Market / place
You have to be “marketable” and find your place. Clock it.
Nakakapanliit pakinggan, ano? What does it even mean to be marketable? Isa sa mga kasabihan o sabihin na nating pilosopiya na tumatak sa’kin ay ‘yong ano, “No free lunch.” Wala nga namang libre sa mundo. Everything has a price, even on a literal sense. There are people who tend to miss that fact, or at least dodge it. Paano? Privilege.
I would be lying kung sasabihin ko na I started writing here, on this specific platform out of passion. Not that passion isn’t a motivation for me, pero wala namang lugar ang passion sa kumakalam at walang laman na sikmura.

Market slash space, marketplace. Kahit wala nang space o slash. Tulad ng palengke, siksikan lahat. There’s no breathing room for people who are fighting for space. How ironic. Ironic??
We are taught to present ourselves on a certain manner, and yet, we can never ask why.
Nasaan nga ba ang space para sa mga taong allergic sa market? Survival of the fittest, that’s it. How fit are you willing to be, in order to gain a place within the market?
I won’t ask you to ponder. You can see for yourself. At least don’t forget to leave, all for the sake of living.
