Facts!! religion as your personal belief system is okay. Like if yan ang basis mo for your morals, go. Pero if you're using it to impose sa iba, big no no.
Sometimes, the right thing to do is simply own up to your mistakes and take accountability. What isn't okay is trying to soften the consequences by playing victim.
The saddest thing about this Ateneo debacle is how it reminds us that corruption is embedded in Philippine culture—even in the country’s top university supposedly known for morality and principles.
I stopped making friends the moment I realized how deeply people misunderstand what it means to be one. A friend isn't someone who only reaches out when they're sad, or someone who talks endlessly about themselves but disappears when it's your turn to speak. A friend isn't someone who keeps taking until you're left empty. I got tired of always being the listener, the comforter, the one who stays up late giving advice but never gets asked how I'm doing. No one noticed when I went quiet. No one showed up when I needed someone. So now, I keep to myself. I still care deeply, but I've stopped offering it to people who only see me as a source of support. I want friendships that feel like home, not ones that drain me. Until that exists, I'm choosing peace.
