Young soul, job is not a dream.

-

When I was a young girl, an old woman asked me what's my dream or what do I want to become. I told her, "I want to be a doctor". She smiled, then pat my hair and told me to "make it happen". In that moment, I know I was accepted because of my dream—the thing I want to live for my entire life. The dream that I want to spent my entire earth hours with.

But growing up, I know there's something wrong. I started asking myself, "Did I just get accepted because of the illusion in my head?", "Will they still love me if I'm undecided?" "Will they treat me like this if I happen to say I didn't have a dream?". Those questions haunt me. Then, I felt a sudden jolt in my jaws, and in my cold whisper, I've heard myself telling me, "They want you to be like them and they're using you to spread the same stupidity".

The whole concept of dream, as what was being told to us, was flawed. No, fucking your life over a job isn't a dream. It's an illusion incompetent people told you so you they could convince you to work for them.

Just yesterday I asked mom, " Why is it that people see jobs as dreams? Do they know what kind of hypocrisy is that?". I know I may get her pissed off but my point is just right. Then, she just ignored me and told me ,"What kind of thinking is that?". With an aching tooth, I can't talk well but I know what I'm saying.

People are not born to be manipulated to work from 9 to 6 or even more just to get paid and earn and earn. People are meant to live as free as possible. And to be honest, you are not here to work and die. You shouldn't let yourself make that job a dream because I tell you, that job won't make you happy. A dream isn't something you are dying to have. A dream is within you. You are the one to decide what kind of life you want to have and yes, I refuse to have those silly dreams old people told us to "make sure to happen".

You know what's a dream? Dreams mean going places and meeting new people. Loving, travelling, eating, laughing, singing, making music, believing, smiling, and having a sense of contentment. These things don't worth much. They're within us. Money can't buy us happiness and that's what my point is. You are not placed on Earth to be mind-controlled and do whatever they want you to do. If something made your curiosity on fleek, then look for it. Love who you are, love your craft and love those people you love even those people didn't know how to love you back. Give more, talk less, understand more and judge no one.  Do no harm but take no shit.

Trust me, I've Iearned this the hard way.

A Fairy Song Analysis by William Shakespeare

A Fairy Song William Shakespeare Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier, Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire! I do wander everywhere, Swifter than the moon's sphere; And I serve the Fairy Queen, To dew her orbs upon the green; The cowslips tall her pensioners be; In their gold coats spots you see; Those be rubies, fairy favours; In those freckles live their savours; I must go seek some dewdrops here, And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.

Liham mula kay Soledad para sa aking ika-18

Araw rin 'to ng mga mangagawa. Mayo Uno. Dapat, nasa lansangan tayo para makiisa sa pagtatanggal ng endo. Per Kulangot. Kahit kailan, hindi kita nirespeto bilang EIC o mas nakatatalino dahil mas mataas ka ng rank sa'kin kasi, para sa'kin, hindi ikaw ang Chritine na iginagalang ng marami. Ikaw ang Chritine na naamoy ko ang lahat ng baho at siyempre, nakidungis din sa putik mo sa mukha. Ikaw 'yung kulangot na ipinahid na sa pader, aba, sumasama pa rin sa daliri. Ikaw 'yung tae sa banyo na ayaw lumubog kasi, ewan, tinubol ata ako no'n. Ikaw 'yung ingrown sa kuko na kahit ilang beses ipalinis, matindi, tumutubo pa ring lintik ka. Ikaw 'yung...kahit gano'n lang ang tingin sa sarili, tinuring kong mahalagang bahagi ng araw-araw ko. At 18 ka na, so, legal ka na. Magtino na tayo sa pagtawid. Baka masita tayo ng J-Walking. Mahirap nang matulog sa presinto. Mahal kita. 'Lam mo 'yan.  God bless. P.S. Surprise mo naman ako sa debut ko. Biro lang.

 Pangalawang gabi ng hindi natin pag-uusap Masakit. Sinasanay mo na yata akong mag-isa Sa kagandahan ng buwan kanina, ikaw ang nasa hinagap Magiging mas kabigha-bighani siguro kung nandyan ka Kung katulad ng dati, ay nasasabihan ka Kung gaano kaakit-akit ang mga bagay sa pagitan man ng ilang milya Pero, malayo ka na Mas malayo pa sa Laguna--kung saan ka nakatira Mas malayo pa siguro sa pagitan ko at ng mga tala kanina Hindi ko na alam kung ni ang panaginip ko ay maaabot ka pa Alam mo, natatakot na ko Kasi, nababatid ko na ang tuluyan mong paglaho Habang natutulog ka nang mahimbing, sana Sana maipahinga ko rin ang mga mata ko katulad mo Sana naipapahinga ko rin ang isip, Sana naipapahinga ko rin ang puso ko Sana umaga na Sana sumikat na ang umaga, ulit Kasi sa umaga ko nalang nararamdaman ang kapayapaan  ng puso, isip, at diwa. Umaga ko nalang nararamdaman ang pag-ibig na sana ay maibalik pa Tatlong araw ko nang pinagsisihan ang mga salita Na nasambit ng nanginginig na labi sa ...
