— on my silent days, i miss being a child a little bit louder. those times were i don't need to hide when i'm crying. a lollipop or candies will do to say sorry. the “hindi natin sila bati” is enough to comfort you.
this year, i went through feeling lost, being left behind, fighting silent battles, dealing with failures, feeling incomplete, experiencing pain, and finding healing. but through it all, i kept moving forward.
