The Gentle Life

a lot of us want to live a gentle life, pero nahihirapan tayong maging gentle sa sarili natin. siguro it's because we're naturally the nurturers - we care when the others (the boys) take things for granted, we pay attention to details that others miss. and siguro rin it's because everything we do is personal - it has our signature. pero i realized na if we want to live a gentle life, we need to start being forgiving and gentle to ourselves. in a world na palaging "push push push" - a world patterned after aggression thanks to this patriarchal state - the most radical thing you can ever be in this world is kind, starting with kindness to yourself. kasi if you have no kindness and gentleness sa sarili mo, how can we give softness and kindness to others po, diba? just a thought. magandang hapon po. :)
