Personaljourney Stories

My name is Virat Pandey. I am an educator, a researcher, and a survivor. When I was fit, I worked hard - not just for myself, but to help others in every way I could. I taught, guided, supported, and gave my time and energy without hesitation. I believed that helping others made life meaningful. But now, life has turned unexpectedly. I am living with blood cancer, brain cancer, and liver cirrhosis. I continue to work despite my illness, not for ambition, but for survival - to fund my treatment and my upcoming brain surgery. And yet, for me, there is no one to comfort me. No one to hold my hand through the pain, no one to ease the fear or the exhaustion. This is a story of life in its rawest form - of love, struggle, hope, and loneliness. It is a record of a life lived fully, a heart that still beats despite everything, and a fight that refuses to give up. If you are reading this, thank you for giving my words a place. And if my story reaches even one person, then my journey already matters.

Pero kahit ganun, I try to hold on to faith, kasi alam ko na every struggle teaches me and shapes me to become who I'm meant to be. I write para maalala ko: yung moments na feeling alone ako, yung times na parang sobrang layo ng hope, at yung small victories na nagpapakita na I am growing. This story isn't about being perfect, it's about real life, learning, at rising every time I fall. Through these letters, I remind myself to keep dreaming, to stay faithful sa Lord, at i-cherish ang journey kahit hard siya. This is my story, my life, my heart, written for me to see, to learn from, and to grow. These are my pages, my journey, my letters to myself.

This is not fiction. These are fragments of my lived experience - the weight of growing up under conditional love, shaming, and authority that shaped me into adulthood. Each chapter is written as it was first recorded in my notes: raw, unpolished, and without embellishment. I share them here not to dramatize, but to show that psychological struggle can be expressed through words.
