MARI

Back then, I used to really hate Mondays.

Mondays serves as my constant reminder of the endless cycle of living and obligation. It makes me feel overwhelmed. It makes me feel trapped in a never-ending routine that never seems to end.

But as I woke up today, I felt the burst of warmth and energy spreading in my room that is melting away any lingering grey memories of how I view life before.

It's an another day to take a step back and remember all the things I should be grateful for, all the things that I should cherish in my life.

And of these feeling gives me an intense deja vu. I can still clearly remember that exact moment, the day that I decided to change my life and that is thanks to Wes.

There are probably two reasons why I feel this good today: First, is because Doctor Cabrera did a very good job healing me again yesterday. The things I love about it is because there's no exact word how thankful I am to him because of the therapy sessions. And second, is because I know that if I put effort on making my days ahead a bit better then there's nothing to worry about.

Ewan pero parang malakas ang kutob ko na magiging maganda itong linggo na'to. I really am manifesting for it.

I just finished preparing myself for school so I decided to finally go down and eat breakfast. Naabutan ko naman si ate na mag-isang kumakain at nag-huhugas naman ng mga pinggan si Ante Dorothy.

"Maayong buntag, Mari! Hali ka na, kain!" halata ang saya sa boses ni Ante Dorothy nang batiin niya ako kaya kaagad na lamang akong napangiti.

"Maayong buntag din, Ante Dorothy! Anong umagahan ngayon?"

"Tapsilog, neng. Gi-extra special ko pa ni kasi maaga nagising ang Ate Karen mo"

Dahil don ay napalingon ako kay ate at ganon din siya sa akin, kaya nag-tama ang paningin namin.

"Upo ka na, Mari! Ihahanda ko muna ang tapsilog nimo" anang Ante at tsaka kaagad na hinanda ang agahan ko.

Like usual, the awkwardness between me and Ate Karen was intense. It's always like this yet I still feel the coldness every single time.

I didn't expect her to talk to me so when she called my name, I choked the toast that I'm eating.

"Kamari"

Hearing her call my name without the negative aura around it and just sounds so genuine makes me think that all of this are just my imagination. What if I really am hallucinating things?

But no. I'm certainly not because Ate Karen's eyes tell so.

"I know that I don't usually talk to you that much but . . ." she grabbed her bag beside her and pulled something. It's the medicine tabs that serves as my maintenance, mostly anti-depressants.
