Natouch ako sa honesty ni Gabbi Garcia when she said, “Akala ko kontrabida sila (parents) ng buhay ko. I was too young to understand.”
Totoo no? Lalo na nung bata pa tayo, lahat ng bawal parang pahirap at lahat ng sermon parang walang katapusan.
Pero habang tumatanda ka, doon mo lang nare-realize, hindi pala sila kontrabida. They were protecting you, loving you in ways na hindi mo pa kayang maintindihan noon.
Yes, parents are not perfect.
May mga pagkakamali rin sila, may mga bagay na hindi rin tama ang pagkaka-deliver. Pero behind every “no” was a quiet “I love you.” Behind every strict rule was a prayer that you’d grow safe and strong.
At the end of the day, hindi sila kontrabida.
Sila yung mga tahimik na bida, na ang tanging misyon ay siguraduhing makarating ka sa tamang landas.
