is to be valued. for it also differs under certain accordance to issues.

Me
• Zyril | a friend

• we've all been far exclusive to persist. to undergone various defiance amid this global health crisis. and this has
been a dare demand to our mental health as students, as well. thus, due to the dominance of the anchored changes
caused by the inclined autonomy of the pandemic, we were subjected to comply thru distinct restrictions. and it is
not easy to reminisce whatever we've been through.

inexperienced. i am pleased to discover a friend, that've helped me endure my worries between my weariness. and
still, reminds me that 'i got this!', always. a simple prompt that mnemonics my hidden ineptitude. and rather
nudge me to keep going. move forward. a push over friend.
• joseph | an admired convict [a friend]

• due to the endless lockdowns, we've met unexpected people in varied platforms from socmed, in an aim seek
diversions. from those that troubles. from what then, bothers us. i craved to be noticed, i did for attention. but i
refuse to humiliate myself by asking for it.

and so, he approached me first. he admitted his adorance for me. this boy has the guts to. so, we talked. we get a
hold of our lone existence. we shared the presence of laughter by our turned companies. he've made me, fall for
him. yet, it's still unclear and we've been both in denial to settle. thus, we then, lost our translation. faster than i
thought we would be. indeed, i swear, he's only good in the beginning. i fell short.
stole my heart. but bid his swept goodbyes as rapid as the shuttles. i then, accept our fates.

and i find contentment after. the importance of it. i avoided anything that concerns him. for as much as i wanted
to write, i wanted to be written about too. this is not psychotic breakdown. it's a cleansing moment of clarity.
we're done. we came in conclusion, to be silenced. we learned to be.
- we rely on ourselves. in the phases of being lied. unhealthy as it may seem, it's the best thing i can do for
myself. even he left me hanging. still, we're good friends. for we once had a connection. and our secrets to kept.

• ruth | holy treasure [a friend]

• "this reminded me of you", is such a tender sentence. to be impacted by someone so much that they find bits of
your soul and grasp the memory of one in things and places when you are not around. she's the very fine
definition of a friend. the best one to be deemed.

how attractive it is to find a heart that is tender, without asking you for anything, but be okay. be reminded. it is
brave to accept that sometimes you're the one who needs to listen and comprehend. made me felt to surrender
matters that burdens me. but be swayed, by the currents of the flows.

in'. that is why, we all deserve to be filled, the same way we pour.
• myself | [favourite person]

• simple, yet petty complex to understand. wouldn't grow, if i couldn't change what i could. for herself, was all
she had left in those terrible days. it felt safe to be invinsible in times. no one had any expectations of me. and so,
i dreamt to be one. be left unconquered.

- we do good by chance, and we stay better by choice. one day, i'll tell my story unlike everyone else's. and it'll be
a genuine guide towards survival.
