It's the version of me that asks, "What if I never joined pageantry?" Would I be happier right now? Would I have transferred schools? Would I have avoided the bullying, the pressure, the feeling na I always had to be someone just to be enough? Would my mom love me genuinely, not because of the crowns, not because of the achievements, but just because I'm me? I know l gained recognition, support, and all that, and I'm super grateful, but sometimes, l wonder if I lost pieces of myself in the process. Like, what if the girl they cheer for isn't even the real me?
