"This poem is my truth. It's about choosing myself even when the world says I shouldn't. They tell me to put family first, but what if family is the one who hurts me? These lines are my reminder that self-love isn't selfish - it's survival. By loving myself, I learn how to heal, How to breathe, and how to give real love to others."

Sa bawat ngiti niya, may kirot na hindi ko masabi. Nakikita ko siyang masaya sa piling ng iba, habang ako, tahimik na nagdarasal na sana... ako na lang. Hindi ko alam kung paano naging ganito - bakit ako nahulog sa taong hindi naman para sa akin. Pero sa tuwing nagtatago ang mga mata namin, parang may lihim na kwento na kami lang ang nakakaintindi. Kung ako na lang sana, baka hindi ko mararamdaman ang sakit ng pagiging pangalawa. Baka ako na lang ang pipiliin niyang mahalin, hindi 'yung taong lagi niyang inuuna. At kahit alam kong impossible, hindi ko mapigilan ang puso kong umasa. Dahil minsan, ang pinakamalakas na sigaw ay 'yung hindi naririnig ng iba - ang bulong ng pusong nagsasabing... Sana ako na lang.

The world always said love wasn't real, that "forever" was just a sweet lie. But the moment my heart skipped for a tall, moreno boy with the cutest smile, time itself froze. I didn't even get to ask his name, yet my chest felt like it was carrying a secret only I could understand. Intrams became unforgettable when I discovered he was a volleyball player - Miggy. His real name: Hayden Miguel Sevilleja. I gave him a nickname right away, because somehow it just fit him perfectly. But fate was cruel; that was the last time I saw him in school. He was transferring, leaving behind only the memory of that fleeting spark. Five years later, destiny played its trick. I accidentally bumped into a confident, arrogant engineer at a prestigious company. My annoyance melted into silence when I realized who owned it. My breath caught - it was him. The boy I once liked, the boy I never forgot. Miggy. Hayden Miguel. Still brilliant, still magnetic. My heart whispered the question I was too shy to say aloud: Do I even have a chance with him now? I will make sure that he will fall in love with me! Maybe then he'd realize that my love has always been his.

OFFICIAL WATTPAD ENGLISH TRANSLATION She spent her life giving pieces of herself away. He was the first to ask her to keep something for herself. *** A devoted psychiatrist, Vina has spent her life putting her family first, leaving little space for herself. When Calix, a former college schoolmate who has quietly cared for her for years, reenters her world and becomes part of her daily life, old familiarity turns into something deeper. But love is not simple when expectations, grief, and personal battles collide. As both are forced to confront wounds they never meant to carry, distance and healing take them on separate paths. In the quiet spaces between loss and hope, they must decide whether love is strong enough to find its way back. COVER DESIGN: Rayne Mariano

Started: 04/27/2021 Ended: 08/24/2021 Ang hirap palang tumanda. Ang hirap magbayad ng bills. Ang hirap suportahan ng pamilyang akala ay isang milyon ang suweldo mo. Ang hirap ngumiti sa nanay na mataas ang tingin sa'yo pero hindi ka kayang ipagtanggol. Ang hirap tabihan sa hapagkainan ng tatay na pinag-uubusan mo ng pera pero hindi ka maalala. Ang hirap mag-abot ng tulong sa kapatid na baon sa utang. Ang hirap intindihin ng hipag na nakakapagpa-rebond pa kahit kapos na kapos na. Ang hirap pakisamahan ng bunsong halos ilahad ang mga palad tuwing makikita ka. Ang hirap ngitian ng mga taong tanong nang tanong kung bakit hindi ka pa nakakapag-asawa. Ang hirap humarap sa mundong isasampal sa'yo na mag-isa ka. Tulong, bigay, utang. Isang iling mo lang, madamot ka na. Kasama mo sila kapag may maibibigay ka, pero hindi mo sila mahahanap kapag wala na. Ikaw ang kakayod, sila ang tutuka. Ikaw ang iiyak sa pagod, sila ang magtatamasa. Iyon ang summary ng buhay ko. Sobra-sobra ang naririnig na paghingi, kulang na kulang ang naririnig na pasasalamat. Sobra-sobra ang pagpapasensya, kulang na kulang ang natatanggap na pagpapahalaga. Sobra-sobra ang binabayaran, kulang na kulang sa kasiyahan. Kaya nang dumating sa buhay ko ang nag-iisang lalaking hindi ako nakita bilang naglalakad na alkansya, ang nag-iisang lalaking nakinig sa mahabang listahan ko ng problema, ang nag-iisang lalaking nagbigay sa akin ng kakaibang saya, ipinangako ko sa sarili na sa gitna ng hirap ng pagtanda, magtitiis ako basta't siya ang kasama. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay pagtalikod sa minahal na pamilya. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay paglaban sa mundong pinatatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pera. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay ang pagdurusa't pag-iisa. Siya ang ginhawa, pahinga, at kasiyahan ko. Dumating man ang araw na tanaw ko na ang dulo. Dumating man ang araw na wala na kaming sagot sa lahat ng bakit at paano. Dumating man ang araw na pareho na kaming talo.

This is about Maxine Camilla Del Vario who is an academic achiever and also loves to watch and read romances, but still doesn't believe in love. And thinks that forever is just a hearsay because in her world, nothing ever stays-everything eventually leaves. She hates Men because of her step father who abused her. But what she hates the most is being left alone. Just like what her real father did. And that's when she promised herself not to talk or look on a guy unless it's needed. But a guy named Maximilian Jasper Lamerux caught her attention. She broke the promise she once made to herself and fell in love with this man. Despite everything, she chose to try-to love, to trust, to believe that not all men are like her stepfather. Because deep down, she knew she would never be free if she kept clinging to the pain of her past. But what if the man she loved ends up hurting and leaving her too? Will she still forgive him?

"Ginawa nila akong laruan. Every insult, every punch, every laugh - they thought I'd stay broken forever. They buried me in shame, but what they didn't know... was that pain can sharpen a blade. Then she came. The girl with a mind that could outsmart the world and a heart that could heal even the deepest wounds. She taught me how to stand, how to fight, how to believe in myself again. She became my reason to rise. And now, sa harap ng mga bully, I made my promise. Hindi na ako 'yung batang tahimik na pinagtatawanan. I'll come back stronger, smarter, and mercilees. I'll make them taste the fear they once fed me. This isn't revenge for the past - this is justice for every scar they left. That's my killer's promise... and I swear, they'll never forget it. - Miles Raphael Soriano
