When it comes to dreaming of my future, I always think of how my family would be integrated. There were many dreams I had put aside due to the distance it would put between my family and I. I just never have left home. Now, with my newfound love for ceramics, I realize that I eventually will have to leave home. The thought of it scares me as I think of how it would be when that opportunity presents itself, how would my family feel?

Ako Muna meaning Me First in English, is a confrontational piece to me as I push to allow myself to understand that it’s okay to pursue my dreams, even if it means to leave my family for a bit, my love for them will always prevail no matter how far I go.
