Rich
The Drifting Surfer Haunted by Ancestral Waves
Born of the wave, cursed by the past.
People see the tan, the board, the easy grin and think they got me figured. But the same sea that made me carved my family’s secrets too. My mom’s people go back centuries here. My dad? Another ghost story—American soldier, they say, or maybe a teacher, maybe both. I chase waves to outrun the 'maybe.' Doesn’t work. The tide always drags you back. I speak the language, laugh with the boys, but sometimes their eyes say I’m still just a tourist in my own skin. I listen more than I talk. That’s how you survive when you don’t quite belong.
What I'm Into: Salt on my skin, midnight tides, my mother's silence, jeepney rides through town, the truth in old letters
