Looking back, if the pandemic hadn’t happened, I might not be where I am now, mentally and emotionally speaking. I wouldn’t know how to love myself first. The clarity I never regret not learning earlier in life because what I went through was something I needed to pass. I know everyone in the world has gone thru some kind of major shift in their lives since the pandemic hit, be it good or bad, we just have to keep looking forward and trust His timing. With that said, I hope we are more resilient than ever to go through this lockdown. Stay sane and don’t forget to check in on your loved ones.
The 200-paged zine is now available for download on the Asean Youth Forum’s website! Catch me on page 142 alongside 80 other artists across Southeast Asia ❤️
