I'm so thrilled and genuinely grateful to announce to y'all, that it's an honour for me to bring a filipino original work available to readers all across the world. Filipino is not a widely known language in most parts. Though, it's am incredible language. However, it becomes hard for everybody to comprehend the meaning behind it. Since the very beginning, I have seen countless messages and their desperation to have this in the English version. For the longest time, I never truly entertained the idea. Because, my life is busy. And there's so much after Wattpad. Investing my valuable hours seemed stupid initially. But after, sufficient overthinking, absolute courage, and unwavering patience. I decided to give this pretty story originally authored by lara flores a new life. Widening the bridges of languages. So with a full heart, and through this platform, Wattpad. I'll post the chapters, Not because the original needs changing, but because I believe stories deserve the opportunity to reach everyone who wants to read them. Thank you for your support, your encouragement, and your interest in this translation. I hope that when the time comes, this version will allow even more readers to fall in love with the story that has already touched so many hearts. I'd appreciate if you constantly vote for the chapters, and be a part of my family, by following my profile.

POETRY OF LIFE 💞 Some feelings are too heavy to speak, so I turned them into poetry. This collection is for the ones who smile while carrying silent battles, who love deeply, dream fearlessly, lose quietly, and keep moving forward even when life becomes difficult. Inside these pages you'll find poems about friendship, heartbreak, family, self-discovery, hope, ambition, healing, and the beautiful chaos of growing up. If even one poem makes you feel understood, then these words have found the right home. "Because sometimes, poetry says what the heart never could." 💙
