Whenever someone asks me, “How are you?” I answer, “Mas mabuti kaysa sa dati.”
It may sound simple, but for me it means progress. Even if yesterday was heavy, today feels lighter. Even if life is not perfect, I am still moving forward.
People often pause when they hear it. Some smile, some ask why, and suddenly it is no longer small talk. It becomes connection.
That phrase reminds me to honor the small wins, the quiet growth, the resilience that keeps me going. It is not about pretending everything is fine. It is about choosing to see the light, even if it is just a flicker.
Because at the end of the day, what matters most is that I am a little better than I was yesterday.
