Hi, reader. Yes—ikaw na nagbabasa nito ngayon. 🤍
Alam mo ba, years ago pa talaga ako may draft ng kwentong 'to. Naisip ko na ang plot, nailatag ko na ‘yung flow, pero… hindi ko kinaya ituloy. Hindi dahil tamad ako. Hindi rin dahil wala akong time. Pero dahil wala pa akong lakas ng loob.
Naka-save lang siya sa drafts ng Wattpad ko—gano’n lang. Tahimik. Walang galaw. Parang siya rin, 'yung mismong bida sa kwento na ‘to.
I originally wrote this to show a side of depression that people often don't talk about. Yung hindi aesthetic. Yung hindi romanticized. Yung totoo—masakit, magulo, madilim.
Pero ngayon, I finally decided to finish it. To give this story the voice it deserves.
Kung naghahanap ka ng kwentong feel-good, maybe this won’t be your cup of tea.
Pero kung handa kang sumilip sa kwento ng isang babaeng nalunod sa sarili niyang katahimikan at natutong lumangoy kahit walang sasalo—
then maybe, this story is for you.
Just give it a try.
And maybe… you’ll see a part of yourself in Seah, too.
With all my heart,
—nickaylalala 🖤
