I remembered lurking in the shadows around 4am one morning talking and chatting to people on the phone while I am enroute to Arthur's Seat. I did have one of the most exciting walk of my life, pulled myself out of my bed after days, and just walked to get over it. Arthur's seat will always be my favorite in Edinburgh, my version of "One Day", and the heart that will keep me breathing (in EDI).
I am not yet halfway February and I can feel how unfair this month has become. I am not sure why so many challenges are piled up immediately, just 9 days since this month started. February is incarcerating me and the injustice is too much to bear. To weed out my stressors for this month, I look back to this mountain to remind me again that I deserve a breather, I do not deserve the stress, and that I am better than this weakness. I hope this travel I am in will be full of life, just like Arthur's Seat. I can't wait for February to end, just so I can welcome my most favorite month of the year. One blog per month.
I am writing under the influence of a Bueno hazelnut ferrero bar(if that is even possible), and I am doing so just to put in the blogosphere that nothing changed, really. Such a case is stated within the purview of my happiness, where everything related to my eudaimonia has not gone beyond "ok lang", and the weather is not helping. It's freezing cold here. Although not really something to divulge in a "Travel Blog", but my life's plot twists usually jumpstart every January. January has not been a kind month, but realizing now that I did have quite a few memories to remember for January actually changes my perception of this scary first month every year. This year's January had its up's and down's. The "ups" are related with life decisions, the "downs" are all related with academe and family. Although, anything related to both topics had both ends of the reality radar, I am still very positive of this year's January because of the following resolutions that I did for this precarious month: (1) I engaged in a healthier discussion with people and it made me sane. (2) I let go and clarified life issues that were so overdue for discussion, and (3) I tried to be happier again, and that was quite uncommon these past few months. I also went back to the cold country that others have been so excited to visit, I mean seriously happy about the places I've been to because of studying, but January also made me realize that nothing is as beautiful as going back to your homeland. Nothing I would like to remember too much about moving and traveling again since I traveled alone with travel delays that made me scared than ever. I am not keen to "solo travels". It will always be scary for me. Not really something to blog too, but a few days ago, LCC saw an abandoned / lost dog that was immediately brought to the vet to be checked for her skin problems. I am so happy he saw it. It was devastating to see the dog recuperate from the itchy wounds she is suffering to right now, but at the end of the day, we are all hoping she heals soonest so she can go to her family immediately. I am just happier now that January has actually led a dog to LCC's care and soon, to a family who will love her. I am hoping February will be fair. (No photos for this blog, just text. Will put on some fantastic photos, if I can, soon.) |
