irreplaceable
June 24, 2009You think this is about Beyonce’s hit song? Well, read on. Haha. It’s a cloudy Wednesday, and it’s John Lloyd Cruz’s birthday (posted my greeting for him over at my Tumblr), and I’m feeling sleepy because of the long day yesterday. But fun! I was with my college friends and it’s great to see them again and talk to them about different things. And yes, na-miss ko pang-aasar nila. Hehe. But I’ll try pouring my thoughts out as sane as I can. Haha.
I always appreciate commuting and walking alone, because it gives me time to appreciate things around me and at the same time, to just let ideas flow in my mind while in locomotion (I remember Ogie Diaz with this word, hehe). Yesterday I thought about the essence of an individual on my way to Ortigas for the meet-up. Back in college we read about Pope John Paul II’s essay in which premise speaks of the irreplaceability of the human person. Then I remembered what Michael Cera’s character in “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” said about us being the pieces that need to be brought back together. Adopting these ideas and incorporating them with mine, this is what I say:
We are the pieces, completely incomplete. But we are gifted - with talents, beliefs, experiences, close relations. There will always be something that we got that other people don’t (and maybe they won’t), and that’s what makes us special, and that’s what makes us irreplaceable not only to our own selves but also to the people we meet and to the universe in general. That’s why there would always be things that we can hold on to and things we’ll always be grateful for.
What are you grateful for? C’mon, there has to be something.
Okay, looking back to what I wrote I wonder where on the middle earth did I get those words? Maybe I’m just channeling the inspiration Paulo Coelho is giving. I’m currently reading him.

I am a cake with many layers,
a walking tortoise in a fast lane,
