| to a beloved brother |
Dear ****
first off, let me tell you that whatever you feel is valid and normal. if i were in your place, i'd probably feel the same, react the same way, and maybe say the same things.
but because i am older (wiser doesn't necessarily follow), let me share with you a few things i've realized. whether you take heed or even care is up to you.
i've learned that resentment is not a good companion. it slowly breeds inside you, making every day tiresome. it poisons every thought, making speech deadly. it shuts out all reason, making acceptance unattainable.
i've learned that our time here is neither guaranteed nor perpetual. we all succumb to another experience other than life. it has come early to some, and to others a day too late.
i've learned that i will not always be accepted, nor will i always be correct. there are things i deem right, but turn out to be the opposite when taken from a different angle.
i know that our family, however imperfect, will always be nearby. when push comes to shove, i know that i will always have unwavering support. right or wrong, i will always be secured and appreciated and loved. when i cower, our family will make me stand proud. of that i am sure.
so breathe a little easier, reclaim those wasted years, listen and yield when required, and value that which is valuable.
always,
your sister

anong ibig sabihin ng naka-kurimbang? katulad ba yun ng kurimaw? o ng kurikong? di kaya'y kulimbat? kulasisi kaya... medyo malayo na no?
