Feeling lost
I’ve never experienced true love. Hindi ko pa naranasan mahalin nang tama, and I regret the times I chose to compromise myself just to stay.
One of my biggest regrets is naging kabit ako. I’m still not fully healed, physically and emotionally, kasi hanggang ngayon may symptoms pa ako at need ko pa ng follow-up checkups. It’s a constant reminder of everything I went through.
I also regret giving my first time to someone who was deceitful. Minsan naiisip ko, the moment nalaman niya na wala pa akong naging boyfriend parang naging opportunity niya yun.
Masakit. Naiiyak ako. I feel like I’ve missed out on being genuinely pursued, yung mahalin ka nang tama at sigurado. Habang tumatanda ako, I can feel myself becoming bitter. I see my friends being treated right, becoming the best versions of themselves in healthy relationships. Habang ako, nandito pa rin, still trying to heal, still unlearning what I thought was normal, still accepting what feels familiar even when it hurts.
