As a person who only stays at home, there are days when I feel empty doing things repeatedly.
My life only revolves at home especially when the pandemic started and even studying was done in an online set-up. With that, I missed so many days of wandering outside unlike when everything was still normal, without the danger brought by any deadly viruses.
Now that the world is slowly healing, and the virus cases are slowly subsiding, I decided to go for a walk this morning with my best friend. It’s not that far from our house, but it still feels nice to go outside my comfort for a while.
Seeing the clear blue sky on this bright sunny day makes me think of doing it every week so I wouldn’t suffocate myself that much from overthinking at home especially when I’m bored.
My academic study for this semester has already ended so I don’t have to worry about school work and deadlines, and so, I can freely do whatever relaxing things I want for this vacation of mine. Though, I can't go for a travel vacation as of now since I’m still a student who doesn’t have enough money, I’m trying my best to enjoy this natural view in our place here in the province for free.
We decided to go for a walk at around 8:00 am a while back, and of course, my best friend had so many stories to tell so our walk took several minutes before we reached this area, and thought of sitting on the bench around the basketball court in our barangay.
Even though the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly that time, the wind never failed to blow calmly so we still felt comfortable with the weather. There's also a shady area where there are tall trees where we sat down so it was indeed comfortable to stop by in this place.
My best friend even brought a ball that we can play while we’re around the area. At first, I was hesitant to play basketball because aside from not being a sporty type of person, people around the area might think we were crazy for playing basketball in an open court where the sun is shining brightly. However, my best friend encouraged me to play her favorite sport and we decided to not care that much about other people’s possible judgments. Lol
We didn’t get the chance to take photos together while playing because we were too shy to ask someone around the area. So, we just took photos separately, and yeah that’s me.
A person who is not blessed with a tall height, and someone who wore clothes with color not complimenting the weather. I should’ve worn something bright instead of a dark one that could absorb the heat coming from the sun. But, I think it’s still okay because it was windy right here and I didn’t feel irritated with the hot temperature.
After several hours of enjoying outside with a peaceful view and a fun sport, we went home already with a smile on our lips. Since we’re just neighbors and our parents trust us both, they didn’t think of us, doing unnecessary things like what other youths are fond of doing.
I hope we can go for a walk again next time as I can’t deny the fact that I really enjoyed today’s activities even though we’re just two. Next time, maybe I can also ask some of my friends to go with us to have more fun since just like the famous quote says “the more, the merrier.”
That’s all for today’s blog, everyone. I hope you enjoy reading it. ❤️
