Birds are flying on the sky, tell me please why can't I?

Having woken up at 4.00 pm, I unconsciously check what time is it now on my phone: OMG what have I done for a half day off? Working with more than 12 hours per day and sleeping for the rest, I'm asking myself what am I doing for my 20s? I deserve more than that! Immediately turn on my computer and submit my resignation, I'm very hunger for finding my true value journey in those good old days. Getting rid of the job with high salary, facing a lot with trials and tribulations in life, I still want to follow my heart - at least once in my lifetime. Exploring new places by myself get me a lot of insights from local people, having a chance to experience with multi cultures and deep thinking from other perspectives make me feel alive. Living in Manila for 6 months, flying to Cebu to see breathtaking nature view, or going along with the people living in the North are some of the unforgettable memories. Traveling many provinces from the North to the South in Vietnam, I find it myself getting more mature after the each journey. There I one quote I have never forget: "Birds are flying on the sky, tell me please why can’t I?" I still want to write for the next chapter and I hope that my upcoming destination is gonna be Caribbean!
