A letter from Jun 07, 2025

Hi Ash! by this time, you're facing your journey as a 2nd-year student. we both know na this semester will be tough, draining, and tiring for us—pero sana you'll never lose yourself and keep reaching the dream and diploma that you've always wanted. sana hindi tayo huminto. wala namang masama kung hindi makapag-aral on time, pero we never claimed to be late either. you're an early birdy person and you hate being late—kaya sana, whatever happens, even if your fears come true dahil sa hirap ng buhay, I hope you'll always find a way to see the brighter side of the situation kahit gaano pa ka-worst 'yan. no one knows, but I know you're slowly losing your spark. you can't tell why. you can't tell people because you don't know how to. but I hope you'll keep asking for God's help and strength. sana hindi ka maubusan ng pag-asa. sana hindi ka sumuko. sana kayanin mo. this old version of you is still wishing that good people will surround you and hoping that you'll find a genuine and pure friendship na ma-tre-treasure mo in a lifetime. I hope you'll receive this message at the moment when you really need it most—because I am writing this to remind you that you're doing great. ayos lang maging mahina, ayos lang umiyak, ayos lang mapagod at ayos lang maubos—pero hindi dapat sumuko, oki? you can't be a dead daughter, ash. marami ka pa gustong maranasan, gustong gawin, at gustong bilhin. so please, keep fighting, ha? pahinga ka rin minsan. buy yourself whatever you want whenever you're feeling down. kung may extra money ka d’yan, go for it. treat yourself. deserve mo 'yun. you're doing great. you're strong. you're important. you're talented. and you're loved. :)
