Noah:
Gising ka pa?

Emma:
Yups why
Nanonood lang sa Tiktok
Bunch of sad vids
Weird ng algorithm ko today

Noah:
Can't sleep

Emma:
Nood ka rin vids

Noah:
Hbu? Can't sleep din?

Emma:
Mej

Noah:
Then I'll just talk to you haha

Emma:
Wala kang ibang trip gawin?

Noah:
Eto nga ang trip

Emma:
Naneto trip mo manggulo madaling araw oh

Noah:
Yk I'm just curious
You have a strict parents, right?
Why did you get a tattoo?

Emma:
Sa halip na matulog ka na-curious ka pa talaga sakin ah hahaha
To answer your question feel ko wala lang HAHA
At first iniisip ko na for once in my life gawin ko bagay na gusto ko
Yung hindi ko iniisip sasabihin nila
Alam mo yon?
Like I wanted to do something for myself
And having a tattoo felt nice for me

Noah:
Wala lang ba yun? You wanted to do something for yourself. That's nice. That's valid. Hindi yun wala lang. 

Noah:
Then why did you let your mother decide on your college course anyway?
Halata naman na di ka masaya

Emma:
Hala hotseat ba to hahaha
Siya nagpapaaral eh
Baka di ako paaralin kapag umapila ako
And I really did tell her that I don't want to take that course
Pero pinilit pa rin niya
I mean I felt like I didn't have a choice that time
Tapos wala na rin naman ako maisip na gusto kong gawin sa future

Noah:
Kaya nagsettle ka na lang?

Emma:
Oo hindi ko kaya na hindi siya sunduin.
Parang I always need to be compliant to her. Na parang may utang ako na dapat bayaran sa kanya. Na dapat lagi ko siyang sundin at i-please. And I think it's because I felt like she's somehow blaming me for what happened to their marriage tapos na-guilty din ako.
Na kung di ko sinabi kay papa na gawin niya ang gusto niya, na umalis siya kung hindi na siya masaya, edi sana magkasama pa rin silang dalawa.

Noah:
What?

Emma:
Pero minsan naiisip ko
Is it really my fault that their marriage ended?
Ako ba yung asawa?
Ako ba yung nawalan ng pagmamahal?
Hahaha parang tanga diba IT'S NOT LIKE I'M HAPPY WITH THEIR SITUATION

Noah:
Typing. . .

Emma:
Now I felt her anger towards me
Na parang everyday na nakikita niya ako naaalala niya ang mga bagay na nawala sa kanya
Si papa... at ang trabahong sinakripisyo niya just to be with papa na iniwan rin naman siya sa huli
Tapos disappointed pa siya sakin
Di niya ako kayang ipagmalaki
I have no achievement hahaha
Ang sad noh
Taena naman why am I telling you this?!!! 
Pakshet di ako to ah

Noah:
Do you want me to call?
You can talk to me
And you can rant all you want
Or share whatever
I promise I'll listen

Emma:
Typing. . .

Noah:
Though it's okay if you're not comfortable.

Emma:
Ok

Noah:
Aight
