A Peaceful Escape || 10% Beneficiary set to @steem-nations
Hi everyone, hope you are doing well. It’s January, and the cold in Karachi feels even stronger than December.. This week, I had exams, but I didn’t feel like studying.
Yesterday, while preparing for my exam, I noticed the weather in the evening. The whole day was cold with no sunshine, and the chilly breeze reminded me of days when I used to enjoy being on the roof.
So, I decided to take a break from studying and went to the rooftop. The weather was amazing cloudy and slightly cold. It was golden hour, and the sunlight peeked through the clouds now and then.
Walking around on the roof felt so peaceful. It made me think about how I used to come here alone when something bothered me. Spending time alone used to help me clear my mind and feel better.
It’s like my escape whenever I feel stressed, depressed, or tense. I’ve always loved spending time in my own zone because it helps me reflect and relax. Crowded places give me anxiety, and I can’t stay in rushy areas for more than an hour.
After walking around, I sat on the stairs. One of the best things about my house is the view. The nearby houses are small, so the sky and surroundings are completely visible.
Plus, my roof is high, so I don’t hear any noise from below. Sitting there, all alone, I realized how much I missed this feeling. Because of university, I barely get time for myself, and this small escape felt so refreshing.
Being on the roof brought back so many memories from the past few years. That’s what alone time does it makes you recall good memories and moments, and I felt grateful for all of them.
My advice to everyone reading this is to take some time for yourself. Step away from people, spend some alone time, and let yourself relax. If you’re upset, cry it out and let your heart feel lighter.
Everyone has their own way of healing, but for me, this is the best escape. No one can truly heal you unless you want to heal yourself.
I read somewhere that healing is a journey you have to take alone. Depending on others for healing doesn’t work.
It takes time, and you’ll go through pain and trauma, but eventually, you will heal.
That’s it for today. In my next post, I might write something inspired by a book I read.
