booster shot

I was being a little vain and searched my name on Google (we all do that, admit it).

I found an article of mine, written almost a decade ago:

www.upm.edu.ph/manilakule/Webby_2k2/opinion/SMall_Price.htm

I can't help but smile. Young as I was, I actually had...opinions. Sometimes spot on, other times misplaced. But correctness doesn't matter much in retrospect - my Kule friends and I often laugh when we recall the things we'd written way back when. But I'm glad I had thoughts like these. Happy knowing I could believe with all my heart that my thoughts, the complex jumble in my head, actually had relevance. Happier that I had an avenue to express them.

There are moments when you feel truly, truly alive. Like you've been suddenly injected with with a potent dosage of life. Writing used to be that for me.
