Dear,

    Tonight I am lost with my pen paper while my mind is a mess and with a heavy heart. A lot of questions has been circling in my mind just like a typical graduating student, trying to figure out what my life will become after this long schooling journey, but first let's be thankful cause this moment has come, we are already living in the "tomorrow" we are looking forward to happen before. Breathe cause at last, we are about to make another milestone in our lives. On your graduation day, just let go of all your worries even just for a while, live for that moment cause it will happen just as fast as blink of an eye, and when you blink close your eyes, don't open it first, no cheating! for you are about to imprint that feeling, and that memory in your heart, and make sure to always look back, and linger on that feeling whenever you feel like you're being overwhelmed by all the happenings around you in the future. Thank yourself because you did it! Despite of all those people who judged you and what you're future will be, those who tried to limit you in their narrow point of views, those who tried to drag you down, those who belittled you because they think your actions will get you nowhere, YOU ARE HERE NOW. YOU MADE IT. You are here at this very exact moment, standing firm with so much gratitude and humbleness. Ready to take on new challenges,  bigger than you've ever faced before. Reflect from all your hardships, root for all the good times and all those people who stayed by your side in this journey, and acknowledge all the bad times. This will only happen once cause as you open your eyes, you'll face a new reality. You'll carry another bag of responsibilities. You'll be walking into another path on your own. It's frightening yes. You should be, because if you're not frightened that means that your dreams are not that big enough. You did it right? Just like before, you'll also make it this time! Hang on to yourself because at the end of each day, you always have you. Be that person you want to become. Don't deprive yourself of your own happiness. 

Master the language of love, truth, courage, and acceptance and speak it fluently. Breathe don't forget to breathe. You may be worried now, we all are, but I know you got this!

I know life will give us challenges, that will make us hate the world,  and hate everyone around us, even our loved ones,  but if you'll just gonna focus on the good, then you'll notice that those "fucking situations" doesn't successfully ate you up completely yet, coz there has been so many good things you've achieved.  You conquered all those challenges.  No one knows about your silent battles.  No knows about your sleepless nights.  No one understood the way you feel, and the reason why you have a cope up like that.  Nobody except you. Staying alive after all those years of battling to survive life, is already a win. So don't just give up now. You have a lot more to conquer.  Continue; Don't just stop now.

Over the past few years of my schooling journey, I've become an achiever. I always want to be on top. I was eager. I was competitive. I set a lot of expectations for myself, and I came to become a sucker for meeting everyone's expectations about me. I succeeded, yes. It satisfied me, and it satisfied even the people around me, but you know shit happens. Unfortunately, shit happened to me during my college journey. Got problems? Name it. The family situation got worse, with toxic relationships with my friends and loved ones. The battle is how to act okay every day, mostly in a suicidal and depressive state. The pressure is on the eldest child. Financial problems. Health problems. Academic pressure and problems. The never ending war between me, myself, and the world. How lucky I am to have experienced that all in one. I got affected, yes, very much affected, just like how humans would react. I became wasted. I wasted time fighting, and trying to fix everything on my own, which I

I always taught myself to stand firm and not to enter circumstances that will make me question my worth, but here I am now. I'm afraid. I'm worried, but I'm holding on to this one thought, that moments are fleeting so as time. If I don't do it now, I might regret it later, that is why I chose to continue. I chose what will make me happy. Even if its temporary. Even if I don't know where it'll lead me. Even if I feel lost sometimes. Even if I feel hurt sometimes. Even if I feel empty sometimes. We all feel that way at some points of our lives tho. I know it's only me, myself and I who's killing me, but I also know what are the things I need to go through as a human being. I still believe in better days, I also acknowledge melancholic days. I think, in order for me to survive this kind of situation is to not figure everything out for once in a
