He then posted it online on April 7 that has then gotten his fellow netizens’ attention.
Although this netizen opts to hide his identity for some reason, he shared with CDN Digital his reaction upon seeing the message on the kite that day.
“The kite was not just a kite for me, it was also served as a therapy that gave positivity to my heart’s burden. But to inform them that despite of the negative things that we are facing right now, we can always find those small ways to bring back the positivity. That no matter how hard life brings to us, we can survive and we can always find ways to fly high like the kite in the sky,” he said.
