I’m noticing a common theme in the Philippines where scarcity or a fear of losing something (or someone) is deeply ingrained in our culture.

We hoard and we control. We think we’re running out of time and money — all the time. It affects how we live and the people around us. We react uncharacteristically and illogically.

I want to think about this more and write about it later on the blog đź’­

New York has been cool and is providing a lot of lessons. I feel like anything is possible in this city as long as you put your heart and soul into what you want to do. I hope to spend more time here v v soon.

Writing has always been an outlet for me, whether it’s journaling or blogging. I started writing more regularly in a journal at the beginning of the pandemic as encouraged by my therapist. It unlocked so many things for me, unearthing details of my life I wasn’t aware of, but I also creating a reality for myself that I always wanted.

A combination of both led me to where I am today. I feel free in many different ways: mentally free from the baggage in my mind and now I’m living how I’ve always wanted to. I’m a living, breathing creative who isn’t subject to the world’s expectations of me.

Much love,
DT

Some days I’m severely overwhelmed to the point where I feel disconnected from myself. Today is one of those days. I don’t see it as misfortune but more of a sign, a redirection to where I need to be.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about life as a creative – it’s freeing, free-flowing...just being. It’s only been recently where I rebuilt a foundation that feels sturdy. It holds my purpose and values and is a home I can always go to when the world becomes overwhelming. I turn to art – mostly painting and photography as these are the most accessible to me.

Saw and last night, and it took me back almost 20 years! It reminded me of my angsty, teenage self but belting out every word to their songs made me feel so alive and happy despite singing about death and numbing feelings. I channeled a lot of emotion through writing and listening to music over the years. I’m still writing today and now exploring painting as a form of expression.

I want to change the narrative.

The more time I spend creating, the more I want to share with the world, especially in my community, that we're allowed to live the way we want to. That it's possible. That no idea or dream is too grand and that we're all capable of achieving what we want in life.

It all comes from a place of love – of self. Service of self, which leads to service to others. This can be found in anything, not just in the medical profession that I was exposed to for most of my life, but also in art. I'm slowly beginning to acknowledge and receive how I'm impacting people through my art, whether it's through painting or photography / videography. To know that it resonates with people – I wasn't sure how to react in the beginning, but thank you to those who have shown appreciation. It's a reminder that I do have a purpose in this world because I didn't feel that way for the longest time. I faked it while I was on the path to grad school as a medical professional.

In the background, I continued to dabble in things that give me a certain high, such as photography, interior design, and cars. I still have my T2i from 2010, a few furniture pieces I curated for my first apartment in 2008, and memories of my first Formula One race in 2013. Attending Ultra Music Festival for five years in a row since 2009 was respite from academia. I guess I've always had these hints of who I was but was too afraid to express it fully.
