Today, I had the opportunity to attend the small birthday celebration of my friend’s little child. Along with my two children, I traveled about 20 kilometers from my home to a rural area. It was a peaceful place, far away from the noise and busy life of the city, filled with simplicity and calmness.
During the journey, there were several places that truly captured my heart. The green paddy fields, the trees gently dancing in the soft breeze, and the clay roads reminded me of my childhood. A small stream flowing quietly by the roadside, a tiny bridge across it, and farmers working humbly in their fields—all of these scenes reminded me of the simple beauty of life.
I have always felt close to nature. Seeing trees, plants, birds, and natural landscapes brings peace to my heart. So, I did not forget to take a few photographs of the places that touched my soul along the way. Each photograph feels like a memory preserved—holding the happiness, freedom, and connection with nature that I felt in those moments.
The birthday celebration itself was simple, warm, and filled with love. The laughter of children, their innocent joy, and the moments they shared together brought me great happiness. Compared to grand city celebrations, small gatherings in rural surroundings feel much closer to the heart.
Today reminded me that life is not about grandeur, but about appreciating simple moments. The time spent with friends, the laughter of children, and the quiet beauty of nature all came together to make this day a truly special memory.
Thank you reading.
Have A nice day.
