Hoping that the love in fantasy can also happen in reality

First Place – 8 Words. 8 Letters. Photo Essay

By: Patricia Mae C. Bay

In a dark and cruel world of reality, she found a website that contained books that became her light and bridge to fantasy. a book that made her realize what love truly is. That became her hope that one day she could experience a love that is written in a book—a love that is full of magic. And that’s where the beginning starts—the beginning of loving herself so that when the time is right, she will be loved just like what’s written in a book.

A mother’s love is the ultimate embodiment of unconditional love and sacrifice. From the moment of conception, a mother devotes her entire being to nurturing, protecting and guiding her child through life’s ups and downs. Her love is a beacon of hope, inspiring her child to chase their dreams and reach for the stars. Let us celebrate the unbreakable bond between a mother and child, and honor the incredible strength and resilience that mothers bring to the world.

Every year since 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) has organized a global campaign for World Mental Health Day and is observed on every 10th day of October. The overall objective is to raise awareness of the various mental health issues around the world and to encourage collaborative efforts in support of promoting mental health. It also aims to eliminate the surrounding misconceptions and stigma about it to be able to help more people especially those who are still suffering in silence and to assist those who are afraid to seek necessary treatment for their mental health conditions. 

The theme of World Health Day this year is Making Mental Health and Well Being for All a Global Priority, and it starts with focusing on and prioritizing your own mental health. It is very important to remember that our mental health is just as essential as our physical health. Good mental health is not just the absence of mental illness and includes our emotional, psychological, and social well- being. Thus, it is very important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.The short video made by the Peer members of Project Peace of Mind gives everyone a simple reminder that mental health is crucial especially nowadays and that no one is exempted from experiencing mental health issues. It can happen in the corners of our homes or even in schools. So don’t be afraid to reach out if you are struggling with your mental health. 

To those who are experiencing social isolation/ loneliness and discrimination, always remember that you can find somebody trustworthy to listen and communicate with to overcome emotional challenges and make positive changes in your life.
