I recently watched Y speak and their topic wassss about ex-es. Their episode was titled "Ex-cess Baggage". But I was only half-listening and half-watching; I was actually playing a mobile game "bubble"..hehehe.
Anyway, beyond the distractions, the profoundness of the sentimental and the "so-so-smart" debating... one line hit me. It goes (something like):

We get to know ourselves better when we are in a relationship. And most of the time we do not like what we found out about our ourselves. But even if we do not like ourselves, we have to admit that fact that it makes us a better person because eventually we wanted to like ourself better, too.

Aheemmm..*so true* lang ang ma-cocomment ko ^_^
