belated thoughts on independence
sorry. post is late by two days.
flags are flying though not everyone feels patriotic while waving it.
independence. emancipation. my corporate closet.
im reminded of the movie milk. that part where he wante everybody to come out and shout it out. and you could see the pain in the faces of some of his supporters who haven't reached that point. i was quite uneasy watching it. why did he feel he needed to do that?
i may be in the closet, but i dont feel imprisoned. i dont feel i miss out on anything just because im not out... in the workplace. i have not made any compromises just because of my choices. i never went as far as to conjure up a fiance in canada just to keep the closet tightly shut. i go where i want and hang out with people i choose, unafraid of the association.
ultimately...
Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage.

i got to download this movie dahil akala ko hindi siya ipapalabas sa pinas by late december. after watching it- i wanted to come out...pero wala eh.
i dont think i need to OUT myself na. :-p
closeted in the workplace. wish i had that kind of life. to think that may pagka-uzi ang mga pinoy.
that scene made me cringe, actually. but that didn't make me like the movie any less.
may narinig ka bang straight na nagsabi: "i'm coming out, i'm straight!"
-not out in the workplace too..iba pa rin ang setting sa corporate world..people here are not yet that open minded..one friend (who knows) insists that i should "come out" and declare it to the whole world so that i may be happy..but then, im already happy where i am..my family knows, my close friends know, why declare to the whole world who doesn't care about me anyway? they are not entitled to my truth..twistedhalo
yeah the film gets you all pink and proud. thanks herbs
you wish you were in the closet, m_m???
hahaha, good point, narnian. well, it happens to be their world pa rin
hello anonymous one. i recall a biblical passage. you dont take your pearls and give it to the pigs (or something like that...)
