Journey

Every once in a while, I make sure to have at least one or two-week vacation, together with my favorite travel buddy, my husband, we conquer the world and make the most out of those precious moments we have. Away from the pressures and stress brought by our busy schedules, we savor every single minute that we are together and think of nothing but on how we are going to spend the rest of the day.

Going out on a trip gives us a certain form of relaxation, it also allows us to discover the wonders of the places we have visited, and the stories of the people we have met. But more than that, going out once in a while, allows us to rediscover ourselves, a chance to look back and examine our past decisions in life.

It’s like finding your old self in a new and totally different place. Amidst the beautiful sceneries, the quiet times you have, and the people you came across with, is a chance to commune with yourself and evaluate your life.

It feels good to slow down a little and let yourself appreciate the beauty of life.
