Sometimes work seems to occupy your mind even at your sleep. You are too tensed during the day trying to work on a deadline and a good old cup of coffee is your only companion. You might be too stressed out that giving up or resigning seems to be a great escape. Our city is very congested. You would like to go out and party just to relax your nerves. But to your dismay, all you get are headaches and an empty wallet. All of a sudden you thought of something, the white sand, the beautiful waves, you can almost smell the salty breeze of the sea. That's it. Your paradise. The clock seems to be ticking faster these days and work seems to preoccupy everyone. There is so much demand from us that we forget that we are human. We forget that our batteries go low and human chargers are not cheap. It's funny how we spend so much time making money and forget that we cannot use our wealth if we are already dying or worse, dead. We hesitate to have a vacation. Thinking about it will just be too expensive and impractical. We postpone it as often as we can, because something always comes up. We have to break free from our daily routines every now and then. Giving ourselves a little legroom once in while is something we have to do. It is only righteous to give our bodies, minds and spirit enough time to rejuvenate. Go out but not to clubs, fancy restaurants, and shopping malls. They will just get you drunk, fat, tired and penniless. Go out back to nature, back to where there is tranquility and serenity. Travel the world. See places you've never been to. Watch the sun set from the other side of the world. It will be all worth it. Laugh your heart out. Be like a child again and for that moment, forget your responsibilities at work. Feel the freedom like you have just been released out of prison. Jump for joy. Try to go as high as you can. Dive in and see the fishes under the sea. Play with the dolphins and sea lions. Watch the alligators and crocodiles eat their meals. Say hi to the monkeys and parrots and to all the creepy little creatures. Go horseback riding by the seashore. Go trekking, mountain biking or rappelling. You can even try bungee jumping. Feel like you're part of the amazing race and do something wild. Ask people around for new and old attractions. Hype up. You'll get positive energy from positive activities. There is so much to see and so many places to go. It doesn't have to be a difficult decision. It just has to be filled with passion and anticipation. You will never regret going on a vacation. It will always bring a smile to your face. It will always bring precious memories and unfathomable happiness. Experience the wonders of the world and capture its soul. Never let go without leaving your mark. |
