i was listening to
sound's bossamanila when there came a guitar solo that reminded me of dolf. so i texted him and took my chances that he would reply. and surprise surprise...he did! he's now a trainer for ICT, a call center based in rcbc. a building oh so familiar to both of us.
after the texting session, i remembered our time together. and then i thought about where he is now with his life. and i kinda felt sad. because when i knew him, he was a free spirit. he played his guitar and made beautiful jazz music. now i don't know if he's still making music but the last i heard, he was selling his amps and wahwahs. and i think he even sold his guitar! he's become a part of the hustle and bustle of the corporate world. sucked into the call center dimension.
and i can't help but that think that maybe, he's lost himself.
sometimes, sacrificing your passion means living a comfortable life. but it could also leave you lifeless.
i wish all the best for dolf. his music and life touched me.
