Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it? An old friendAn old dreamMy dream guitar. I remember when I first had it, it was all I ever wanted then.

I'd like a slow and long life

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life? I don’t mind taking things slow, in fact I love it. I don’t mind a slow moving career as long as it’s fulfilling and driven with purpose. That’s why I prefer the concept of a very long life, so that I would be able to take my time living, learning, and loving.

I should'ce set those boundaries

What could you do differently? I should’ve set those boundaries early on meeting people, this could’ve saved me from getting drained so much. I let people get too comfortable with disrespecting me because I always try to understand why they do those bad things, but I only ended up getting even more drained. Right now, I’m practicing drawing boundaries, I still love people the way I do, I just…

The Future

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? There is a lot to look forward to, a lot of people to meet, a lot of love to give away. I admit, before, that I used to be always stuck in the past, how things could’ve been better, I had a lot of regrets. But simply knowing that back then, I did my best with the purest intentions, I can now move forward freely. I know now that I…

My mentors, my enemies

Who are the biggest influences in your life? We can never be without both, mentors and enemies alike. But what I learned is that they may not have the best intentions for you at all times but they still helped you build your character. I’m thankful for them, I can never truly villainize my enemies but I respect them, our conflicts were made to shape us, and I will always wish them well. My…

Surviving

What are you doing this evening? Aren’t we all survivors of our own daily ordeals? The suffering we think its uncessesary but is actually needed for us to know we’re still living, for us to be motivated to keep moving, too much comfort can dangerously lead to an unambituous and meaningless life. So we keep on taking challenges, one by one, rest if we must, but we keep moving, that’s how we know…

Blues

What is your favorite genre of music? I love the blues, and all its other variations. Though, I like all genres in general, but there’s something about the blues, its tone, that gives you freedom to flow about its notes with your emotions, to play those strings in the guitar freely, as you want, and still can be music to the ears. Yes, the freedom, the freeform, that comes with the blues.
