Travelling with anxiety
Thirteen years of existence. Back then, I only view life as blue - mysterious yet like an open book, full of anxiety and worries. For me life is a five thousand pieces jigsaw puzzles, as a teenager, I experienced restricting myself and walking away on life's hardships. Just like how I was with puzzles back in my childhood, never realizing that effort and patience will give you the lesson you are needing to find. Of course, I often question myself, 'what is beyond these walls and curtains?'. My life took a turn, or rather a massive drive, instead of running away, I buckled up. Diving to the ocean of photography, I realized that life is more than just the color blue. Life is a white canvas and I am the painter of my own masterpiece, the one who captures memories, and most importantly, the anxiety to my travel. Whenever I travel, the surge of anxiety always take over, but after my accomplishment, I realized that anxiety is there to let you feel the fear, the excitement, the worry yet it can give you satisfaction after your fulfillment. Imagine surfing at the refreshing island of Boracay, but without any waves. See? Anxiety gives you the continuous thrilling saga and the spice your life needs. Sometimes, anxiety is not bad as you thought. Just look at the positive side, anxiety and travel does go together. Don't only see life in one color, travel and capture these moments with a lens or much better, with your own eyes and save it to your mind, keep it on your heart and make it a piece of your soul. If you look at it, travelling is often about finding yourself. There are a lot of opportunities waiting for you with open hands, move those curtains and plan how you want to spend your life. Walk, run or even scream at a mountain's peak! God knew, and will always know, all the happiness you have stored inside. Anxiety may take over you, but don't let it stop you, let it be the waves and surf through it, let it be the mountains and climb on it. Take time to enjoy, don't always look at anxiety negatively. Let it surge, but be the master of your own sail. Go travel, have fun, let go, be free, and most importantly, find yourself mesmerized in God's wonderful creation. Life is short - so make the best of it. philippines-tourism.org/quezon/mauban/travelling-with-anx...
