MELIORISM
( noun. )
the world can be made better
by human effort.
If you reached this far, I want you to take a deep breath before you proceed with your life again.
Ang lesson na gusto ko sanang ipahiwatig sa short story na ito ay sana'y maglaan kayo ng oras at atensyon sa inyong mga kaibigan, relatives or siblings.
Sa paraan nang pangangamusta at pakikinig sa kanilang kwento, sigurado akong gagaan na ang pakiramdam nila. Please always, always, check on your loved ones, okay?
Kung ikaw naman ang nakararanas ng depression, anxiety and other mental disorders, please don't hesitate to reach out. You are not a burden to those who are close to you.
You matter. Your feeling are valid so talk your problems out to anyone you cherish.
In our hard times, Suicide is never an answer.
Kahit gaano kabigat ang problema at napagdadaanan, huwag isipin/tangkain na magpakamatay. Maraming malulungkot kapag nawala ka at marami ka pang p'wedeng ma-achieve sa mundong ito. Yes, it sucks but I promise you, life will get better.
Another thing that I want to point out is that, you can always look for a professional help. Ang nakakainis kasi, ginagawa nilang masama iyong pagpunta sa psychiatrists o therapists. Kesyo baliw raw kapag pupunta sa ganoon. Kaya nagh-hesitate 'yung mga tao dahil minamaliit at tinatratong iba. Ang end point, they give up and opt for ending their lives.
I hope we should stop this stereotype. They are allowed to get professional help and there's nothing wrong with that. If you see/know someone having therapy sessions or taking meds for their mental disorders, just be happy for them because that they're actually trying their best to continue their life.
By the way, I included some hotlines you call or message on times that you need someone to talk to.
