Hard Reset

Went away for few days, to get some air. Felt like everything’s suffocating, its making me breathless. Its been a while since I went on a trip on my own, my energy level is completely drained already, so I am justifying that, I kinda deserve this sweet escape.

As I was contemplating on so many things about life and how its toxicities is just so tiring, while I was sitting comfortably in a nice coffee shop, drinking a perfectly brewed Americano paired with a really good cheesecake, I realized how I tend to neglect how privileged I am.

Kung pagod na, pwde lang umalis, para magdestress

Not all people can do that. Yung iba, kahit pagod na sila, hindi sila makaalis, hindi sila pwdeng magbakasyon.

Ano karapatan ko magreklamo sa konting discomfort na nararamdaman ko dba?

This is not to invalidate my exhaustion about life and stuff. But this is me, reminding my spoiled alter ego, to look closely and be more appreciative of the things na dati ay pinapangarap ko lang.

Going on a trip is a form of self-care. It also allows me to take a step back, to look at the bigger picture in a different perspective.

Wait lang. Time-out muna.

Tapos, restart ka. Laban ulit. ☕️
