Aiko believes in the power of surprises and accepting change as a pathway to growth. She stated, “I've learned that taking chances is not a sign of recklessness — it's a sign of hope. It means believing that life still has beautiful surprises waiting for me. And embracing change doesn't mean letting go of who I am; it means allowing myself to grow into the woman I'm meant to be.”
