The Avenue of Healing

Hydie Mariel M. Adarlo @hydzmrl

The memory of me, shattering into pieces, still haunts me every time. It’s an indication of how broken I was when everything fell apart. The ghost of the past visits mostly at the happiest times, ruining everything. As time passed by, I got used to it. I got used to crying after laughing and drinking with my friends. Breaking down becomes comfort, my daily living. It was as if I could never get through this, it’s never ending.

However, maybe life is not that evil. Maybe this breaking point is just part of a journey. An adventure I must go through. Maybe, this anxiousness and depression can end. Maybe being aware of these feelings, and embracing all these is part of the avenue of healing.

Fine

Ingrid M. Lescano @ingridlscn

How are you?

I’m

Feeling free and myself again

I can do whatever I want, dream whatever I want to be

No rules to follow anymore

Everything starts all over again

How am I?

I’m fine.

Bathtime

After one month of sadness

She cleans, clears away stress. She runs the bath, soap ready She hums, feeling good; steady
