Russ' Updates #109: Pagbangon








I'd like to apologize for the lateness (yet again) of this RussDate; things haven't really been going that well for the past few days. There's been academic load, extracurriculars to catch up on--and to be totally honest with you guys, recent events have left me pretty shaken thus far. 

I guess it's time to be real: things haven't exactly been the best. Worse and worse things have been happening both inside the country and out, and to be honest, it seems like the best thing to do is to shut down and just stop caring. It's really hard to see people--my friends, classmates, loved ones--feel scared and insignificant because of what's been going on. 

Know that it's okay to feel angry. It's okay to be upset, it's okay to feel sad, it's okay to feel disappointed, it's okay to feel hurt. 

But do know that the sun's still going to rise again in the morning and that the world still turns, spins. Know that there's still so much work left to be done--and that the fight isn't over yet. 

*Pagbangon is a Filipino word which means "rising".
