Hello world! Is this the youth you promised?

Hello beautiful people!

I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨

5th of how many.

I am binge watching the videos of BTS which is the Bon Voyage. Some of you may know it, and some may not. In one of the episodes of the series, there is this scene of Park Jimin where he constantly shouting, "Hello world! Is this the youth you promised?" I mean yes? I got to ask the world as well the same question. Is this really it? I may say yes and maybe no.

Disclaimer: This piece is not about me. It is about my close friend I am with right now and yes I asked for her permission to share this with you.

That's her. She's Jheah I am referring to. And that is how she is feeling right now. Pained and burdened.

Two years ago, I used to see her smile a lot. Laugh a lot. And do all the things that makes her happy, with herself or with us her closest friends. She was my inspiration as well as she is very passionate on everything. A very hardworking woman. A selfless one. It is okay that there will nothing left to her as long as she will be able to give. That is the kind of person she is. An ideal one.

And just a while ago, we have this conversation:

That's when I realized, she is really and has been not okay. I mean, I know what is happening around her family as she always talked to me about it and how she is getting stressed out of it. But not to the point that this is what she is really feeling. Tired. Wanted to escape from all the chaos in her head. Exhausted. And in despair. The usual Jheah that I used to having a wide smile on her face is now having a heavy heart. It is almost bursting. No it did burst out already. Seems like she can take it no more. She's already on the point that she just wanted to rest. And I can't do anything about. I do not know what to do.

And the only thing I did when she got home from work is to hug her. I cannot say any words as I feel like breaking down as well seeing her like this. I hugged her until she fell sleep.

That's the time I get to ask, is this the youth the world promised her? She is supposed to be enjoying everything for at least a return for everything she did. She never lacked of support to anyone that needs her. Why she can't even get the support from them as well? Can't she be happy the way she wanted it to be? She's too young to be stressing this much that she wanted to erase herself from the picture. It is how she should live her life? Of all the people, why does she need to experienced it? Sometimes, I am thinking can I try to feel the same for at least the weight she's been having can be lessen out? I really can't stand on seeing her this way.

I hope the world is just giving her this trial, and that in the end there is something big waiting for her. She deserves all the happiness in life. She deserves more.

I wanted to see the same smile she wore two years ago. The genuine smile with a stress free heart and mind. The one who is passionate on everything. I want it back.
