Malayo na, pero Malayo pa 😌
I’ve been playing volleyball for almost half of my life, and I can truly say that it is my passion. I have poured so much of myself into this sport, including the time, effort, and discipline, and seeing how much I have improved over the years feels surreal. Every game, every training, and every challenge has shaped me into the player I am today. Pero hindi naman araw-araw madali. May mga times na nakakaramdam ako ng pagod, doubt, at pressure. Minsan gusto ko nang sumuko kasi parang kahit anong effort ko, kulang pa rin. There are days when I feel mentally drained and start to question if I’m still doing enough. Pero every time I step on the court, nawawala lahat ng bigat. Volleyball has always been my safe space. It reminds me of why I started and how much I love the game. Sometimes, I even surprise myself with how far I have come. It is amazing how I can still find the strength to keep pushing and to keep getting better, even when people tell me I am already good enough. Malayo na, pero malayo pa. I know the 10-year-old Kyra is very proud of what I have become. Volleyball is not just a sport to me. It is a part of who I am, and I will never stop striving to be the best version of myself.
