feeling time passing by

jed & kuya robinson, humans who knows how to feel time pass by.

philippines april 2025 - a calling to come back home.

before going on this trip I wasn't sure why i've had this calling to go back home this year, but I knew I just had to.

i've been finding it hard to answer when friends ask me how my trip was, i find myself not knowing what to say, at a blank, because words can't describe how transformative, full of growth and clarity it was. 

i just want to shake people around me, and say, "surely, there's more to life than this, and it's actually so simple?!"

I have this urge to just scream this profound understanding of what the point of life is and I can't go back pretending to live a life of race, being another cog on the wheel. 

i want to feeeeel time passing me by, watch the clouds go by like there is no time in the world. isn't time just a concept anyway?

i just want to experience life, isn't that the point of being human?

to watch the stars, the sun come back up and down, to nurture nature, be in harmony with other beings.

cause at the end of it all, what are we doing all this for anyway?

the constant progression, 'success', accolades, the achievements, the money, the car, the white picked fence house, the picture perfect shiny things, we keep wanting the next thing, more, more, more... for what?

what is it all for?

… if deep down our soul isn't nourished and we feel so empty?
