It had taken a few years to achieve a hair length that was elbow-level. Every day, I would wash it with care and thoughtfulness, though I never really bothered putting so much effort into styling it. I liked my hair just the way it was. One day, I was feeling incredibly invincible, a little scared, but pumped up nonetheless. Without hesitation, I tucked my phone inside my bag, booked a cab and headed to a place where I know my spontaneity would now etch a new, crazy memory in my head. Prior to this, I had already saved dozens of photos of the looks that I'd wanted, now pinned on my Pinterest page. I'd received nonstop motivation from my fiancee, giving me that boost of confidence to finally make it happen. When I did reach my destination, it took me a moment to step inside the building. I took a deep inhale, held the door handle on my hand, and pushed open the door as I made my way inside the little shop. Now, the fun begins. I've just gotten my hair shampo...

I'm mostly an introvert who adores being inside the house reading a book or watching a movie, but today is different. It's finally Summer! These past few months, I have been longing to go to the beach and swim to my heart's content (by the shallow part of the sea since I don't know how to swim lol).

Unfortunately, the earlier bus has left at 3:15 AM and the next one would be at 5 AM. We were left with an option to join another group inside a V-hire (or van).

(c) artisbeing.com Take it easy. We all will get there one day. I know lately, things are happening all too fast - too instant - too passing. You know what I mean. One moment you're with the best person in your life, feeling warm and happy, enjoying each other's company - now you're alone, trying to stand strong, but shaking inside. One moment you have the best job in the world - now you're wondering why you don't love it anymore, why you feel dull and dead. One moment you're so full of passion towards something, perhaps your feelings, an advocacy to protect, or a mission to fulfill - now, you've become aimless, lost, invisible even. Hold your horses. I know you want to scream. I understand you want to run away from this troublesome world. I recognize your need to travel. Because you think it gives you satisfaction. Because you believe it calms your soul. Because you don't want to see and hear what's real. You want to experience beauty and t...
