Back-up
If you set a thing or a person as inspiration to whatever you’re doing, you’ll surely finish it. Last night, we were asked to write a short story. It was a surprising task, but it was a good training.
I could not think of a better story. I wanted a suspense crime or a bloody incident, but when I remember this friend who just delivered a baby, my brain started to function. “Her experience would be a better basis,” I said.
I chat with her last night and she shared her circumstances to me. She’s suffering as her family left her because of her early pregnancy. She has no regrets of doing it, but she’s planning to let her baby be adopted by another parents.
She’s left here while her family is in Manila. The parents did not even care about her. How could they take that their daughter here is in misery? Could they still eat well? Could they still breathe easily? Could they still sleep soundly?
They should forgive their daughter. Though they may throw to her face that it was her total fault, but they need to accept that whatever may happen, the world may turn up and down, she is still their daughter.
Everyone commits mistakes. These parents should also think that once, twice or more times in their lives when they were young, they also did a thing that was hard to accept, but their parents still opened the door to welcome them.
(Sigh). Thus, that story I wrote is inspired by the condition of a former classmate of mine.
