Matagal ko na itong itinago sa drafts ko and after a long time, nakapag-decide na rin ako na i-publish at i-share yung story ko na ito na sobrang tagal nang naka-save lang sa drafts ko.
Aminin ko, hanggang ngayon, kinakabahan pa rin ako. May takot pa rin na baka husgahan, baka hindi pasok sa panlasa ng iba, at baka bumalik yung pakiramdam ng ma-bash, yung experience na minsan nang nagpatigil sa akin magsulat. I’ve been there, and I won’t lie: it hurt. It made me doubt if my writing was worth anything at all.
Pero habang tumatagal, na-realize ko na growth doesn't happen in the comfort of your drafts. Kung mananatili lang ako sa takot, hinding-hindi ko malalaman kung hanggang saan ang kaya kong marating.
I am writing this for me, and for the story that has been living in my heart for so long.
To my future readers: I know not everyone will love this story, and that is perfectly okay. We all have different tastes.
If you find that this story isn’t your cup of tea, it’s completely fine to stop reading. Mas okay na ilaan mo yung oras mo sa mga babasahing mas nagpapasaya sa’yo kaysa pilitin itong basahin at mag-iwan lang ng negativity.
I am always open to constructive feedback, but let’s keep this a safe and kind space. Let's practice empathy, tandaan na sa kabilang dulo ng screen, may tao ring naghihirap at nagbubuhos ng puso sa bawat salitang isinusulat.
Introducing: Before My Last Tomorrow
This story is a piece of my soul. Pinaghirapan ko ito, binuhusan ng oras, pagod, at maraming emosyon. It’s not perfect, It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s mine.
If you are looking for something that feels authentic and you’re willing to give a new writer a chance, I would be honored to have you as a reader.
