Hello, I guess from me, hoping it will be from you who willingly read the, maybe not the stories but thoughts of mine. As you can see, let me confess for a little bit ‘coz you know I feel like I’m wanting to talk to someone. Well, these few days I’m not okay, maybe from thinking thoroughly or maybe from the exhaustion that stresses me out. Not totally about physical matters, my emotions were kind of unstable for no definite reasons. So yeah, I felt suffocated from my own thoughts and that’s the reason I felt like I wanted to be in that place. A place where my heart is totally free and happy, because whenever I felt like being lost. There is only one place that will ever be in my mind, and that is HOME.
Yes, it has not been long since I was home but I don’t know, it feels like forever. Maybe because the feeling of loneliness, escape, worries and all negative thoughts were chasing me. I’ve been wanting to go but I did not, knowing I have many responsibilities and obligations. I was outside the house to loosen a bit of my shoulder like it felt like drowning me. It didn’t work, I was stuck in a room with my own understanding. Yes, it’s kind of sad because it gets worse as the night passes when I just wanted to sleep to end the thinking.
And there is that festive, yes, our Brgy. Sta. Cruz celebrates yearly its anniversary including its festival. That reason encouraged me to go home and maybe a reason to leave my obligations where I’m currently staying as a married man. I asked permission from my wife of course. Then finally, just starting my journey to go home cleared my mind already. Yes, excited, obviously, knowing I could be home at last and to celebrate the festival with my family - nothing could make me happier that time.
Then there’s that shore whom I’d love to visit always when I’m home. The view is always superb, it never tires me even doing nothing. Expectedly, there are people always enjoying the beauty of the sea, its calmness and environment. I stayed there for a long time just sitting, playing on my mobile phone for a short time and then sightseeing all the time. Amazing. Without delay, the negativity in me faded like dust in the wind.
Of course not just a single place that I visited or stayed. I took a stroll in our Brgy. at first. I missed the feeling of walking around in our Brgy. The houses that changed already and the corner that never existed and maybe the people I’ve known were never there outside their houses. I didn’t know the reasons but only the people who don’t leave home could answer for sure.
Afternoon came by and the sea was getting lower. Yes, it looks like the coastal areas have dried. The green and yellow seaweeds were showing up. Yes, most of my visits were at sea so since the sea was dry why not explore it instead.
When I was at home, yes, my single days or maybe younger me - I always found myself here. Searching food alone and sometimes with friends, eating together with sea urchins. There were times with my family as well but when they were my companions we often caught fish through fishing nets and fishing hooks.
However, I noticed only a few people were here at sea searching for seashells and sea urchins. It’s obvious that it’s getting fewer people here because I saw birds were not that afraid of people. Maybe because of these giant jackstones here that destroyed the stones and corals. People thought that the sea here was not rich unlike before. We couldn’t blame those people since they might be right as I walked through here.
Yes, that’s how my walk went but I think I said much already without mentioning how beautiful the Macrohon Plaza is right now. In my next post I will be talking only about that place and how it became wonderful. So yeah, it felt amazing but Bye for now.
Thank you for reading

Paul was born in Macrohon, Southern Leyte but currently living in Cahayag, San Francisco Southern Leyte. He graduated the course of a BS Mar-E or Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering in 2019. Although writing is his passion so instead of sailing he decided on writing.
He writes occasionally about random stuff he would see in the outside world. He loves to express what he feels through writing because he's not good at speaking personally.
He also writes fictional stories and emotions because he thinks life matters. He is hoping that his words could reach someone who might be feeling down.
