Pero I still don't know kung para ba talaga sakin to because di sya ganun kadali. Madaming issues and di mo alam kung sino ba talaga dapat pagkatiwalaan. Di mo alam kung sino ba talaga yung mga sincere, sobrang daming mask. Ang hirap magtiwala. Di ko alam kung bakit kaya ng mga tao na nandito yung mga nangyayari.
