Today, I was lying in bed in the precious rainy evening when I had the idea to go for an overland trip from Singapore to Laos all alone. I have a burning desire to make my life exciting and meaningful, and so when things become dull, I usually panick and feel lost.
I just came back not long ago from a job in the Middleast, thinking that I would find all my answers back home. When what I've put all my hopes on came cumbling down, I re-thought my decisions in life.
I'm going to do some serious backpacking; taking trains, buses, bicycles, staying in budget hostels, etc. It's going to be a soul-searching journey. I want to learn more about myself and the world. I want to step out of my comfort zone. I want to feel absolute freedom again.
The journey will start one week from now and will last one month. I plan to spend as little as possible; just enough to survive. I believe this will be a life-changing experience, and one more tick on "Things to do before I die".

I just know that u are full of struggle in ur heart. Indeed many ways to make life more interesting and meaningful but not by running away from real life. Make yourself useful to anyone else, family and friends. Make them proud of what you have achieved. Challenge yourself to become a better person. It's more fun.
ReplyDeleteWe must have a purpose in life. We dont have much time to play. Life is short. Maybe u're bored with your life and want to quit but think for a lot of people who want to go as you live. Be thankful with what you have now.
U still have friends and family who still care about you. Do not run away from them.
Happiness depends on ourselves.
