It has been weeks since I last talked to him. I've kept myself busy. This day is specially tiring. When i finally had time to sit down and breathe, I realized I miss him. Disclaimer: im not in love with him. He was just good to me. And im worried because he was in a dark place, i do hope he is ok.

I’ve taken the Moderna vaccine a month ago and on to my second in June. To be honest, I wasn’t exactly thrilled of the prospect of getting it because I’ve been on the plane since the pandemic and shutdown began. I didn’t feel funny or sick but I realized that it’s important that we have to encourage people in getting the vaccine and to save other people’s lives. We can endanger other people’s lives by being a vessel of Covid. It sound dramatic but it’s reality. If people choose not to get vaccinated then they’re fully responsible of what happens to their family, relatives and friends. If people are still convinced that Covid didn’t have an impact in India - God help us! 😢

Sunrise in Spain This is a book written by Theresa Fersch about her experience of hiking the Camino de Santiago. Like her, I have hiked the Camino. I have done it several times. It is, for sure, the best thing I have done for myself. Here is an excerpt from her book that explains what the Camino means to those who have done it. I thought about many things today, but as I was walking that last 10km in the afternoon heat, something hit me like lightning! I get why people do this now! I get it! So few people in the modern industrialized world have the opportunity to find out who they really are and what they are truly capable of within their lifetime. But when you push your mind, body and spirit to do something extraordinary, like hike for hundreds of miles across unfamiliar territory, you reach a level of self-awareness that is not possible in an average life. As I continued to walk today, I was met with myself again. “Oh, I remember you,” we greeted like old friends. I continued to push myself. Meanwhile there was nothing for miles. Just the road stretched before me, the crops surrounding me, and a mirage the size of Texas taunting me. I get it. This is why I’m here. This is what I was hoping for. When you slow things down and remove all the extraneous things, your perspective changes. Your life changes. Simple things become spectacular. Things you take for granted normally are appreciated, adored, loved. Every day I count my blessings. My blessings are different now. They are many. The shade of a tree, the brilliant color in flowers, the welcoming smell of a church, the energetic fist bump from a friend, the cleansing effects of rain, the head nod from a supportive local, the attention of a stray cat or dog, a piece of watermelon provided by a Camino angel, five uninterrupted minutes of privacy, a healing cry, a five-minute shower, the sight of wheat crops waving at me in the breeze, the breeze itself. These are all missed when you move too fast. I’m so grateful I have the opportunity to slow life down and see how beautiful the world is. I can’t even describe it. Everyone should be able to experience the world like this. What an absolutely amazing hike today.

It was a good day overall.. and I wanted to share my excitement with someone.. then i realized that person is not around. I dont know if he is coming back. I dont even know how he is doing. That made me sad.

We’ve broken up because he lives far away and he doesn’t want to move here. 🙂
