an open letter | poem by h.c.

An open letter to my old self.

How have you been?

I know you've been through a lot, and I am here to let you know that I appreciate that you stayed alive.

For now, let me apologise.

I am sorry for the long hours I forced you to stay awake just because I couldn't stop my brain from thinking too much. I forced you to run your mind a mile a minute before bed about the same things that doesn't even matter to you now.

I'm sorry that I have to fall in love so easy, and move on from people so hard. I'm sorry for not loving you first.

I am sorry for not eating alright, for not drinking as much water as you need. For filling your blood veins with caffeine and now your hand shakes whenever you hold a thing, I'm sorry for unwanted heart palpitations.

I'm sorry that you had to embarrass you in public for laughing too hard.

I'm sorry for being so emotional.

Accept my realest apologies because now I am starting to love you right.

I'm starting to give you the care everyone else failed to provide because you deserve it coming from me. I'm starting to get more in control of your emotions, and only put your time on things that you can control over the things you cannot.

Thank you for trying to do your best.

Thank you for the times you told me how living should be done and how much I matter to you. That just like everyone else, I am important. Thank you for not giving up, and thank you for staying alive.

I will continue to love you as much as I can, as much as you need.

You did great.

– the present you

"Now I think I'm just the shadow of that girl.

A shell without its purpose.

Lost along the shore of life,

Waiting for the waves to wash me away. "

- Khim Anne Pangayan/ Betsin art parasites

This will be short because I'm sleepy. I read this on facebook and I'm trying not to relate. But part of me has somehow knew that along the way I did lost myself. To my dreams, to who I want to become and to what I love. But we will never live without a purpose. Someone gave me this bottle that has an encouragement statement written on it that says "You're made for a purpose." and I believe that I am. It's just that the purpose change, maybe because you have served it already or it's not really your purpose. We can't just live to die, we live to live. #naks #0114

Ilang beses ko ng piniling masunog sa apoy ng pag-ibig na ako mismo ang nagsimula, tiniis ang bawat paso na katumbas nito, bawat hapdi na uhaw sayong pagdampi.

Subalit kahit halos matupok na'y bulag ka pa rin sa mga sugat na tinamo ko sa pagpili sa'yo.

Gabi-gabi ko pa ring iisipin kung bakit hindi ako kapili-pili. Kung bakit hindi ako kailanman magiging sapat. Kung bakit kaya mong sabihin na mahal mo ako pero hinahayaan mo lang rin ako masaktan.
