[Text ID: Maybe this longing is our way of surviving]
“I was always interested in taking care of my own and others’ appearance from a young age. As I was learning, I liked it because I felt happy and proud when I helped to make others, rather than myself, pretty. I learned that I could give joy to someone from that.” - Nana for Elle Singapore February 2023
