Not every day is for thriving — some days are just for surviving. This adlib is a gentle reminder for the ones who always pretend to be okay even when they’re falling apart inside. A soft hug in spoken word form, it blends Tagalog and English to tell you:
You don’t have to fix everything right now.
You don’t have to smile if it’s heavy.
And no — you’re not a burden for feeling things deeply.
If all you did today was breathe and exist, that’s already enough.

So sit down. Take that breath.
The world can wait.
Ikaw muna ngayon.
