Kulayan Natin (Munimuni Series #3)

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

This is the last chapter of Kulayan Natin. It has been a wonderful rollercoaster ride for me. Thank you for accompanying me on this wonderful journey with Philline and Veslei. I hope you've learned something from this story.

Always remember, choose someone who will know your worth. Never settle for someone who doesn't see your worth as a person. Choose someone who will love you even at your worst.

The universe is enormous, huge, intricate, and absurd. And, on rare occasions, impossible events occur, which we refer to as miracles. That, at least, is the theory. I've never seen one in nine hundred years, but this would suffice.

For the first time in my life, I realized that the world is nothing but mystery, and that it lurks beneath the fabric of our impoverished, browbeaten days, shining brightly, and we don't even notice it.

Miracles do not occur. You are the one who makes things happen. They aren't wishes, dreams, or cake candles. They're not insurmountable. The truth is the truth. I have entire and complete control over the situation.

I remember the day when my doctor told me that my brain tumor has come back again.

Sa dinadami dami ng comeback sa buong buhay ko, ito ang pinaka-ayaw ko.

The day I knew it, my loved ones immediately came to my mind. Hindi ko muna inisip ang saliri ko dahil mas inuna ko ang mga mahal ko sa buhay na nakapaligid sa akin.

I'm worried back then that they might have worried about me because of my condition. And that's when I realized that it's normal for them to be worried about me because they love me, because I'm special to them.

But, I cannot blame myself for thinking that I might be a burden for me. Because back then, I still didn't know my worth.

And now, I realized that it's really worth it. I'm worth it. I'm a worthy person. I deserved to be loved, and I deserve the support that they're given me since before.

Self-worth is really important, because without them, you'll not boost your self-esteem. You'll remain weak as before. You'll never learn something.

I have had so many realizations in my life these past few years. And I'm so thankful because even at my worst, I realized that they're still for me. Walang kulang, lahat sila ay kumpleto na nandito para sa akin.

Now that I've overcome this brain tumor, wala ng mas hihigit pa sa sayang nararamdaman ko.

When the doctor told me that the tumor on my brain is now gone, agad akong nagtatalon sa tuwa.

Because, finally… This battle has already ended. And now, I'm going to restart my life again. Where I'm still with my loved ones, and nothing will change to that.

Ang magbabago lang, ngayon, wala na akong sakit.

I made a miracle happen. Ang sabi ng doctor, imposible daw na gumaling pa ako sa sakit na ito dahil sobrang lala na ng kondisyon ko.

But they were all wrong. Dahil lumaban ako, dahil pinanghawakan ko sila Veslei, ito na ako ngayon.

Tama si Veslei. We'll never predict the future. We'll never know what could happen in the next few years because everything was unpredictable. But if you have faith, and if you'll always think positive, then a miracle will really happen.

I stared myself in the mirror. Nawalan man ako ng buhok, hindi naman iyon ang magiging dahilan para bumaba ang confidence ko. Sa halip, mas lalong tumataas ang self-confidence ko.

Because, my condition before taught me to be brave and to always be confident in yourself.

Dalawang taon ang nakalipas, may buhok naman na ako ngayon pero hindi pa iyon mas'yadong mahaba. Kumbaga, parang I just changed my style when it comes to my hair.
