"What do you want to do tomorrow?"
"Uhmmm... I dunno. Go to the beach?"
"Which beach exactly?"
"Somewhere far..."
That was one conversation I had 2-3 years ago with my boyfriend, PJ. We weren't really in the mood to go swimming, we just wanted a breather. living in the city is so toxic that you just want to pull yourself away. We both went to the beach with a mission: to hang out an talk. It may not something you normally do at the beach but that's what we did. It was random. Refreshing. We took the time to slow down and we loved it. It was a random thought. A spontaneous act.
Nowadays, I rarely get to slow down because of work although I'm so happy I get to spend equal time with my boyfriend, friends and family. Sometimes though, even when I'm on a break, work finds me. It's like I'm on call. I was never told I'd be on-call but I can't complain. I enjoy my job especially because I have such good rapport with my workmates. I just wish sometimes though I can pull myself away. Go somewhere where there's no cellphone signal so no one would bother me, somewhere calm, somewhere I can enjoy even just for a few days.
I still am positive though that I can have even just one day to relax and get away.
Hope you had a great weekend!
