WATCH:
But then, I see my daughter
and she becomes the reason I still move forward.
The love I lost…

The kind of love that stays,
even when the world doesn’t feel safe anymore.
That’s invalidation in its rawest form:
•Instead of your feelings being heard, they’re flipped back on you.
•Instead of “I understand why you feel that way,” you get “ikaw kasi naghahanap ng stress / ikaw lagi may nakikita.”
•The result? You’re left questioning yourself and carrying the weight alone.
It’s not that you are the problem — it’s that the pattern of response makes you feel like one. And that’s exhausting.
