Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
Sadness is often portrayed as negative and bad that we often hide it. Whenever we feel sad, we quickly tell ourselves to be happy. Sometimes we feel bad for feeling sad. We feel worse for feeling bad. Endless. But, is it really not okay to feel sad or to show the world that we’re not…
This winter break I am not traveling. I am planning to travel with some friends, though, but I don’t think we’ll make it. Anyway, the reason I am not traveling is because I am saving so I can travel a bit farther next summer break. Please wish me luck with the visa ^^ Another reason…
