"Alajyo, hajiman gakkeum-eun, paen-deul-i, gidae-deul, geuligo nareul saeng-gakhal ttaemada je pressure-eul mot jichil geot gat-a." sagot ko. (I know, but sometimes, I can’t help feeling pressured, especially when I think about the fans, the expectations, and even myself.)

I felt my heart ache. ​Nang matapos ang briefing, dali-dali akong lumabas ng opisina. ​"Teh, okay ka lang?" tanong ni Nadz nang makita ako. ​"Hindi ko alam, Nadz. Hindi ko na alam kung hanggang kailan ko kakayanin 'to." ​The day ended with me feeling even more exhausted and heartbroken. Every day felt like a battle, a battle for my heart, my job, and my sanity.

"Gusto ko lang ipaalam sayo na kahit na naging busy ako ay talagang hindi ka nawala sa isipan ko. And about sa work, nothing I can't manage. Kasama ko ang mga kapatid ko kaya naayos din naman." Tahimik akong nakikinig habang nakapikit, iniisip ang itsura niya habang nagsasalita. Yung kunot ng noo niya kapag pagod. Yung hawak niya sa sarili niyang batok kapag stress. “You must be exhausted…” bulong ko. “I was. Pero ngayong naririnig kita? Parang na-recharge ako agad.” Oh my god, Gianna, hinga lang… don’t swoon. Don’t you dare swoon!

Unti-unti niyang inangat ang tingin at nagsalita gamit ang basag na boses. “I'm not fine. I'm just so tired. I'm tired of being laughed at because my ex-boyfriend is gay. I'm tired of my job because of these clients who act like I'm just their mere servant and belittle me. I'm tired of doing all these extra work just to earn money. And I know I'm doing all these things for my family. But sometimes. Sometimes I'm just so fucking tired.” Humahangos na siya matapos sabihin ang mga hinanakit niyang iyon. First time niya yatang makapagpalabas ng nararamdaman.

Alam ko rin na may ganitong side si Cayden. I already know what to do pero hindi ko maiwasan na mawala sa pacing dahil nakakadistract din ang pagod. Pawis na pawis na ako at pakiramdam ko ay para akong tanke ng tubig na paubos na rin. Hindi ko akalain na mararamdaman mo pala na paubos din ang enerhiya mo dahil pakiramdam mo ay parang nauubos ka. "I'm almost depleted." Naisaad ko na habang hinihingal. I am longing for a rest. Gustong gusto ko ng magpahinga.

And now this. “Do you know how tired I am, Gen?” I asked, my voice softer this time, almost defeated. The frustration and exhaustion I’d been holding back for so long finally spilled out. “Tired of waiting. Tired of always being second to your work and your life? Tired of wondering if I even matter to you.” I had hoped that my words would make her pause, that maybe, just maybe, she would finally understand how drained I felt. But instead, she snapped back with a cold, bitter edge that made my heart sink.

Hindi ko alam kung gusto kong lumayo dahil natatakot akong mas mabasa niya pa, o kung gusto kong manatili para marinig pa ang mga sinasabi niya. "If you feel exhausted when you feel that they can't see your worth, know that your value isn't defined by anyone else's view. You deserve to rest and be with people who genuinely see and appreciate you," patuloy niya, at sa bawat salita, parang may biglang gumaan sa loob ko. "People like me," dagdag niya.

Hindi pa naman ako nakapag search kagabi ng something motivational and inspiring quote puro cheesy pick-up lines lang. Buti na lang at nakita ko 'yong quotes for life na nakadikit sa pader. Hindi ko pinahalata na binabasa ko 'yon at dahil do'n, pinuri nila ako kahit na medyo nandaya ako kaya umamin na lang ako at natawa sila. "Pero if words of wisdom para kay Jaq..." this time, I really think hard to form words that could satisfy him to keep living. "Nothing is permanent in this wicked world. Not even our troubles. Kaya cheer up, Jaq. God doesn't give us what we can handle, God helps us handle what we are given." I said straight into his eyes then gave him a bright smile after.

“Don’t read into things when you’re exhausted.” That made something inside me snap a little. “So, it’s my fault?” I almost laughed. “Tine, hindi—” “As usual,” tuloy ko. “Pagod lang ako. Overwhelmed lang ako. Hindi ko alam ginagawa ko. Yun naman lagi ang sinasabi ng lahat, ‘di ba?” He took a step toward me. “What’s really wrong?” “Nothing,” mabilis kong sagot. “And please, don’t—”

Binuka ko ang dalawa kong hita ng makaupo ako at tiningala ang ulo. I let my eyes close for a second to release the heavy feeling because of exhaustion. I've been so tired this whole day working my fucking asses in my dad's company that soon-to-be mine, and I have no spare personal battery anymore to dig my best friend's personal grave, so I let him off the hook this time for forcing me to go in this cheap place.
