Wil Dasovich and Alodia Gosiengfiao
VIRAL ngayon ang “How It Ended” vlog ng social media influencer na si Wil Dasovich kung saan ibinahagi niya ang kanyang Mount Everest climb experience.
Hinala kasi ng mga netizens, ang mensahe ng vlog na ito ay para sa kanyang ex-girlfriend na si Alodia Gosiengfiao.
Mula kasi nang kumpirmahin ni Alodia na hiwalay na sila noong nakaraang buwan ay naging tahimik lamang si Wil ukol sa isyu na kasalukuyang nasa Nepal nang pumutok ang balita.
At ngayon ngang nagbabalik na si Wil Dasovich, ito na nga ba ang kanyang pahayag patungkol sa isyu?
Kung papakinggan kasi at iintindihing mabuti ang bawat salitang sinabi ni Wil ay tila higit pa sa kanyang journey sa Nepal ang kanyang ikinukwento. Mukhang ginamit niya ang kanyang experience para ilhad ang kanilang naging relasyon ni Alodia at mga bagay na kanilang pinagdaanan hanggang sa kanilang paghihiwalay.
“The climb, always easy in the beginning. Exciting, fun, full of love, and nothing else matters. Any future problems that may lie ahead might as well be invisible at this point. It’s only after some time when the difficulties start to present themselves and this usually happens when you’re already high up.
“Challenges you didn’t anticipate, a lifestyle foreign to what you’re used to, the air is thin, it’s hard to breathe. Your heart rate rises and the beat gets faster and faster. As discomfort sets in, you’re confronted by the situation of your ultimate well-being here in the Himalayas.
“And then all these questions begin to arise. Things are getting serious. Should we be planning for the higher ascent? Because if you don’t plan correcting, things can go haywire resulting in catastrophic consequences. Do we have the right gear for this? Am I even in the proper shape to do this?
“And this is where things get tough, playing mind games with yourself and even you don’t know the answers to any of your questions. The passion and love that I have for this endeavor is more powerful more than anything else I’ve ever experienced and up until now, it remains incredibly strong.
“With each day and every new location I arrive to here on this trek, but even so, the contrasting lifestyle factors can’t be overlooked. And they’ve been there since day one. They were just ignored.”
Hindi man niya direktang sinabi na ngunit tila sinagot rin ni Wil Dasovich ang mga intrigang ibinato sa kanya matapos ang kumpirmasyon ni Alodia.
“You know, everyone can say what they want about all that’s transpired. They can criticize my actions, efforts, lifestyle leading up to this and who I am as an overall individual if they want to take it that far. They can even make up outlandish stories and bring in other people into this adventure that had nothing to do with it. All just for their silly entertainment.
“Ultimately, it’s all irrelevant to me because I know myself and I don’t need any form of exterior validation, especially those from strangers. The important thing is, I believe deep in my heart that I gave it my all down towards the end. And even the Himalayas up until the end provided our last days together with as much sun as possible.”
Ikinuwento rin ni Wil ang tila dahilan kung bakit hindi na nila kinaya pa na umabot sa dulo ngunit kahit na ganoon ay worth it pa rin ang lahat ng kanyang pinagdaanan.
“It’s a tough pill to swallow but there are just some things that are out of your control. Even though it was sunny, there were other aspects like the weather, the timing, the amount of wind that passed by on that given day. If the wind is too strong then the helicopter can’t land and you aren’t allowed to hike any further.
“There were a lot of differences going into this. The likelihood of making it into the end was slim and the odds were always stacked against us having that final photo finish at the summit.
“And what about the pain you might experience? Why even try in the first place? Going into something like this,I conclude that you shouldn’t anticipate the pain.
“Even if you don’t end up reaching the destination, it’s better to have walked the journey and lived it rather than never experiencing it at all. Because then you might be left wondering forever.”
Habang binabalikan niya ang mga pinagdaanan, dito ay sinabi ni Wil na wala na siyang ibang choice kung hindi tanggapin ang lahat ng nangyayari at kung bakit kinakailangan niya ng oras para sa sarili upang maintindihan ang mga nangyari.
“The journey is something you grow from, something you learn from and come out a stronger individual. Nothing was in vain. Although it comes with moments of anguish, I can confidently say that this was the most beautiful trip of my life.
“I came into this with an open heart and the drive to succeed. I just didn’t really understand what the journey entailed when I signed up and I guess you can say I wasn’t fully prepared.
“I fell in love with everything about the Everest experience from the very beginning. And although I may not have made it to the end, maybe I’ll try again in the future with a different approach and a different time, following a period of self-growth.
“For now, it just wasn’t meant to be. And it’s time to let the wounds heal. And the easiest way to do that is privately without consistently being bombarded with unsolicited advice.”
Sa huli ay nagbigay siya ng mensahe sa Mt. Everest bagay na pinaniniwalaan ng mga netizens na mensahe niya para sa dating kasintahan.
“You are the most beautiful mountain in the world and it’s hard to imagine coming across anything like you ever again. You really are something special and up until now the fire is still burning.
“Even if there may no longer be a purpose for that burning fire, it still burns nonetheless… No matter what, I’ll always hold on to these memories and it will be cherished until the very end.
“I’m sad that it’s over but I’m happier knowing that at least it happened. Thank you for everything.”
