Cerulean Dreams and Summer Sands: Travel To Heal



Travel to Heal. 



This has been my vow this summer. I had been subjected to a lot of mental and emotional stress lately. The constant pull of the tides and the pressure of a lot of factors pulled me down and me think twice of my capabilities as a person, as a blogger, and as a creative individual. 



This post is somewhat a personal one since I had been undergoing a hiatus on my creativeness. Like a person in love and has been hurt in the process, I had been diverting my strengths and energies to something that is worth doing. 


I have been subjected to pains and undue stress, both in love and in life. What I thought was my all became my almost. He is nothing but a bunch of complicated mess that had been inducing indirect fatal stress. I woke up realizing that I do not know this person anymore, like everything has been a blur. I could not comprehend why I even took the time to consider this person to invade my private circle. He did everything to break the walls I have built for myself. And in doing so, I invited that person to take a look inside my heart and my world. Everything shattered when I realize that we both played a game of feelings. I had let my guard down, and everything else failed. I became a shock absorber of his failures, and his mishaps. I became his excuse of being able to survive the harsh daily grind. Later on, I found out that he is the opportunist and cunning type. So, gathering strength, I told him point blank how I do not understand this and is not playing my part on his games. I ended the "once perfect" relationship that I had thought would be the last. And I was so wrong. I had been blinded all the while. Anyway, the break up was not even a smooth one when the other party is in denial. Yes, the guy was stupid enough not to get over with it. And a stubborn one at that. 

I had started to get out of my comfort zone and enjoy my weekends with friends since I know that the best way to heal a disappointed soul and a broken heart is through friends. I have been leaving my friends behind and I need to make sure that I spend the best of my days with them. Traveling to HEAL has been a great way to deal with feelings of discontentment and failure. The best places to heal are mostly non planned getaways. 

So I am making sure my summer is worthwhile without undue stress and also, see to it that I had rejuvenated myself and became energized with my friends. I had listed below tips on how to Travel To Heal and maximize Summer without the guilt:

1. Follow your heart. Craft travels without getting too mainstream. Opt outside and explore. 

2. Get connections flowing! Open up. Speak up. Make new friends and cherish old ones.

3. Be REAL. Avoid plastic and unrealistic comments. Be frank but make sure it is truthful. 


Have you tried being a messy relationship? What actions have you done to make sure that it won't drag you down to negativity?

Let me know :) I'd like to hear you out. :)

Getting Hurt And Moving On

Imahe
Sometimes, being at tip-top shape even if you are not feeling well is one of the best deceiving effort one can pull even at the most trying times. Being hurt by the one you love can leave unexplained pain and suffering to your being. It is also a blow to your ego, whether you admit it or not.  Loving someone can take you to different heights, and yes, it can either make or break your personality. Loving entails big risks, and it entails sleepless nights with buckets of tears. Yes, it turns you into a mushy being. And yes, loving someone entails acceptance.  SO how do I move on? That's a question that I actually found a bit challenging to be fair. There are a lot of ways to actually move on from that loving feeling, or the feeling of being in love. It depends on what I wanted to be after the feeling of not being able to cope. To be honest, the pandemic might have added undue stress but still, this is nothing compared to someone who had been led on and left...

Finding Love All Over Again at the Sands

Imahe
When love hits you hard, it will really stay for good. Or so they say.  I never thought that at this time, I will be writing about something that I dreaded to talk about for the longest time,  and that is, being in the state of being in love and loved in return. It is a sad thing that most of the time, people tend to underestimate the power of being loved back, due to the powerful and unabashed effect of love to most individuals. I am, as a matter of fact, one of its unsuspecting victims.  I fell in love with someone I never really had expected to be in love with. Against all odds and against all reason and doubt, this guy had the guts to really catch my attention and my discerning eye. Fate played a very tricky role this time. Been there, done that. Better without them. That has always been my motto. But, as sure as the tides and the waves and as endless as the sands of time, I am again subjected to this emotion of loving someone and being loved in return. I nev...

To The One In The Shadows

Imahe
Dear Someone In The Shadows, First of all, I didn't know why I am writing this first and foremost. You were not someone I would definitely spend my day with. You are someone my exact opposite. You were highly creative, I was just average. You are a musician, I am just someone who is a music enthusiast. You paint, I word weave. I am a carnivore, you are a herbivore. I am a coffee addict, while you have an affinity for natural leaves as tea. I think the only thing that bind us are these: Our love for Nature, for music, for anything creative. I know you hate working on things that entail grammar and word play in English, I know you do. You always remind me to be my true self. You always keep reminding me that all things in life are free, and we should be able to take the flow of life. You always remind me that life goes on and on. It is a cycle.  I am writing you this because I do not know why on earth and in the heavens did I ever saw you in a different light. I am not say...
