Saying goodbye has been hard. I saw #SB19 3 times - at 2 concerts & WishBus. My time with @SB19Official on their WYAT (Where You At) tour has been the experience of a lifetime and most importantly, it was all an experience I thought I'd never have. I can relate++ #WYATTour

to @imszmc's imposter syndrome. I have friends on twt & was always welcomed warmly, but never felt like I belonged. I'm different: not Filipino. Not a reactor. Just me. It was all in my head, but I felt unseen & invisible & just wanted to be like other A'tin.

I wanted to fit in - to hide my otherness. When I saw @SB19Official at WishBus, the walls between me and them came crashing down. They were here. They were real. Even if their smiles weren't meant for me, that was okay. I had enough. They gave me more. #SB19 gave me their love++

& their attention & all I had to do was give them mine. @stellajero_ remembered me from WishBus. With each interaction we shared, he told me the message I needed to hear.

I am seen. I am valued. I am theirs. I am A'tin.

There are no thanks big enough for++ @SB19Official #SB19

my 2 biases. @JoshCullen_s: you gave me your genuine smile when you saw my banner & I met my best friend thanks to you. @stellajero_: you saw me. You took my hand & I felt your sincerity. Between the 2 of you, I have strength & sunshine - what more can I ask?

In SFO, Tey said "We will always be there for you." It is a love that goes both ways & it only grows. Our loved are bigger the more we love, so until the end, I will always be an A'tin.

Thank you for saving me. Until next time - Mahal ko kayo, Mahalima.
