Activity 2.9: INTROSPECT

TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

By: Alaiza L. Balindong

Throwing items into the fire that would never leave a trace or a memory of it will be hard for me, even
my sad memories that broke my heart I never wanted to erase them in my life because of those
experiences I become stronger, and they leave with a lesson to learn. But if ever I'll be forced to throw
items into the powerful fire I think I will throw those items that will remind me of being weak and
bullied.
My picture during my elementary days was that I had swelled eyes because my classmate punched me.
A shirt that I keep that my mother bought for me during my grade 4 nutrition month but I was not able
to wear it because someone hide it. A Shoes that my cousin gave to me that are still being kept now
because I never had the guts to wear because it looks exactly like the shoes of my classmate that always
bullied me, if I wear them he will make me take them off and I'll go home barefoot. My bag and uniform
that I always wear during my elementary days that both witnessed my everyday struggles and fear
because of those bullies classmates I had.
Throwing those things is to forget that I had been hurt and bullied, that I am weak and thin that I can't
fight for myself. Hopefully throwing those items will help me forget and be fully forgiven those people
even though they never ask for it. My mother loves to keep things that reminded her of when we were
young, she will surely get angry if I burn those things, those were the consequences I am expecting by
throwing those things. Being bullied physically and emotionally is hard to forget especially when we
were young.
