O.T. Part XIV: Ang lalaking ihi lang ang pahinga

Working in Makati doesn't mean I'm big-time, it just means I have no-time for anything else.

---------

The road less travelled is a difficult and lonely path. Whoever strays away from what is accepted as normal should be prepared to be laughed at, shunned away, scorned upon. But those that laugh are insignificant, they haven't the strength nor courage to find their own way. What they do is normal and accepted, and most probably being done by everyone else already. Normal is synonymous to average is synonymous to commonplace.
Then there are those that lead, inspire, and find their own way in this sea of uncertainties. Travelling alone, lonely, battered, exhausted. Then to find an uninhabited island, to claim it as his own, to make it a paradise of his own design.
These are the people that we now come in droves to, dressed up all clean and spiffy, and clamor to be part of their company. All the while thinking it might also happen to us, but won't.
