The older I get, the more I realize that there will always be people who will find my existence doubtful or unappealing.

I AM NOT FOR EVERYONE. And that's okay.

As much as I would like to be an "available person" to most, I just simply can't. Not because of my inability to cope, but because I am not supposed to.

I tried to be that guy who pleases everyone for the sake of a simple acknowledgement. I liked the feeling of being seen. On and on, I groveled for attention until I didn't anymore. I stopped trying when I realized that I can't be everyone's favorite person.

I will NEVER be everyone's favorite person.

But I could be SPECIAL to someone.

I found out that there will be those who would take time knowing me more. At this point, I am pretty sure there are only a few of them. But you know what's more important?

They're genuine.
They're present.
They make time.

And I am lucky to come across these people who would randomly message me with memes, words of encouragement, updates about their lives and heartfelt messages without me even asking for it. And I love it.

The older I grew, the easier it became for me to accept that I only need a few people in my life to sustain the warmth to keep myself alive.

And to those people,
Thank you.

Most of the time, we're just stubborn.

We already know what's weighing us down yet we still continue holding on to it.

I know it's hard to forget.
It's hard to convince yourself that enough is enough. But do try.

Set your hands free.

The earlier you let go of the heaviness that binds you to your old self, the sooner you'll realize that you're meant for something more.

Take a deep breath.

HATE IS HEAVY.

Cast it off.

Let it go.

For once, give yourself the chance to liberate your mind from the people and things that occupies it rent free.

Haven't you had enough?

It's too much already.

It's unfair that they can sleep with no worries and exist in pure bliss while you crave for the attention and touch which they'll never give you for free.

Last time I checked, you also deserve the love and attention you freely give to those who can't see it. Yes. You don't just exist to serve and be of use to another person.

You also deserve the heartfelt love letters, the hot cup of coffee you used to serve in the morning, the warm hugs and kisses you give for assurance, the kind words that makes one's heart full the moment you uttered them, the evening lullabies, every single things you are capable of doing and have done for the wrong people for the sake of a relationship that was never sure.

YOU. DESERVE. ALL. OF. THOSE.

You want to live, right? So please, don't just live for the sake of existing. Live. As in LIVE.

Remind yourself that your time will come. Soon. Very soon.

It will be your turn to meet the reason why you never settled. And it will all be worth it.

In shadows cast by yesteryears, I stood,
A beacon of strength, misunderstood.
For long, I held them close, my skin,
Their refuge in storms that raged within.

But winds of change whispered in the air,
A tale of shifts too heavy to bear.
Once reliant eyes now found their wings,
And my haven of solace took new strings.

Yearning to be needed, to matter anew,
I set forth on a quest, skies so blue.
From home's embrace, I dared to roam,
Seeking a place where my worth would be known.

Through valleys deep and mountains tall,
I searched for a purpose to heed the call.
The echo of my heart guided my way,
As I chased the light of a hopeful day.

In Visayas and Mindanaon islands, I lent a hand,
A stranger's smile, a far-off land.
I found my strength, my purpose anew,
In acts of kindness, old and true.

In sheltering others, my spirit soared,
A symphony of giving, a life restored.
No longer shackled to roles once worn,
I found a truth in being reborn.

For in the tapestry of life's grand design,
We find our place, our stars align.
To be needed is not just for one,
But in the hearts we touch, the battles won.

And as I journeyed, far and wide,
I saw the world with a different stride.
Not just in being needed did I find grace,
But in the love I gave, I found my place.

So let not the whispers of doubt weigh you down,
For even when roles shift, love wears no frown.
Embrace the journey, embrace the unknown,
For in the dance of life, your light has shone.

To all dreamers of the Sea,

Your journey begins with a vision and a heart full of courage. The vast ocean awaits your exploration. Your dreams are the wind in your sails. Set course, chase your passion, and let the adventure of a lifetime begin!
