yearning at the train station, i feel so chingbee rn.
โonce, i saw you on the other side of the tracks. but it was too lateโthe train had come, erasing you in one swift motion.โ
anybody who says "erm well being really political is a sign of privilege actually ๐ฅบ" is just deflecting their middle class guilt. it's so thoroughly liberal, along the lines of "huhu napagod na kami mag-educate"
Language has always been my sanctuary and words are the faithful companions of my soul. I could capture the storm and even the ache of time BUT in your presence... the writer in me falls silent. COMPLETELY MUTE.
I am what I believe myself to be and what I believe is the shape of who I am. What I know within myself is my truth and what is true within me is real.

translated by danton remoto
โa revolution has to be bloody, not because of those who seek justice but because of the cruelty of the enemies of change.โ
