HARD TO SWALLOW PILL
It’s a YOU problem. You may think your friends are being real with you just because they’re straightforward—but actually, they’re not. No one is brave enough to tell you the truth anymore, because you always act like the victim. You constantly justify your mistakes.
Eventually, your friends have no choice but to listen and agree with you—not because they believe you, but because they don’t want to hear the same drama over and over again. They want to avoid dragging it out, because your stories always revolve around you.
It’s not that they’re afraid to hurt you or tell you the truth—they're not. What’s stopping them is YOU. Whenever someone tries to be honest about your words or actions, you just defend your attitude by saying things like, “I’ve been like this for a long time. I grew up this way.”
Sometimes, you even ask other friends—friends who are also hesitant to speak honestly. And if they lie to keep the peace, you take it and run with it. You say, “I have 3 friends who agreed with me, other people complaining about me are just a bunch of liars.”
Then in the end, you turn around and say, “They’re not real friends if they’re not honest with me.”Come on. Deep down, you already know why people are scared to be honest with you. It’s not them. It’s you.
Just admit you don’t want to change.

We must not feel entitled just because we helped them. You helped them, yes, but that doesn’t mean you “bought” the right to control their decisions or expect them to always follow what you say.
“Utang na loob” is already a common sense in every situation, but please, don’t abuse it just to control people.
(This post is only intended for those who tend to abuse the power of “utang na loob” or “you owe me a lot”.)

Why is it hard for people to help without asking for something in return?
“Pagkatapos ko silang tulungan, ganoon ang gagawin nila sakin?” whenever people disagree with them. Yes, of course, people should be grateful at maganda dapat ang trato ng tao sayo kasi “utang na loob” nila iyon sayo, pero sana naman di abusuhin ang power ng “utang na loob” para mapasunod ang isang tao. It’s okay if favor/errands lang, papayag talaga ang mga tinulungan mo, pero yung part na ikaw mismo ang magde-decide para sa buhay at kinabukasan nila? That’s a huge NO. I mean, yes you can suggest, but it’s still up to them kung anong gagawin nila. It’s their life. You can help in giving the pros and cons, but do not force your beliefs and experiences just because it worked on you. Iba ka, iba siya. We must not be entitled just because you bought them expensive stuff, just because may ambag ka sa pagpapa-aral at pangkain nila. You just helped them, pero hindi mo sila binili as someone na laging susunod sa gusto mo. Just because you helped them financially, it doesn’t mean na they’ll always say “yes” in everything you ask. Your intention is to help without asking for something in return. If you get mad that they disagreed with your suggestion, and then say “After all the things I’ve given to them!” then I don’t think your intention is genuine.

Every one has valid feelings, and every one deserves to be listened to. Every one can be right depending upon the version of their truth.
But not every one can stay humble.
Not everyone can reflect on what they have done. Not everyone can realize the hurtful words and tones that they used. Not everyone is willing to listen to the other side of the story. (When I say “listen”, like respectfully listening without interrupting the speaker, without any side comments.) If you can’t do any of these, if you can’t recognize your OWN MISTAKES, your ego is too high, just too high. Sometimes, it’s NOT THEM, look at the mirror, and you’ll realize it’s a “YOU” problem.

Making a house of cards behind the scenes
Some don’t want to broadcast their hardships
‘Cause when the cards fall, people would gossip
Comparing people who had a good night's sleep
That was still able to succeed
And why the one who almost sacrificed his life
Didn’t even reach the finish line

Manga: Telework Yotabanashi
Mangaka: Yamada Kintetsu
I found out about Telework Yotabanashi while scrolling through some Levihan fanfics and this story has brought such light and warm feelings to me the past couple of days while I'm still coping with the end of AOT.
I found that there were multiple similarities between the main characters of this series and Hange and Levi of AOT. It's pretty obvious that the mangaka for Telework had to have had some inspiration from AOT. From our characters designs, to their personalities, to some of the stuff they say, there's so much that can analyzed, but I did want to talk a little bit about the ending.
At the end of this 20 chapter manga, Izumi, our female lead character, tells us that's she's having deja vu where they are by this tree. This tree looks awfully familiar *cough* and she explains why she's having deja vu. And the main male lead character, Nokoru, says that his other home and where they are now feels like paradise. For a while I thought Paradis island was Paradise, so I interpreted this as our mangaka telling us, without telling us, that this was indeed his homage to AOT.
This whole ending scene made me cry tears of happiness. I felt like the mangaka wanted to give a "reborn again" type of story to Levi and Hange and this is what he made. It's cute, it's funny, it's adorable and even though this story and our characters stood out to me as their own, I couldn't help but feel happy that this is the timeline that they finally got to feel peace. And for that, this manga will hold a special place in my heart. I wish it was longer, but I'm happy it exists and that I had the pleasure of reading it.
End of me blurting out my thoughts and feelings because I needed to.

There are times when I crave beauty validation, but when it’s served continuously in front of me, I don’t know how to react, and I don’t know if I should believe every compliment I receive. It’s just awkward. The more it comes, the more it sounds unbelievable to me. Maybe I’m used to harsh words? I just change the topic or compliment back just to hide my awkward reaction.

People being inconsiderate to you without shame is a twin of fame.
