blabbering under a carpet full of stars.
The corporate life has started for me and as much as I do enjoy being in a new environment, surrounded by extremely nice and inspiring people, bluntly; I miss traveling.
The people, the nature, everything.
That feeling of waking up in the morning not knowing what you're going to be doing that very day, the feeling of meeting somebody completely random, enjoying it but feeling nervous trying to figure out whether that person is trying to be nice or just trying to steal your money.
I miss all of it.
When you're traveling, because you're out of your "ordinary life," you're able to take a step back from society and simply acknowledge the beauty and sensitivity of normal life.
Just the normal train ride to work, the sunlight that deems in as you have your lunch, the conversations you have with your friends at school, from a third eye, from the eyes of a traveler, all of these are "irregular" moments.
It's weird though, it's the same life I'm living, when I'm traveling or when I'm just preoccupied with work. Yet, life manages to look so different.
I remember when I was traveling in Sri Lanka, Saki and I would wait for it to get dark. When it did, we would go to this little fort where we could lie down and look at a pitch black wall paper that is the sky being occupied with infinite bright stars.
There, we just talked about our future, our lives and the universe as a whole.
The conversations I had here with Saki are irreplaceable; these feelings and thoughts we both had, especially because we were traveling at the time...
The thing I remember most from these conversations is when we talked about how little our problems are, no matter how big they try to make out to be. Compared to the universe that is full of mysteries and incomparable force, the life of a human being is smaller than our metric that is a second.
This just makes me think twice about every decision I make on a daily basis.
Is this the right job for me? Is this the right way I should be spending my life? Do my friends like me? What will people think of me? Am I a good person?
Do whatever makes you happy because quite frankly, human beings are way more mortal than we think we really are.
The traveling me could teach me a thing or two right now...
