one of the ugliest truths about life is that every choice kills another version of your life.
get married, and you’ll eventually miss the freedom you had alone. stay single, and there will be nights when you wonder what it would’ve been like to build a life with someone. have children, and you’ll miss parts of the life you had before them. don’t have children, and you may spend years wondering about the family you never created.
there is no perfect path and there is no decision that leaves you with everything.
the life you didn’t choose will always look better from a distance because you never had to pay its price.
stop searching for a choice you won’t regret , it doesn’t exist. choose your life, accept what it costs, and live with the consequences. buena suerte 👍
be scared and do it anyway. be underqualified and get in the room anyway. be unsure and show up anyway. comfort is the enemy of growth. get uncomfortable.

Alex Eala had kind words for Caty McNally after beating her in Toronto
“I’m okay. I think I survived that one. It was so tough. I wanna thank Caty for a great match and for being a great sport. It’s one of those matches that could’ve gone either way. It was down to details and a little bit of luck. Give her her flowers guys. It was a great match.” ❤️

Alex Eala after beating Caty McNally in Toronto
“Someone in the crowd said they wanted to be Filipino for tonight. That stuck with me. I went to a Bad Bunny concert. I felt Puerto Rican for that night 😂. So for the Filipino community to have that effect on other people.. the Canadians have been so hospitable to me. I really hope the Canadians also get that feeling of hospitality from the Filipinos.” 🇵🇭❤️
