'Be obedient, be kind, be understanding, be open minded, be someone who wouldn't disappoint the people who expects a lot from you,' ano pa ba, ah 'act your age dahil nag-iinarte ka lang. Mood swing lang 'yan.'
It's funny that I have to be that version of me that pleases people around me until I became an alien to my own physical body. I didn't realize until now that I have been pleasing 'that person' all my life.
How can one nurture a soul if it is contained by rules that if abided it'll become a disappointment?
