The Truth Will Always Prevail in this False World

The story of
AL Jastin
Hey there! I’m AL Jastin, a proud guy from the quiet and cozy town of Socorro, Rizal. I’m the youngest in the family, yes, that means I have an older sister who probably knows me better than I know myself.
This blog is my little corner of the internet where I figure life out, one story at a time. I started writing here as a way to discover who I am, my thoughts, my experiences, and everything in between.
When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me deep in a game of chess, plotting my next move, or on the hunt for something delicious to eat because discovering good food is one of life’s greatest little joys.
I don’t have all the answers yet and honestly, that’s exactly why I’m here. So if you’re on your own journey of self-discovery too, stick around. Let’s figure it out together.
A Letter To My Future Self
Dear Future Self
Hello, how have you been? It has been a modest life that I have left you with, and I hope it continues. How is she? Are the two of you still going strong? I wish it is. How is life been treating you? I know it must be hard, but keep pushing on, you still have a life to live for. You know, I have not been able to break out of this uninspired life of mine. My habit of preferring to do the same old mundane things have taken a toll on me in this past few months. It is nice to be free sometimes, no, I dreamt of always being free – free from this bad habit of mine.
So, how about you? Have you finally sought after your goal, wants, and dreams in life? Or have you still not free from your shell… Well I reckon since you are an adult now you are at least a bit more stable than the me today. I hope that is the case.
Anyways do you still play games? I love playing games, it is one of the few moments where I can momentarily escape from this life, as well as arts and other things. Well, you probably do still play games. Also, people say you are great and have talent, I probably do not think much of it, however it does give me stress. But, looking back at it, I hope you break those expectations and prove those positive expectations about yourself.
Now for the last and most important question, are you still afraid of being alone? In a sense, having no one to care for you as a person… As an adult you probably have vast amounts of experience now, and are thinking differently of the people around you than what I am thinking of right now. Though, I know that you still acknowledge the fact that as a human being no matter how big of an importance we give to ourselves, it is still in our nature to help, even if it gives us back nothing in return. If you one day you will meet a person who has the same fears as you do, please do not make them experience the pain that you have felt. May you and I be strong.
