I call life a book of memories because what is life without memories. A good book has good memories and also bad memories, and so do we. And memories are made through new experiences.
You fall in love with someone, you will remember the feeling for your whole life even when the person isn’t around.Why? Because the memory that stuck with you of that person wasn’t because of that person but because of the feeling you experienced. Same way when someone leaves you, you don’t miss the person but the things you did with that person, may that be talking on the terrace or going for long walks or even looking at them while they sleep.
The things we experience in life are the base of all the memories we are left with in the end.
My life has always been about having fun and doing new challenging things so that I have a lot of things to remember before I close my eyes forever and to always have stories to tell people.
Best way to make new memories as well as having fun is travelling. So I planned a solo trip, in which I could have fun as well spend time with myself and adapt. Why? Because of a simple theory that I feel is true, from birth till our death, there is only one person with us 24/7 and doesnb’t leave us even for a single second, that is we ourselves. And if we don’t adapt to ourselves how can we expect to have a good relationship with someone and expecting them to adapt to us.
It’s possible that many of you disagree with me on this and that’s totally fine.
I spent 4 days away from my family and friends. Alone in a city full of strangers. No boundations, nothing to worry about, just me. I felt many things like happiness, peace, guilt, regret, anger maybe because I was running from many things in my head and ignoring their existence and not wanting to deal with them. That time alone with myself, away from everyone I love after so long I was only focusing on myself.
I have started experiencing different things to fill my book and also collecting many small stories to tell everyone. Everything that comes will have it’s share of pros and cons, the earlier you learn to deal with them,the earlier you will have everything in control.
