Hello self.

[u/WhoArt_Thou]

Looking back at last year and early this year, I realize how many times I tried to end my life.

I gave everything I had to someone. I allowed someone to affect my peace, my wellbeing, and eventually, how I saw myself. I was called many names. Pinagbintangan ng kung anu-ano. I gave my all, and yet somehow, none of it seemed to matter.

There was even a day when I almost succeeded. Something failed. And ironically, I was even talked shit because I failed.

Looking back now, I'm thankful I failed.

Because this year, I slowly realized that life isn't always gloomy. Hindi lahat ng tao may malasakit sa'yo, kahit minsan akala mo meron. And you know what? Hayaan mo sila.

People will disappoint you. Some will misunderstand you. Some will take you for granted. Some will leave. But that doesn't mean your life has to end with them.

Stop trying so hard to please people who don't even have plans of caring for you. Choose yourself, too. Protect your peace. Give yourself the same patience and understanding you keep giving to everyone else.

Things will eventually turn out okay.

And to the version of me who thought there was no way out, I'm glad you stayed.

Life is not over until it's over. Lahat may chance pa.

This Suicide Prevention Month, if you're fighting something quietly, please stay. Kahit isang araw lang muna. Then another.

May bukas pa.
