thirst. (wikipedia) basic instinct of humans or animals to drink.
my.thirst. (mhelopedia) defined as my insatiable hunger, desire, longing, craving, or eagerness to be erudite, to experience and enjoy life's extremeties, to share kindness and love...
in short, i want to be COMPLETE. (erratum: im not paid by centrum for this)
i thirst for:
freedom --- the freedom to express myself without fear of judgement from others who think mightily of themselves.
learning --- to know everything there is to know so whenever my intelligent 4-yr. old Marcus would pop the magic and bizarre questions, i would be able torespond calmly without making a fool of myself.
harmony and tranquility --- gone were the days where young people go to school and study hard, were students go to the academia to eventually become successful and achieve their dreams. these days, a lot of young people go to school so their parents would give them their allowance for their vices --- endless computer gaming and internet and gmicking. we see a lot of youngsters today who even in their secondary education would proudly drop out of school to be free --- free to endlessly loiter (tambayang walang humpay) and to party nonstop. these youngsters mixed with the out-of-school youth (osy) who were either deprived of fair chances or chose to create their own havoc in life eventually becomes the society's pests. i long for the day when i can walk again the streets of metro manila in night time without fear of snatchers; when i can ride again the public transportation drowning myself in a peaceful sleep without fear of a hold-up. financial absoluteness --- so i don't have to worry about money for the bills, for the amortization, for the tuition fee, for the mechanic, for the grocery... so i can devote my time doing what i like and love and do best --- being a mother, a wife, a kin, a comrade, an educator, a student, a sales person, a facilitator, an organizer, a voracious reader... oh well, the list is endless.
share.my.thirst. read on and share my life.
