“The antidote to exhaustion isn’t rest. It’s nature.”
— Shikoba
Are you feeling tired, drained, stressed, lonely or whatever it is, you deserve to rest. Grab your backpack, put some shoes on and find a perfect place to rest, comfort your self and move towards relaxation and inner peace —be with nature.
Hi, there! The school will start next week so before I jump into heavy school works, rest matters.
Saturday, 13th of January this year, we went to my Aunt rest house, 30km away from the city. As we go on with our trip, I could see the abundant mountains. It is amazing, I feel like I am super close to the mountains and yet I am too far from it.
As we arrived in our destination, after putting our baggages in our designated rooms, we hurriedly prepare our lunch. We left the city around ten in the morning and we arrived before 11, including those stops we did to buy some fruits beside the street.
I did arrange the set-up for our lunch and look at that, a perfect view and delicious foods is waiting for our aching souls and tummies. It is super relaxing and at the same time, seeing the beautiful creation of God, right in front of us.
So, here's the view everyone.
A sight of calmness and it is blowy. The wild winds and its fresh air, mixed with a little bit of warm and cold. Who would not enjoy this kind of view? 🥺 It is so beautiful, it exceeded my expectations too. I also took pictures quickly. Of course, who am I not to appreciate this view? Hello, it is giving! 🌿✨
Aside from all of this, I have a favourite part in this place. Where I sat down, crossed legs and swaying forwards and backwards.
I realized that the place is so foreign. I feel like I am not in my country, hehe. I do also reminisced those hardships I have encountered during last year, in school, health, emotionally, mentally and physically. I surpassed all of it and now I am braver and stronger to face any challenges ahead of me.
As time passed by, we ate bread and drink coffee around 3 in the afternoon and went back to enjoy the view after that. I spent my time staying in the viewing deck, appreciating and exhaling all the heavy things I had inside. I also did tiktoks and recorded myself.
Later that night, I went to enjoyed myself alone in the jacuzzi. It is so relaxing and the water seemed to be my comfort while my aunts and uncle went to opened a bottles of alcoholic drinks and enjoyed the rest of the night. I have decided to watched sunrise because I haven't experienced to wake up early to watched the sun to rise and I am pleased because I witnessed it for the first time. I wake up early, around 5:45 in the morning and went into the viewing deck and later moved beside jacuzzi.
This is what I have captured, from six exactly in the morning to 6:59am. I watched the sun to rise for almost one hour. It was great, I enjoyed it so much. My soul is so happy. After that, we prepared for our breakfast and lunch, respectively. We arrived home around 5 in the afternoon. It is an overnight stay but it feels like months. Full tummies, full memories,and rest assured I got the rest I deserved.
Again, this is Agnola. Leaving you with this words, “Take a break from all of it, connect with nature, and take a vacation once in a while. You deserve to rest, you deserve to be in a place where you reconnect with yourself and restart your inner peace. There's so much the world and yourself can offer. When everything's feels so heavy,remember that rest matters.”
This is the end of my blog. Thank you for reading. ✨
