Dear Self, embrace who and where you are not.
Dear Self,
How is your heart? 2020 is so heavy, isn’t it?
I know you have set a standard that at a certain time, you should be like this and like that. And probably the path where you are now is not even leading you to where you wanted to...

Tell me if it’s okay?
It's okay that you're broken,
It's okay that you feel like crying,
It's okay that you feel in pain.

DAAN
DAAN
Nag lakbay ng walang kasiguraduhan.
Tinahak ang daang Hindi alam saan nga ba ang dulong patunguhan.
Dumaloy na parang agos Ang oras Hindi namalayan.
Panahong ginugol sa paglalakbay ano Ang kinahinatnan.
Nag lak...
NAKAKAPAGOD DIN
NAKAKAPAGOD DIN
Nakakapagod din puro ikaw nalang ang laging yumayakap.

Nakakapagod din ang panatilihing nakahawak.
Kung ang hinahawakan ay kumakawala't pumipiglas.

Things are better and life is beautiful
There could only be enough suffering that we will encounter throughout our lifetime. God will never give us anything we can't carry, so they say. It's been so long since I bared myself through my words. It's always been my avenue for expres...
