A letter from Jul 25th, 2021

Dear Future Piya, Hi dae, it's me your 2021 self lol. Uhm, maybe in that year kung kanus-a nako ni e-send you'll probably cringe while reading this. Makaingon guro ka nga nganong ingani ko aning panahona hahaha. Pero chikahi biya ko ug unsay nahitabo na anang tuiga ha? Ug sige ba gihapon kog socmed lol(nganong sige kag lol🥲). Kani oy seryoso na, how are you coping up? Are you genuinely happy now? Have you already met your "standard guy"? Daghan kaayo ko ug gusto ipangutana sa imoha pero basin ug naay charge lol😆. Girl, I hope in that year na overcome na nimo ang panic attacks nga naexperience nako karon. No more hardly breathing, overthinking and feeling of kakuyapon in the future. All I can assure you is that I will do my very best karon para ma overcome nako ni, so that in the future ok na ka. I hope i won't disappoint you. I'm here writing this letter to remind you about the things you've passed and achieved, so ayaw gud e doubt imong self ha? Magsugod tas sinugdanan, lisod sab ug sa kinaulahin diba? Remember Grade 2 dae nagkacrush ka ni Chanchan😅, kilig pa kaayo ka adtong paholding hands mo after flag ceremony. Grade 3 you got bullied by your classmate, and here's your super lola being your protector, of course with mama and papa sab. Grade 6 dae nagkacrush ka ni Alexxis omg, kadumdum pa ka adtong earthquake drill nga kamo'y gisugo ni Ma'am Docky pakuha sa med kit tapos ikaw kilig kayka niya wa ra ka pansinang lex, oh diba tanga? Then that time naturn off ka maong mi move on ka(ultra mega cringe). Then here comes 7th grade, this was the time nga feeling entitled kaayo ka girl, igat igat time ni. This is the time nga you've met the best pa sa best nga mga *******. Pero hoy bisag feeling cool kid ka ani, naapil ra biya pod ka sa with honors. As what they've said nga 'di sa tanang oras kalipay ang ilang ma-feel bisag naa kay achievement, that time 4th quarter ata to sa G7 nga 93 imong general average and you're extremely proud ug happy that time, but all that happiness turned into disappointment after Mama said nga "mao na gamay kaayo kag grado kay sige ka ug cellphone". That time ana gud ka nga, I thought enough para sa ilaha ang tanan turned out kulang pa diay kaayo. Kabalo ba ka karon nga naa na pandemic tapos mag g10 na me, nakaingon ko I hope i didn't let that disappointment nga mohabog pas akong kalipay coz' after all it's my achievement imbes mo hilak ko dapat I am celebrating it bisag ako ray usa, and prove them wrong. Pero thinking about it bitaw no, on the other hand, I'm still thankful nga i felt the disappointment in me. Kay kadtong disappointment nagdala sa akoha sa greater happiness, kadtong words ni Mama gihimo nako ug encouragement to study, that's when pagka-grade 8 nako dae motuo ka ug sa dili 1st Quarter you achieve an average of 93, 2nd—94, 3rd—94, 4th—95, I'm so proud of you! Sadly, wala'y moving up tungod kay misulod ng pandemic. And oy before that diay, kadumdum kang Jeon, kadtong ex nimo nga wa nimo gi treat as one? Remember the pain they/he caused sa imoha asta anxiety nga hantod ron gidaladala pa nimo(2021) but the good thing is slowly nagaheal na ka, I really hope nga in that year you're healed up na gyud as in you'll managed to speak up for what happened and wa na kay ma feel nga embarrassment ug kanang feeling nga you're sorry for what happened. After all, it's not you who's accountable for what happen. This pandemic made me realize about such things nga siguro maoy gadala sa akoha para mahimong unsa ko in that year nga gibasa nimo ni. Pero kabalo ba ka girl, akong ka proud nimo dili masukod. This pandemic nag-open sa distance learning, sa research even if individual na you succeed of course with the help of John Lloyd(Jl) so ayaw gud na kalimti hahahaha, and one great thing sab when it comes to academic kay di na ka pareha sa una nga ginacompare imong grades and achievement sa uban. That point wherein you'll see everyone and everything as a competition, but this, this pandemic changed that. You become contented and happy of what you have and do. Our High school life bitaw was ultra mega super duper mas greatest pa sa greatest white caramel na may sweet linamnam, you've met the best people and created the best memories. Daghan kaayo ka ug nawala nga tawo nga you thought hantod na nga kuyog nimo, but it's not that bad naman diba? Naay mawala, naay maimo, ingana ra na. And hoy wa nako na include, G6 you took the scholarship exam pero wa ka kapasar but still you got into STEM program. Daghang breakdowns, anxiety and other stuffs pa imong naagian, so ayaw gud ug give up ha? Cry, scream, rest, doing that kind of things are ok, just..just don't give up. You're bigger and greater than that of who you think you are. Remember those who achieved great things are done by great people, and you're one of those. Love kaayo tika, ug proud kaayo ko nimo. Among the rest ikaw guy magmatter ug ayo, mao nay isud sa imong utok. Prioritize God, Fam and yourself. E center si God sa tanan, kay ang imposible mahimong posible ug naa siya. You rock, girl!! Sending love from your 2021 self.❤❤❤❤❤❤
