solo.

with all the feeling of freedom,

i realized even more,

people asking about my solo travel habit.

as if it was something so out of this world,

or look at me with concerned expressions.

i mean,

seriously?

i am a little peculiar,

i am an extra introvert,

yes and proud of it.

that doesn't translate to the need,

to have a less than positive outlook.

perhaps it's hard for a lot to comprehend,

it is sometimes best to be alone.

than complain over this and that.

maybe better then,

if all one does is to have a negative say.

it's about time to reevaluate themselves,

to look internally before blaming the world.

also to never ever feel above the rest.

i say this a lot:

we have to coexist.

whether one might like it or not.

constant compromise,

minimized when solo.

see the big picture already?

im not good with giving in,

im not good with fair,

im not good with a crowd.

everything comes with consequence.

basic cause and effect,

therefore solo,

is always my preferred.

better.

it is always this delicate feeling,

traveling solo.

in solidarity,

and of freedom.

simple happiness.

this world sometimes feels tiny,

just a couple of flights.

poof i’m here and there,

an alternate life that’s so different.

of course always trying to be as localised.

keeping it simple,

waking up early.

keeping it healthy,

eating clean.

like having a whole other life.

better.

slowing and stopping,

noticing the smallest things,

feeling grateful of it all.

the beauty of doing nothing,

and that’s alright here.

although much humbler,

less eventful,

perhaps more boring,

i find peace.

such an awesome feeling.

better.

Words by Meryl L. Streep.

“I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me.

I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.”

Word for word I totally share the same sentiments. Don't usually quote others' like this but I just felt like I have to keep this here, to not lost track of it. I am sure to come back every once in a while to re-read it. Living it by, and glad with it.

ha.

happy music,
i say that a lot.
but what is it actually eh?

what defines a song that makes me dance?
is it really in fact made to be a cheerful one?

haha.
hahaha.
ha.

a little more room.

they came,

as fast as speed of light.

the undoubted chemistry,

arrived uninvited.

unexpected yet nice.

they both,

believed utterly.

some might call it reckless,

they called it life necessity.

to feel most alive.

but the world,

or a few particular,

stripped and destroyed both.

young hope were robbed,

fear came kicking in.

it is not easy,

for the two equally hard.

it might feel a tad late,

why now?

and not then?

the universe has its reasons,

no one can never fathom.

as terrified.

but all both can do,

is to have faith in each other.

to not coward before nothing.

easy can never be promised,

crash and burn happen.

whether to soar, 
or burnt and burried.

dig in,

for that last ounce of faith,

that last chance of hope.

for a little more room for love.
