The Italian Republic — "Let yourself blow, find the connection between your Self and your Soul. Your Soul is your real guide, the captain of your mind when the storm comes. If you learn how to communicate with it, you'll find the way to love yourself and others without any fears. That's to say girls, never give up on You!" Olympus MJU Zoom 140/Kodak Ultramax 400

Japan 日本国 — “Don’t look back or be ashamed of yourself, but look forward and be brave. You will realize that now, all that experience made you stronger.” Olympus MJU Zoom 140/Kodak Ultramax 400
The Republic of Indonesia — “Equality didn’t ask you to fight like a man. We women are not of the reckless forest fire they are, we slowly engulf like a tsunami We can wreck havoc, but we cradle all in our care, fit and flow wherever we want calmly. We tuck sinking ships and treasures away from the burns of his reach, & our every step gleams in mystery We don’t succumb but we also don’t wail like ransacked banshees on and on about our misery We are women, we should not rip ourselves wide open - over shared for cheap like an air filled bag of potato chips in a party. Don’t blow your ancestors’ cover, let them dig, let them mine, but we will never be theirs. We are made of every gem & priceless chemical compositions of our own, unique genetics heired. A sacred temple that stands tall of indescribable colors only labeled as your name, ready to shelter all the hearts that would fall. And bid goodbye to those who have tried but will never shatter you, Fight like the woman you are till all is full of love instead of our ocean’s morose blue.” Olympus MJU Zoom 140/Kodak Ultramax 400
The Republic of Indonesia — "It’s normal when things go wrong at some point in your life. Don’t ever blame yourself for it. Some things are just meant to happen, so in the end, you’ll be crystal clear certain on what you want and what you don’t want. In this young age, it’s okay to be confused. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be now, don’t worry, you’ll figure it out eventually. Remember, it’s not your fault when you can’t seem to please people around you and it’s never your loss when someone decides to leave. Cause girl, they just missed a dollar to get themselves a dime. Don’t be afraid of mistakes, you’ll learn it’s one step closer to become a better you, the best version of yourself." Olympus OM-10/Kodak Portra 400
The Republic of Indonesia — "You need to be yourself, love yourself. Love someone for loving you instead of someone really cool that just makes your heart melt #selflove" Olympus OM-10/Kodak Portra 400
The Kingdom of Thailand — “Sometimes, things don’t happen the way we plan and want it to be. Sometimes they happen with no valid explanation. And sometimes our choices and decisions bring out the worst in us. But despite these things, never let yourself run out of positivity. Try to see the good in everything especially the one within yourself.” Olympus MJU Zoom 140/Kodak Colorplus 200
The United States of America — "Too often I think women are afraid--whether they realize it or not, but what are you supposed to do? Growing up I feel we are universally told to be afraid--speaking as an American I know that's true for my country at least. "Well don't go alone." "Do you need someone to go with you?" "That sounds a little dangerous." "Well just be careful." Though these statements can mean anything, I think most of us already know what they mean. These are things we get told by our parents, friends, strangers, ourselves when we do things like travelling, going out, existing. Have you ever stopped to consider how exhausting it is to think, "...that would be so cool, that sounds like fun! Oh, but I don't think I could do it..." simply because it might not be safe as a woman? I just want to say don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to the point that your fear is debilitating, but take that fear and be smart—dissect it, tear it apart, understand it. Figure out why it scares you and then maneuver around it. Fear isn't all bad, but most of it is there to stop and oppress—get rid of it. Then take what's left, the realistic fear that's there to protect you until the world changes one day so we don't have to fear stepping out as a girl, and be smart, act without fear because once you understand it, once you acknowledge it, it can't stop you."
