I write because my heart is too loud to keep quiet, 
and too broken to speak out loud. 💙

Writing is how I survive the things I can't say. 
So I make my characters say it for me.
Every character is just me, in a different lifetime, 
making the choices I was too scared to make.

I don't write stories. I document the 3AM conversations 
in my head - the ones where "what if" becomes "what is."

My Google Docs (Keep Note) has more trauma than my therapist.
I bleed in slow motion and call it art.
I write the endings I never got. 
I kill the characters I couldn't save. 
I heal by hurting them first.

I write in English with a Filipino heart.
So if my characters cry, they cry in Taglish.
Because every Pinoy story needs an 'ate', 
generational trauma, and at least one scene with kwek-kwek.

I'm not a writer. I'm a professional overthinker with a keyboard.
Part-time writer, full-time yearner.
My characters are in therapy because of me.

But someone out there needs the story only I can write.
Even if that someone is just me.
The world doesn't need another perfect book.
It needs my messy, honest one.

So I write badly today.
Edit brilliantly tomorrow.
But I write.

Because I write so the girls who were never chosen 
can be the main character for once.

Read at your own risk.
I warned you. 😭💙
