So the World Knows

Originally written in Bahasa Indonesia.
Going far back in time.
The hardest years. The lowest point in life.
Things were really bad. But there wasn't a single soul I could trust to share my life's problems with. Only God knew my situation back then. I had become too disappointed with people. Let down time and time again.
Until one day, someone suddenly appeared. They didn't force me to change or become anything. They just stayed there. For a long time. They simply chose to "be present."
Their sincerity slowly convinced me, healed me, that the world wasn't as bad as I thought. That there were still good people who could be trusted.
Since then, they became the first person I truly trusted in my life.
All the wounds, burdens, and fears that had been suffocating my mind for so long began to fall away, one by one, in the grip of time.
I finally began to rebuild my life. Restoring my confidence. Setting my direction and purpose, deciding where to go.
As I write this, I have moved past that nightmare. Risen. Even running.
And for whatever good things I have achieved now and will achieve in the future, I just want the world to know that they are the person behind it all.
