Glad You Exist

    Hello, whomever is reading this right now. I'm not sure where to begin, but I'm grateful that you're still here, taking the time to read this.

    How are things going for you? I hope you're doing well at the moment. So, before we get started, may I ask you for a favor? Please put a smile on your lovely face for me. please?

    Thank you, thank you for doing that, thank you for smiling because I'm sure you look more lovely in it. 

    May I ask you something, have you ever tried to trust no one before including yourself? Let me leave that question there.

    I just wanted to express my gratitude for everything. It may sound unusual that someone you don't know personally is telling you this right now, but I am honest. Thank you very much for everything. You may not understand why I'm thanking you, but thank you for unknowingly putting a grin on my face and for constantly leaving a nice aura on us. I constantly appreciate God for the fact that you are there for me/us every day. I'm happy with seeing or hearing you there even if there's no discussion between us as long as I know you're okay.

    Thank you for always being there for me when I'm having a self-esteem crisis, even if you have no idea what I'm going through.


    I may not be loud about all I'm going through, but knowing that you're there helped me feel better. Thank you very much.


    I mean, I build a wall to all the people I know, yet you are the one who saved me when I was drowning in the pool of darkness while everybody else is just staring at me with wonder in their faces. 

    It may sound figurative, but it is accurate. You have no idea how much it means to me every time you ask me, "How are you?" You have no idea how much it means to me that someone has finally asked me how I'm doing after such a long time.


    It's still fresh in my mind the first time I heard your voice while you were talking to your friend, and your topic was so random that no one would be interested in it, but I'm not sure why I kept my ear on the two of you, listening to what you two were saying, even though I wasn't a part of the conversation. I just stayed there and waited until you both finished talking. That time was very difficult for me because of the things I was going through, but listening to the two of you and hearing the generosity you displayed to everyone out there brought me solace.

      And every time you may think that greeting me with "Good morning" and calling my name with joy is nothing out of the ordinary for you, getting that type of excitement completes my day for me. Thank you very much.

    And remember when I was waiting for my birthday and you told me and your friend "Gusto nyo salubungin natin? Basta ako, sasalubungin ko" It was the first time I heard someone so enthusiastic for my birthday, and that sentence is the most fantastic thing I've ever heard for my birthday. I never imagined that someone I don't know personally could bring me such joy for my birthday. It may seem insignificant to some, but it is something I will cherish for the rest of my life.

     And when I informed you that I was the top student in my class, you were the first and only one to congratulate me. Thank you so much for all of your nice words; you have no idea how much they mean to me.

   And thank you for taking the time to tell me about your experiences or yourself; I appreciate the trust you have placed in me. I really appreciate the ear you are lending me every time I need one. Sometimes I was actually thankful for the forgetful feature you have so you're just going to forget whatever story I told you.

    And the moment that we're talking about the food that i really want to eat but I dont know why im not eating it and then you started asking for my address because you said you were going to book it for me, and you have no idea how pleased I was at that moment. Hearing someone cares about my happiness is priceless, and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

    

    And I just wanted to apologize to you since every time you requested me to do anything particular to sing, I have been unable to do so for you, even if I would like to sing your favorite song to you, but just remember that I am glad that you exist. Every day, I thank God for your existence.

Thank you for being there, you already have a special place in my heart.



Hey, look what a hello from a stranger turned into

There's a couple billion people in the world

And a million other places we could be, but you're here with me (even if not physically)

I'm just so glad you exist


I APPRECIATE YOU! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXISTENCE!


    It may appear too particular for the person so precious to me, but what I really want to say right now is that we have no idea how our simple words and presence out there may affect others we don't know directly, and we have no idea what influence it can have on their lives. I will appreciate and be proud of the generosity this individual gave me for the rest of my life, and I hope that we all receive similar treatment from everyone we know, including strangers we meet online.


    That person has an influence not only on the structure of my life, but also on the system of my existence. To the person who has read thus far, you may not be able to trust no one, but NoOne and you actually deserves that kind of trust.

A Note for the Living

     As you read this, I honestly don’t know where I am right now. Maybe I’m lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as the weight of my thoughts pins me down. Maybe I’m forcing a smile for someone, trying to convince them—and myself—that I’m okay. Or maybe I’m somewhere in between, lost in that fragile space where hope flickers but doesn’t quite take hold.      Or, I might not even be breathing anymore, and this will be my last words.      I know how heavy life can feel. The kind of heavy that makes you question if taking another breath is worth it. I’ve been there. Some nights, the silence in my room feels deafening, and my mind becomes a battlefield I’m too tired to fight in. I lie awake, haunted by thoughts of everything I’ve done wrong and everything I’ll never be. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? To carry all this pain and pretend you’re fine. To feel like you’re screaming for help, but no one can hear you.      That’s why...

The Weight of a Timeless Heart

Image
     There is a lyric that has lingered in my mind lately,  “My skin is very young, but my heart is very old.” It captures an uncanny feeling, as if someone has placed their finger on a truth I couldn’t articulate. How can you be so young, yet feel the weight of decades in your chest? How can you carry the wisdom of experience without having lived long enough to earn it? That lyric encapsulates the strange duality of my life—of many lives, I’d imagine.      I’ve spent countless days chasing after happiness, hoping that the next milestone or achievement would bring me the fulfillment I’ve been searching for. I believed that if I gathered enough—more success, more love, more validation—I would finally feel complete. And yet, here I am, surrounded by everything I once dreamed of, realizing that fulfillment was never hidden in these external things. It’s a sobering realization, one that’s both freeing and heavy.      We live in a world that...

Profanities in my Cradles

     Do you ever feel like you're living on autopilot? Like you're just going through the motions, stuck in the same routine, but deep down, something inside you is screaming for more? I’ve felt that. I still feel it sometimes—a strange tension between the life I’m living and the life I truly want. We get so comfortable with the rhythm of the world around us that we forget to question it. We forget to ask ourselves if this is really our rhythm or just the one we’ve been handed.      For me, the song "Cradles" by Sub Urban perfectly captures that feeling—the haunting lull of routine mixed with an almost desperate urge to break free. It’s about waking up from the dream we’ve been living in and deciding to take control. And for the longest time, I didn’t realize I was asleep.     We're almost in the last quarter of 2024 and  now, I’m wide awake.         Sometimes, life feels like a strange lullaby. The rhythm of everyda...
