Dearest, I feel like I haven't been, for awhile, at rest. Lately, I don't feel myself that much at my best. In this world, that just how the way of things, I guess.

There's a reason why, for the first time in a very long while, I have to post something here on my account. Doing this so, I expect that this would reach that particular person whom this post is for. Perhaps people would consider the thought of me confronting the person involved through a personal message instead of making him like a blind item like this, however, he has gone extreme already– beyond what I could imagine, and not naming him is my way of dismissing his existence because a person like him doesn't deserve to be called by his name, but with names like HYPOCRITE, COWARD, AND TRASH. Yesterday, I was greeted by Mama's puffy eyes as she went home from her duty in barangay. I thought it was a usual day for her, but when she went to me fighting off that weep of tears in her eyes... I almost cried. She told me about this person who, for more than a year already, has been targeting her with sexist and rude remarks. I tried to brush it off as I thought "What can I
