My classmate was raped on her way back home from university and got pregnant, but couldn’t get an abortion due to the laws. She had to drop out of university where she was studying medicine. Because of pregnancy and childbirth expenses, she couldn’t continue her studies, left college, started working at a coffee shop, lost the fun of her early twenties, and lost the chance to attend international medical conferences she once dreamt of… all just to give birth to a child she never wanted.
People say, “What if the baby you abort grows up and cures cancer?”
Okay — but what if the 19-year-old you deny an abortion to grows up and cures cancer?
Now she can’t afford to get an education. Instead, she has to take care of a baby. What about her? An actual living human being???
“Abortion ends potential life”… So do property disputes, war, and genocide. You only seem to care about lives when women don’t give birth to them.
generous pa ako neto, nitpick ko lang mga small details pero marami kasi, tapos nagsama-sama akskks
also, the plot… could’ve been better, maraming ways to solve the problem, parang hindi justifiable yung reason ni iris. well, ako lang naman to hahaha

i love the peace and freedom i have right now. i prayed for times like this and worked hard to get where i am now.
don’t get me wrong, but sometimes, especially in moments like these, i wish i had someone to lie down with, snuggle, and talk about anything… be it deep or stupid.
life is crazy.
yesterday, it made me feel like i had nowhere to go and that there was nothing more i could do with my life. but today, it gave me hope to keep moving forward and feel excited for the possibilities that lie ahead.
keep going, this too shall pass 🙂
