You stand at that fragile intersection where desire splits in two-one path paved with love, the other with becoming. And like all who are cursed with vision, you understand that to take one is to betray the other.
So you chose.
Love is no innocent thing. It asks for presence, for stillness, for a kind of surrender that ambition finds intolerable.
Ambition is not a gentle thing, either. Hindi ito marahan-inuubos ka nito. Lagi nitong pinapaalala kung ano ang kulang sa'yo, hanggang sa maramdaman mo na ang pag-ibig ay parang pabigat na lang. And so you asked yourself the question that ruins all who dares to answer it:
Is love enough, when the soul demands more?
