𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒚 | Sino Nga Ba Ako?

Malapit na ako sa pangarap. Iyon ang palagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko kapag napapagod ako. Kaunting hakbang na lamang, kaunting tiis, kaunting gabi pang puyat. Malapit na.

Ngunit habang papalapit ako roon, bakit parang lalo naman akong lumalayo?

Hindi sa pangarap—kundi sa sarili ko.

Hindi ko maikakaila kung gaano na kalayo ang pagitan ng dating ako at ng taong nakikita ko ngayon. Dati, alam ko kung sino ako. O marahil, hindi ko lang kailangang tanungin. Anak ako. Si Ate. Iyong taong may oras para makinig, may lakas para umintindi, at higit sa lahat, may panahon para sa mga simpleng bagay na ginagawa ko para sa kanila.

Ngayon, may mga bagay na hindi ko na nagagawa gaya ng dati.

May mga munting bagay para kay Mama na dati ay kusa kong ginagawa. May mga pagkakataong para kay Ate na dati ay palagi kong napaglalaanan ng oras. Hindi naman dahil nagbago ang pagmamahal ko sa kanila. Hindi rin dahil ayaw ko na. Siguro, dumami lamang ang mga bagay na kailangan kong unahin, at hindi ko namalayang unti-unti ring nabawasan ang mga sandaling dati ay natural lamang sa akin.

At kung tutuusin, hindi ko naman namalayan kung kailan nagsimula.

Kailan nga ba ako naging ganito?

Kailan naging mas mahalaga ang susunod na deadline kaysa sa mahabang kuwentuhan? Kailan ko natutunang ngumiti kahit pagod, tumango kahit hindi na naiintindihan, at magpatuloy kahit hindi ko na alam kung para saan?

Siguro, iyon ang mahirap sa paglaki. Hindi mo namamalayang nagbabago ka habang abala kang sinusubukang maging kung sino ang kailangan mong maging.

At baka iyon ang dahilan kung bakit minsan, kapag humihinto ako sandali, hindi ko maiwasang tanungin ang sarili ko kung nasaan na ang dating ako.

Na baka sa pag-abot ko sa pangarap, marami na akong nakaligtaang maliliit na bagay na minsan ay bahagi ng araw-araw ko.

Baka isang araw, tuluyan kong maabot ang lugar na matagal kong pinapangarap, ngunit kapag humarap ako sa salamin, hindi ko na makilala ang taong nakatingin pabalik.

Sino nga ba si Ate?

Sino nga ba ang anak na minsang kilala ng tahanang ito?

At higit sa lahat—

sino nga ba ako?

‎As the days pass by,
‎The world can change in a blink of an eye.
‎You have faced countless struggles
‎While darkness tried to shadow your life.
‎
‎Hear me, my friend, it's not too late.
‎You faced problems but you need faith
‎In this day, hold on tight,
‎Because someday, that darkness will turn to light.
‎
‎Wipe your tears and hold my hand.
‎I'll listen to your thoughts,
‎Word by word, for you to know
‎You are not alone.
‎
‎In this world, you tried to hide,
‎But you need to know
‎That the world is vast.
‎So my dear friend, please stay alive.

𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌

Some battles are fought in silence—behind smiles, quiet rooms, unanswered messages, and words left unsaid. Not every cry for help sounds like a cry. Sometimes, it is simply someone saying, “I’m tired,” hoping that someone will stay long enough to listen.

Su***de prevention begins when we choose to notice. It lives in the simple “Kamusta ka?”, in the courage to listen without judgment, in creating spaces where pain can be spoken without shame, and in reminding someone that their darkest chapter does not have to be their final page.

This Su***de Prevention Month, let us be more than observers. Let us become listeners, companions, and voices of hope. A conversation may seem small, but to someone struggling, it can be a reason to hold on for another day.

We may not always have the answers, but we can choose to stay, to listen, and to remind one another: you are seen, you are heard, and your story is still being written.
