In a small coastal town nestled in the rolling hills of Villahermoso lives Mari, a girl suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts, has hit rock bottom in life. She had lost hope and doesn't see any reason to go on living anymore. Her life chan...

It's already afternoon yet we're still here at the hospital because mom apparently took aspirins before we went here, it was not that serious but the doctors want to make sure that she is doing well.
And so I'm alone right now, sitting silently on a bench here at the hospital hallway and watches people dealing with their own life struggles.
I remembered mama doing 'mom-things', when life was simple and all I do is to make my mom happy. But I knew her life isn't as perfect as it seems, especially when she married Alejandro when I was 6, that is when her life started crumbling.
I always knew that my mom had her own struggles, but I never truly understood just how deep it really is. It wasn't until today that I realized that she struggles with depression, just like I do. I can now see how her constant irritability and lack of motivation might be caused by more than just the stress of everyday life. I can also see how she might not always have the energy to be there for me in the way that she wants to.
I always ask myself, why do we need to suffer? It's a common question but no matter what I do, I can't find the answer. Even the internet didn't helped.
I realized that my mom is just a human being like me, with her own past, hopes and dreams. She was once a teenager just like me, with big ambitions and a bright future ahead of her. But somehow, along the way, she lost the spark that once driven her and became someone who seems to have forgotten who she truly is.
She is now a tired, worn down woman who seems to have lost sight of her true self.
But maybe, just maybe, if I can understand her and where she came from, I can find a way to help her. And maybe, just maybe, I can find a way to help myself in the process.
It's a hard realization to come to, but it's also a relief to finally understand what she's going through. Now, I can be more empathetic and supportive of her, and hopefully help her find the help that she needs.
"N-Nurse! Saan po ang room ni Kamari?! Kamari Javellana?!"
Napalingon ako sa reception nang marinig ko ang pangalan ko. Ganun nalang ang pagka-taka ko nang makita ko si Wes--kasama si Elijah--na parang kinakabahan habang nagtatanong doon sa reception.
Mas nag-taka ako nang lumingon ako sa relo ko at malapit na mag-ala una. Klase na nila kaya bakit naman nandito ang dalawang to? At tsaka bakit magka-sama sila?
"Sorry po sir, wala pong Kamari Javellana sa listaha--"
"Ano?!"
Ewan pero natawa ako kay Wes. Akala niya ata ay na-admit ako, kitang-kita ko sa mga mata niya.
"Hey, can you calm down?" kalmadong tanong sakanya ni Elijah na parang bago sa pandinig ko. I expected him to be irritated, that's why.
"Wala po talaga sir, meron pong Javellana pero Kendra Javellana po"
