Billionaire's Tale of Retaliation
Nang parang may naisip na siya, tumingin siya ulit sa akin through screen, na parang nagpapahanda sa lahat ng bibigkasin niya pang salita.
"At constant times, we have to make protecting ourselves one of our top priorities. There are many people you love and who bring you joy, but who exactly is it that you love and who brings you happiness? this is except for us lang okay? Isipin mo, nobody cares about you, so don't bother them. You understand? Try not to wait for them to change and love you again daily. Self-love should prioritize any effort to love someone else. This is valid behavior. Love will hurt you, but you'll find strength." Her words have left me speechless. My face is not only filled with tears but also with cries of pain; the words my mother utters pierce my heart. My mother gazes at me with pity, and the room serves as the sole mental space where it witness my grievances. I don't want anyone to pity me, but my mother is different; she's no one. I can show her who I really am, like an open book she can
read at all times.
