In this note atleast, I want to be honest. In this note atleast, I want to express. The hopes, the joy, the sadness, the pain, the love, the fear, the sorrow, the anxiety, and all the feelings I kept deep into my soul. Am I depressed? I dont think so. Perhaps, I dont know.
These past years, I kept on denying this desire I have. I see it as a coward's desire. A weak person's escape. A stupid creature's choice. And I hate it just as how I've been longing for it. I wanted to lift the weight I've been carrying all these times, asap. I wanted to end it. I wanted to die and be at peace.
But God showed me love through my family,friends and lover. He had given me a purpose. He had given me reasons to postpone my attempts. I believe He gave me this anxiety to finish whatever I started. To finish this mission. My purpose.
I became afraid of afterlife, if I ended my story in a cliffhanger. Im afraid to carry this anxiety after my own grave. After all, I wanted to die in peace.
So I decided to carry out my purpose, to payback all my debts. To give back to my loveones. I will give my brothers and sister a better life. Be happy and bond with all the friends i kept close in this life. Forgive my mother and everyone who belittled me. Prove them wrong. And be forgiven for all the faults and lies I did.
I endure everyday by putting a facade that I am strong enough and happy enough. Smile. Laugh. Cry. Frown. Angry. Serious. Silent. Loud. I didnt know which one have been true or an act, except for Love. My love for this people became my sole purpose to keep going, the reason i kept denying to myself this strong desire. That love, made me and break me. Made me feel so warm with everyone but so cold to myself. It made me feel alone. But there are so many times, I wanted to just give up, and run away from all the mess Im in. There are so many times that I wanted to choose myself for once and do what I've been longing to. That is also why, solitude heals me. It heals my soul that desires to leave this earthly identity. Do I need help? Have I gone crazy? Am I the only one who thinks like this? I dont know. I wanted someone to know this, but I never wanted sympathy nor help.
Sometimes I think the reason why I pursue on being a doctor amidst my problematic life, is not just because of my father's promise nor because of money or because this job makes me happy. Perhaps, I wanted to add reasons for my existence? since my anxiety to finish off what I've started has grown its roots, that maybe when I finish all the priorities I labeled, just maybe the unending health problems of my future patients will be enough to keep me in this life. Just maybe, this anxiety will make me extend the denial. That maybe I would have wanted to stay and endure more of life. Maybe I will have change of hearts. Am I hoping? Again, I am not sure of these thoughts. Funny tho, that I would be saving lives of others to save my own for the sake of this love, but longs to end it for the same reason. Love.
There will be times that I will dream of finishing off everything in my life's to-do list. And when I think I have done my purpose I will resign with my work, flew in an unknown, quiet and peaceful country. Take months of pure solitude. Picturing myself alone in a cozy room, with a cat, finishing a book, sipping a coffee across the balcony on my favorite pj's. Chillin'. Completely free from all responsibilities. Regain my lost self esteem. Then give myself the end I've always wanted. This thought motivates me most of the days.
That, in my perspective is not a suicidal thought. But a dream. Maybe selfishness.
That, I think is self love.
