“I think I'm refusing to feel anything, securing myself with numbness, because my stay here is only temporary. And to feel joy would only make the pain of separation worse when I finally leave. The feeling is like that of deciding whether or not to forgive a cheating lover.”

I love these lines.

Until when are you gonna be here?

Can relate to your displacement and concerns re: money and costs of living here vs. Small Town. Also why I don't go out much, lahat mahal! Though for displacement, maybe it's because of the current circumstances and company. Could be better next time around 💗

I hope Father isn't getting conned 🤞

hey b. i wrote to you on ig. i don't know na where to talk to you hahahahaha but seeing as we're committed to building our blog here, i'll message you here and on substack dm. I dearly wanted to meet you and our other classmates but alas di talaga kaya. dalawa lang na meet ko and that's because they're within proximity. i need to secure a job and some funds first because the store can only really give me survival mode money. so when the time comes magkikita talaga tayo.

grabe talaga. i feel like there was a time here when I would go out with only 200 pesos and I can eat a snack and buy a small bunch of school supplies. now parang wag na mag effort kung 200 lang dala mo. pamasahe na lang.

i think i'll be here until Saturday morning. father is torturing me with all these go-to's pero keri lang. i really hope to see you soon!
