Alone Together
The week started off with me receiving a pink paper flower from Mary Ann. It really made my heart melt. I appreciate that she thought of giving me something for valentines, it was sweet of her to do so. Aside from that, I just had regular classes and went home after class because I was a bit drained. Funny story though, when my grandmother saw the paper flower, she thought it was real and she thought it was from a suitor! 😂

Valentine's day always makes me feel so bitter even when I don't have a reason to be bitter 😂. This year though, my valentine was extra special. I was so glad that I was able to celebrate Valentine’s day with the best people in my life right now, my circle of friends. What made it even more special was the fact that I got to attend one of my comfort band’s gigs in the Mall. Lola Amour's music became one of my comfort during the times that I felt like I was at my lowest, so hearing their songs live made me feel healed despite a chaotic environment. It was so crowded! I don’t like crowds nor do I like noise but that day, I considered it my comfort crowd. Just the fact that I was able to attend with my closest friends was enough for me to feel comforted. It also made me soft that they didn't even listen to Lola Amour but they still attended for my sake.
For Wednesday, we just had practice and classes as well. Gotta admit though, school days without Sir Miguel felt a bit off for us Humanistas 😭. We were used to him around so him being absent felt weird, or maybe it’s our attachment issues talking but nonetheless, we do hope he’s already feeling better.
Thursday came, I only had to attend the foundation day practice. Right after practice, I visited the school I used to go to when I was still in Junior High School. We were there to celebrate my former SPA’s Birthday! Fun fact though, we had no cake in hand so we were grateful that our former G10 adviser sponsored two boxes of Pizza. 😭 During the time that we were there, ma’am had to train the junior scribes of the school paper so we were left at the faculty with the other teachers. I was grateful that I got to catch up with them again after a long time! We all talked about how we were doing and what our plans were, especially that the UPCAT is coming. It felt nice, we never had the opportunity to talk like this because of the pandemic.
While I did kind of expect it, I was still surprised that my former SPA asked us to mentor the junior scribes she was training. I used to be the columnist and I also became part of the Radio Broadcasting Team back then so it felt nostalgic as I listened to the new team now. As I gave out my comments, I couldn’t help but reminisce. Back then, I used to be at their spot. I was the one who used to feel so nervous and pressured because the alumni were going to judge my work or watch me perform! But now, I am an alumni. How time flies. Speaking of Journalism, I met our new SPA Adviser during Friday! I already met him before because he was my brother’s coach in the basketball team back then. I felt thrilled meeting him and at the same time, nervous for what’s to come for the following weeks. I could already sense that the school publication would be alive again.
For me, this week was a week of healing. I couldn’t exactly say that February was treating me so well, emotionally speaking, but this week really helped me realize that healing is not only a process that you go through alone, it’s a process where you’re not alone. You are with your people along the way. Which is why this week, I’m dedicating Conan Gray’s Comfort Crowd to my friends. They are my comfort crowd, the one that I run to in my darkest. I will always be grateful for them. While we all can be alone sometimes, we should never forget that we can always be alone together.
