"okay class, get one whole sheet of paper then isulat nyo kung sino ang safe place nyo at ipaliwanag" sabi ng guro namin sa oras na yun
safe place???
i just write what i want to write, hindi ko na pinahirapan yung sarili ko...
pag tapos namin ay pinasa lahat kay ma'am, pagkuha ni ma'am ng mga papel ay tila namimili sya ng magsasalita sa harap yung tipong babasahin mo yung sagot mo...
'sana hindi ako...sana hindi ako...sana hindi ako...'
ulit ulit na dasal ko sa aking isip..
"amara grace dela cruz" tawag ni ma'am sa buong pangalan ko
tumayo ako at pumunta kay ma'am, papunta palang ako sa harap ay binibigay na nya ang aking papel kaya tinanggap ko na iyon nung ako'y nakalapit na sa kanya...
"read your answer and explain it" sabi saakin ni ma'am
"ang sinulat ko sa aking papel ay 'sabi nila ang family daw yung pinaka safes place sa mundo. pero i don't believe that. maybe some people do have a perfect family. but mine is different, sila yung rason ng anxiety and depression ko. they always see my bad side, kahit gano kadaming tama yung nagawa ko. they always stick sa isang mali kong nagawa. my family didn't notice how stress and tired i am sa tuwing nag papahinga ako they always keep on saying "wala ka nanamang ginawa " without knowing na pagod na pagod nako sa mga ginagawa ko just to make them proud, wala eh they can only see my mistake but not my worth.kaya para sakin ang maituturing kong safe place ay ang sarili ko dahil ang sarili ko lang naman ang maaasahan ko hindi sa lahat pero maasahan ko ito ng buo."
