LOVE IS THE REMEDY

Hi Guys!My name is Lisa,16 years old and I'm currently living at the Eastern part of Samar.At my
young age,I've always thought that love is just a normal thing that everyone could feel towards
a person.I don't believe in LDR because I always think it never works,But all of these change
when I met someone online.I never thought that I would fall for him,cause I always believe that
all of these are just infatuation,yet I fail,he made me fall in love with his simple acts.He taught
me the real meaning of love.His name was Kris,17 years old and he's from Ilocos.

Way back to January 25,I remember myself crying.I was so upset.No one's there for me except
from my phone and pillows.The only thing that I could do was to cry and scroll everything in my
phone.Suddenly, I saw a post coming from a man who's actually in pain that that time.I decided
to visit his timeline and yap I'm right he was experiencing depression.Something's bothering me
for I know that I can do a simple thing make him feel better.I've made up my mind,I chatted
him,"Hey boy,I know you're in pain but you need to fight.Fight those things that's hurting
you.Talk to God coz he'll surely listens" Days passed but still he didn't notice my message.

One day I've saw his active status and for the second time,I tried to talk him,"I hope you're okay
now." After I sent that message,I was shocked because finally he replied,"I do not know you but
thank you for the concern." By that time,I do not know what to answer.I wonder what I would
reply to his message.Time has passed and here I am still staring at his reply.I didn't notice that
there was another message coming from him,"Miss?" I was in shock because I didn't know what
to say so I just ignored his message. After some time I decided to answer Kris,"Hi?I hope you're
doing well"He answered my message immediately,"I'm fine,Can I found out who you are and
why you are so worried? " he said."I saw some of your sad posts,I only care for you cause it
seems like you want to end your life" I replied."Yes I admit I'm sad,but suicide? Nah.I know that
it's a crime and it wouldn't help me end my problem" he response.

I was surprised of what he have said.How I wish I also have that kind of mindset.Suicide has
been on my mind since I experienced anxiety and depression. I always thought suicide would
help me end the pain.Kris was an inspiration to me.I'll never regret that I chatted him ,not only
did he benefit so did I.He inspires me to fight and to win the battle of life.I admire him for his
courage.
A few days passed and we become close to each other,Kris and I become friends.I told him
everything. I told him all about the pain I was going through,"Kris,I'm depressed" I message
him.I believe that it would be the best way to express what I feel.

He immediately replied,"Huh?HAHAHAHAHA you can't fool me Lisa,I know you're joking."Kris

know me as a happy person.It would be really hard for me to explain my side.I think of a way to
make it easier to understand. I made an LSM for him.Yes,you heard it right,I made an LSM(Long
Sad Message)

"I'm not joking Kris,I'M DEPRESSED. I have been in pain for a long time.Sorry if I kept you a
secret,I just don't want you to worry anymore. I've been experiencing a lot of stress and
problems.Sad,coz no one knows what I am going through.No one knows my pain.I know you
can understand me because you've been through this.Don't worry Kris,I'm fine. I'm just telling
you how I feel and besides I don't want to keep it as a secret anymore." He was surprised and
no other words comes from his mind except forgiveness. "I'm sorry Lisa.I didn't know that you
were going through that much." he said."You don't have to say sorry.It's not your fault." I
replied. "Ehhh I know Lisa, but we're friends right?I have to take good care of you."

After that conversation, we got closer to each other.He always asked if I'm okay.He never fail to
make me smile and because of him.I'm slo wly forgetting my problems.I gradually forgot all the
pain I had.

Several months passed,Kris admitted something."Lisa,I know we're friends but I've fallen for
you." I was shocked of what he had said.I didn't know what to answer. "Ahhm Kris, a...a..a... I
fell for you.You we're the one who taught me the real meaning of love.You saved me from
depression and sadness,I....i....i love you."

Kris and I become lovers and up until now I'm still in love with the person who saved
me.Throughout my experience,I could say that love can saved someones life.Love can heal
everything.
