As the school year draws to a close and the sun casts its warm rays over the bustling corridors, I find myself lost in a sea of memories—memories of laughter, tears, and countless adventures that have shaped my high school journey.

As I open my eyes, I stared blankly at the void, feeling nothing but anxiousness. Stuck in the cycle---cycle of torture, getting sick and frustrated each day…

“Alex! Wake up, you’ll be late on your classes if you don’t---”
I heard mom head out the room and closed the door.
​
“It’s seven in the morning already? It felt like just an hour of sleep…” I whispered then heaved a heavy sigh. I checked my phone for updates about our classes, only the links have been posted.

There's more to life than just surviving. But sometimes, just surviving is all that you can get.
I was on my way to work. Transportation system during this pandemic brings much hassle than I ever expected. I was running late and it irritates me. I could have just laid on my bed and done nothing at all but I couldn't because I need to sustain the needs of my family, or else, all of us will die from hunger.

Streetlamps bear the burden of being on its own during the darkest of times, trying to stand firm and shine brightly---wanting to concede in the battle of who knows what waits beyond. Tell me, is it the virus that everyone is afraid of or the pain and suffering one must endure through each day?
