C R E D I T S: @whatyouneedtohear ________ for when you feel unnoticed. this series i’ve started is going to be from real life examples, from real people i know. (as in, me) i will not be sharing their real names for privacy, but they are real life records. the date and year will be shared. you are never unnoticed, not while i’m alive. other than me, there’s always someone who will appreciate you. a loved one- who clearly understands you; just speak to them, tell them how you feel, even though it’s not easy. but you can always talk to me. i can even relate- not necessarily in the same way, yet… we are all united. we may not share the same beliefs, or likes and stuff, but we are united- in heart. ________ 13/09/2026: so, i actually had a bad day at swimming today. so, on the weekends, i have few classes to attend. one of them is swimming. it went out smoothly, but at the end, i was called to do a relay race (a demo race) with some other people in my batch. we were made into teams by the coaches. i was third to go, and when it was my turn to go, i was on the diving board. the whistle blowed and off i went. instead of going as smooth as i thought, my goggles came off, still stuck to my head. i cannot swim without them on my eyes, for I can’t see. so i started swimming a bit, even though it was very sloppy because i was struggling. soon, I couldn’t. i stopped and attached them back properly. because of that struggle, i lost time and was defeated by my opponent. one of my team members was standing at the end of the pool. instead of congratulating me for at least finishing, he started yelling at me for losing. before i could even say anything, he walked off. even the coaches were telling me to next time tighten my goggles and they were scolding me for wasting time- but it was tight before the race.. no one applauded me or congratulated me for at least trying without my goggles, which is not an easy feat. sure, i didn’t do the whole lap without my goggles..but at least i tried. so, if you were in a situation similar to that but perhaps in other hobbies or tasks, i want to congratulate you for your hard work and your attempt. i do not want you to feel the same way i did- unnoticed and unappreciated. congrats in whatever you did, whenever you did it, from the bottom of my heart. thank you for reading all the way here. ɪ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ, sᴛᴀʏ sᴛʀᴏɴɢ.
