Blinding, Walking

Mood: good
Now Playing: ocean avenue, yellowcard

So i'm slated to go for this autism walk a few hours from now, and dunno. It feels like Christmas. Y'know that awful yet warm feeling you get when you feel that what you're doing is going to help someone. Sheesh. I feel like curling up to die in my own vat of cheesiness. Srsly.

Anyway i'm posting here to remind the future me of a few things. Today, i was at this fx, right? Nothing unusual with me at the back sitting quietly. Then suddenly, this barker helps out from another fx a bald, chubby man with a yellow shirt. Nothing strange with that, still, eh? But the thing is, the next moment, this bald and chubby man reaches inside his bag and pulls out a collapsible cane. Y'know, the one that collapses into a a smaller version of itself.

Now the barker helps into the vehicle the bald and chubby man into the middle set of seats. Immediately, the atmosphere changed around the fx. I could feel the other passengers exchanging looks with each other, like saying is this for real? And i think the question that was on a lot of people's minds was that how will he ever get off or how will he pay his fare and stuff.

... i think i've said it before. Human processes amaze me, and this moment didn't fail me in the slightest. He'd text and call someone using keypads with sound. He'd place the phone directly in his ear and keep on pressing and pressing until he's found what he was looking for. He'd rummage in his bag, and you could clearly see that he keeps his money in separate packets, so that he knows exactly how much he has to pay. Frankly, it's amazing. I've never seen him around before, but from the eavesdropping in his phone conversation, it seems he's from somewhere up north and he works as a therapist. Y'know, like a manghihilot or something.

Yeah. You never know when you'll get inspiration from, do we?

About the autism walk, wala lang. I've felt a lot closer to that little thing i call a conscience inside of me, and i feel like i've tugged my heartstrings for a long long time already. Nuff said.
