Hometownless-ness

The full post can be found here.

"Placeless-ness." That's it. That's the word I've been looking for to describe how there doesn't seem to be a sense of belonging, as if in a hometown, anywhere I've been in the Metro; how my feet are eternally going, seemingly floating, to and fro, but never being able to plant them firmly on solid ground.

Except maybe inside the Diliman campus, which manages–even as it struggles–to retain its soul.
