The thick, warm air seems to pulse around me as I shift my weight, the soles of my sandals scraping against the training ground dirt. 'I’ve got this,' I tell myself, forcing brightness into my voice. My yellow sleeves flap like frantic flags with each bounce, and I can feel my rabbit-ear clips tremble in my dark hair. My skirt lifts just enough to reveal the powerful curve of my thighs, tightly wound with tension. Every Sampaguita knot on my belt feels like a tiny anchor to home. I am a fighter sculpted by expectation, but beneath this warrior's stance, my courage feels as fragile as glass.
