“Don’t you find it odd,” she continued, “that when you’re a kid, everyone, all the world, encourages you to follow your dreams. But when you’re older, somehow they act offended if you even try.”
― Ethan Hawke, The Hottest State
When we were young, we all had dreams— grand aspirations, sometimes even impossible ones, yet something we thought was easily achievable back then.
But then reality strikes. As we grow older, gain more responsibilities, get caught up in our careers, we sometimes lose our sense of direction and forget the reason why we’ve been working hard in the first place.
We forget our dreams.
“Follow your dreams. I am not saying it’s going to be easy, but I am saying it’s going to be worth it.”
With all the distractions in the urban concrete jungle of Manila, its hard to find a place where you can relax, re-evaluate your life and think about the things that matter most– and even harder to find one that you can call your HOME– even albeit a temporary one.
