The Republic of Indonesia — "As a girl, being beautiful is not enough. Even though each and everyone of us have our own kind of beauty, I honestly think being simply "beautiful" wont be enough. We gotta have brains and intelligence, because in this day and age, that's the only thing that can empower us. We have to be smart so people wont objectify and take advantage of us girls. But at the end of the day, still don't ever forget to be kind to those you meet because it won't even matter if we're not nice to the people around us." Olympus OM-10/Kodak Colorplus 200

The Republic of Indonesia — "There are numbers of great women as CEOs, politicians, athletes, professionals, surgeons, notable scholars, movie directors, you name it. The professions that maybe once people thought ‘never in a million years a woman could ever be able to do that’ but here we are. We are encouraged to chase great shiny dreams, a life of our own, to be the strongest, independent, and imposed the idea of a modern woman, a lady boss, because that’s what a new woman is. The world is cheering for us to be unbreakable, a free soul. However, when a girl in the room says she prefers to be a stay at home mother, a loving wife to her husband, or when she says she doesn’t wanna go for that master's’ degree, the jeering stares from everyone else would follow, as if she has violated the rule of feminism. But hey, isn’t it all about choices? Choices are there for you to choose one that is best for you, choose what will make you live in joy. That’s what women of the world were, and still are, fighting for. For women to have choices. It is okay if you’re not feeling like jumping on the wagon of this image of ‘a brand new woman’, it doesn’t make you less of one. Because you know what does it actually take for one to be a woman? To have courage and compassion." Olympus MJU Zoom 140/Agfa Vista 200
The Republic of Indonesia — "Don’t be afraid to take chances and challenge yourself with new experiences. Who knows maybe you’ll find a gem in a place you have never thought you’d go to. You have no idea what’s ahead of you so make sure you create a path for you to walk through to reach your destination and goals. Start your day by listing out things you want to do on the day, and be productive. Make the best out of your time, know your limits and remember that you deserve a good break at the end of each day And remember that no matter how rough your week/day is and when you keep on questioning yourself “why am I even doing this?!” Remind yourself of your motivation and keep on going as the rainbow will eventually come after the storm."

The Italian Republic — "'Do not ask questions, live!’ But I always do ask a lot of questions, mostly when something good happens. Like as if I don't deserve these good things. Like I don't deserve to be happy. As if my happiness needed an explanation. Questions I don't have an answer for. But maybe this is the secret to happiness: stop asking questions and live your life. Because remember... it's always summer!" Olympus MJU Zoom 140/Kodak Ultramax 400
The Kingdom of Thailand — "The way you are, the way you exist, makes the world a beautiful place. So remember to love yourself and love others." Olympus MJU Zoom 140/Kodak Ultramax 400
The Republic of India — "We are beautiful and strong each in our own ways. We fight, we rebel and we prove ourselves time and time again! But doesn’t it all go to waste if we can’t express kindness to one another? As important as it is to push yourself forward, be sure to support those around you. Accept and appreciate them for who they are and value them for the colours they bring to your life. Cherish each person and you’ll see how our growth will multiply. Stop the spite and don’t smile a smile that lies. This world will become a world for girls only if we hold up our girlfriends, not push them down." Olympus MJU Zoom 140/Kodak Ultramax 400
