I guess you don't have to fly to italy to eat or travel to india to pray. A holiday can be a state of mind. Just let your mind bring you where only you and nothing else matters. My family might say i'm being stupid wasting half a day in Taipei roaming around alone trying to find myself. ... Instead of shopping eating and all that typical holiday activities.

After 5 hours of cramming in jet star, initially to spend family time, but actually to get away from my problems i realise no place will be far enough to dump your negative feelings. The ultimately recycle bin is within you. You can't just check in your emotional baggage like do with your luggages.

There are sure to be bumps on the path of life. If we can't solve it now, we just have to hang on first. Quoted from a book, " letters to sam" the author shared that he got a very bad sore once but the doctor bandaged the wound when he was told that the wound needs oxygen to heal. The doctor then replied him, "Dear, all that is needed to heal the wound is already in your body." the oxygen is in the blood not from the air.

Bruises and scars are indeed part and parcel of our lives. And yes, we are definitely not superhuman. Everyone is capable of being fragile, emotional and irrational. Learning to live with these emotional baggages is necessary because even the symbol of optimism, the rainbow, has different shades. We must learn to live with these feelings of longing because some voids are impossible to fill while others are just well, not ready to be filled. And some are just meant to be empty to remind us of the importance of those that are filled.

Life is definitely not a fairy tale but its sure does have many fairy tales. Read on. Write on. :)
