Kung sana dati pa ako umattend ng event... Pero hindi rin, ayos na din sigurong ngayon-ngayon lang kita napanuod baka by now ilang months na akong natotorture ng infatuation/admiration. Mahirap yun.

Tama ka, lahat nga dapat naglalabas ng sama ng loob, ng kalungkutan, ng kasiyahan, ng mga naiisip, ng mga karanasan. Yun naman ang pinaka purpose ng communication, to express. Binigyan nga tayo ng boses para magsalita, ng talento para nga naman i-express. Pero paano kung nahihiya ka? Paano kung gusto mo ngang mag express kaso may mga bagay na pumipigil sayo? Ang hirap magtagalog, nose bleed.

What if you have so much ideas and there are so many things you want to share but people around you do not want to listen. Or if they listen, that is with prejudice, all that will come out of your mouth will then sound nonsensical, pointless. I think I know your answer, it would be that if you want to express then be prepared for criticism. Be prepared to express some more, right? Express that anger. In a world that is full of vile people, all you need is a voice armed with a mind.

I live for literature. I live for writing, for expressing through letters and words and poems and short stories and essays and my blog. Since gradeschool I have always wanted to write though I know that my skills are mediocre. But yes, I would have to agree with you that there is that need to release what is inside. One can never count the diary entries I have written, my first livejournal and blogspot account. This very blog has been around for more than 5 years.

When I was in highschool, all I wanted to do is write for a magazine. I have all these ideas and I picture myself being an editor-in-chief of some sassy magazine. That was my biggest dream. However, when I entered College and decided to take up A.B. Literature and Literacy I found a better way to express. I found so much happiness in reading Ivan Turgenev's "First Love," in Shakespeare and Petrarch's poems, in Ophelia Dimalanta's narrative poems, in composing lyrics for songs, in writing free verse, in listening to fellow classmates, in reading Rilke, and admiring Gabriel Garcia Marquez, in reading societal problems and issues hidden in the beautiful novels of Arudhati Roy, Jhumpa Lahiri, Gish Jen. In discovering the fascinating themes of short stories by Bienvenido Santos and Haruki Murakami and Guy de Maupassant. In the power of literature to expose truths such as the Satanic Verses by Rushdie. In the power of literature to make one nauseas with love through Pablo Neruda's poems, Christopher Marlowe, Sir Walter Raleigh, Ben Jonson; to scare such as short stories of Edgar Allan Poe; to surpise such as that of Greene's; its power to stoke revolution such as Marx's and Hegel's writings; to entertain and express above all.

And yes like all of them,you have the ability to inspire.
