“Living the life is finding peace and pursuing what brings you joy rather than conforming to others’ expectations because life is too short to please everyone.

“My Idea of living the life or living the dream life means having peace of mind, good health, being surrounded with people I like and love, having financial freedom, strong relationships, genuine friends and the ability to travel and explore.

Actually, I’m living my dream life now because with the grace of God, I have all these plus a loving family.” — Hemilyn Escudero Tamayo, former beauty queen/visual artist
