Amid the relentless pace of life, I find myself caught in a storm of emotions, longing for a moment of peace and clarity. As Eid week unfolds around me, the festive atmosphere brings back memories of simpler times, transporting me to moments spent with family, wrapped in the comforting embrace of tradition and love. However, these warm memories stand in stark contrast to the harsh realities I face as an adult. The pressures of work weigh heavily on me, familial bonds that once seemed unbreakable now feel strained, and friendships that were once my anchor have drifted apart. As I navigate through these turbulent waters of disappointment and loneliness, I can't help but wrestle with feelings of inadequacy and a deep yearning for something more. The success of those around me only magnifies my own doubts, casting a long shadow over my sense of self-worth. In "How Can The Day Be So Long?" I explore the depths of these complex emotions, diving into the challenges of identity, belonging, and the resilience needed to push through adversity. The story is a reflection of the struggles we all face in our journey to find meaning and peace in a world that often feels overwhelming.

A sad unfinished story of a student who fails in his life.

The beginning of my ongoing collection of short stories and random musings.

The "Breathe" poem begins with the poet reflecting on a poignant encounter with a boy who seems outwardly happy but hides a deep inner turmoil. The poet's observations reveal the boy's deceptive smile and the sadness in his eyes. As the poem progresses, the boy takes over, sharing his personal struggles. He speaks of his ambitious dreams and the relentless pressure he feels to succeed. Despite his dedication, the boy finds himself lost, unable to maintain focus as the burden of his studies overwhelms him. His confession culminates in a moment of despair, where he acknowledges his failure and the deep sense of guilt it brings. In the final stanzas, the poet steps back in to offer solace and encouragement. He urges the boy to breathe deeply, release his guilt, and find peace. Emphasizing the promise of the future, the poet inspires the boy to continue striving for his dreams, reassuring him that with every step forward, he will find his way again. He reminds the boy that there are endless possibilities ahead and encourages him to not get demotivated but to keep going no matter what.

There comes a time when life is happening way too fast and so you just have to take a breath, calm down, and take down whatever you've been feeling. That's the time when I start to write my poems. Whether it be when I'm bored in the classroom, or I'm having a hard time falling asleep, or I really just need to get something off my chest, I just really love to write poems. Being a proud hopeless romantic, most of these poems are about love. Whether it be about my unrequited feelings or random stories in my head, I love writing about love! Even so, there are some poems here about the pressures of my life. Either way, I just hope others can relate and enjoy my works. So, uh, yeah, just write on!

It's a story about the quiet battles we fight inside - the words we swallow, the feelings we hide, and the truths we're too afraid to speak. More than just a story of pain, it's about finally facing the truth and realizing na hindi lahat ng hindi nasabi ay kailangang pagsisihan. Some words stay with us not because they are weak, but because they are too real to say out Loud.
