Serenity, Courage and Wisdom

The past weeks were tough, mostly with an inner battle with my self.

Sometimes, it's hard to be an introvert and an over thinker because you tend to be anxious all the time.

A Simple Date in the Hilltop

From the hilltop, you can see a 360 degrees view of the mountains on the background and the highway below.

This is the view we wanted.
We imagined a peaceful and simple life in this place.
To grow our own food, maybe not all but mostly fruits, vegetables, poultry and some fresh water fishes.

However, just recently, we were informed of a road opening that will pass by in this very exact same spot where we spend our afternoons watching the sunset. This road will pass by just beside our house.

Honestly, I initially found it hard to accept this. Especially that there is already an existing road that could actually be widened to make it two lanes. I had lots of questions. I built plans in my mind on how to develop this area we call home only to have it demolished by this project.
But I knew we can no longer oppose it rather, we can only negotiate.

And we did.

And all the while I hope we negotiated the best for us. Because this place is our peace, our home.
A place where we could move away from the noise of the city,
where we could relax our lungs from the breathe of fresh air.

The project has started and we could only hope for the best.

So, here's us, feeding our souls and our tummies to satisfaction while enjoying this view.
