Not every effort needs an audience

Sometimes the work happens quietly, in the parts people don’t see, understand, or clap for.

And maybe that’s where you learn if you’re doing it for validation,

or because it still means something to you.

I’ve read somewhere that no one really claps for the quiet parts.

Most people won’t notice the effort while it’s happening.

And I think that can quietly become a limiting factor for growth when we start depending too much on people’s validation.

Whenever I doubt myself, especially when I’m creating or wanting to express myself more, I always end up asking myself two questions:

Am I stepping on other people by doing this?

And does this still mean something to me?

If the answer is no, and yes, then maybe that’s enough of a push to create anyway.

Even if they don’t know the weight we carry.

The hard part about uncertainty is that it feels heavier when we don’t know how things will end.

Sometimes it’s not even the problem itself, but the waiting, the guessing, and the carrying of something you can’t fully solve yet.

I wouldn’t say the Filipino expression “bahala na” is solely about giving up. Sometimes, it can be an act of courage, especially when you’ve already done what you could, but life still hasn’t given you a clear answer.

So you keep moving forward.
Some days, that’s just how you make it through.

Sometimes saying “bahala na” isn’t you giving up.

It can sound like surrender, but I think there’s also a kind of determination in it.

Like you already did what you could, and even if you don’t know how things will turn out, you still choose to move.

I read that bahala has also been linked to the Sanskrit “bhāra,” meaning burden, weight, or responsibility.

Which makes sense to me.

Because a lot of the weight we carry isn’t always something we can fix right away. Sometimes it’s uncertainty.

A quiet surrender,
but also a decision to continue.

Do you sometimes feel like you still need to have value, even in moments where there’s nothing visible to prove it?

It almost feels like you’re stuck in a loop:

You do more so you can feel enough
➡️ you slow down
➡️ your mind asks for proof again
➡️ so you do more again

We put so much of our worth on what we can do and what we can offer, that resting can start to feel uncomfortable.

Like you’re falling behind.
Like you’re becoming less valuable.

But I think part of self-worth is learning how to sit with the unfinished version of yourself.

The version that’s still trying.
The version that’s growing quietly.
The version that can still find value in themselves, even without anything to show for it.

One of the moments that made me think about this was when I was living in a small microstudio in Makati.

My mom could’ve easily stayed at our home in Quezon City where it was more comfortable, had more space, and honestly just made more sense. But during her stay, she chose to stay with me for a couple of days.

She wanted to see my routine.

How I start my mornings before work.
The places I usually eat at.
Even the small ordinary parts of my day.

Sometimes when we’d order food, she would get the same thing as me and say:
“Mag-ina talaga tayo, parehas tayo ng gusto.”
(“We really are mother and child, we like the same things.”)

Looking back, I realized those moments weren’t really about the food or the place itself.

It was her way of trying to understand my world.
To feel close to the life I was living every day.

And I think there’s something really precious about that kind of love.

Happy Mother’s Day. 🤍
