I'm 1% human and 99% tired.

I came across this a long time ago, at a point in life that I really needed this. When I got tired of always having to second guess myself and stress about what path my past and current decisions will take me. It's okay if you feel sad and resigned, if your depression beat you for today and you weren't able to function. You didn’t fail, you’re not weak, you will try again tomorrow.

Kahit magpakadalubhasa ka pa sa sipnayan,
hindi mo pa rin mabibilang,
ang mga estrelya sa kalawakan.
Kagaya ng kung paano ko ito bilangin,
sa sarili kong sansinukob,
kung saan iisa lang ang tála -
ikaw.

The real horror is always around. It’s in the bodies left behind the bombings. It’s in the heart of those who lost their loved ones because of injustice and misconceptions. It’s in the eyes of a hopeless child without food to eat and a home to sleep after you shove him into the street because they are homeless and dirty. It’s in the minds of those people who were dragged in between the chaos terrorists made.

You think I’m scared of dolls, ghosts, and horror movies just because I’m a girl?

Women are being r***d everyday and the rapists are out there running away from the crime they made. Children are being used as an instrument to do horrendous crimes. People, children, are being molested and the molesters are not just some random strangers but their own blood - people who are supposed to be protecting them.

You think I’m afraid of an alien invasion, vampires, werewolves or scary stories?

The ground we stand on is tired of carrying all our trash. Our planet is scorching. The ocean is suffocating with plastics. I inhale deadly air that was supposed to make me alive. I exhale my own life. I wonder if my organs even work.

You think I’m afraid of monsters? F**k that.

I’m afraid to walk alone at night – even the day is a dangerous time now. I’m afraid of how we are ruled. I’m afraid of the number of things we throw everywhere. I’m afraid of those who use the name of God to spread blood. I’m afraid of how easy it is for people to cut lives. Humans scares me. I scare me.

You know why? Because I know us people.

We are killing the world and we won't shed a single sweat doing it.
