Broken by her fixed by adventure.

I didn't expect to find India

It was the time when I was completely broken, lost and depressed. Nobody was there besides me it was 2017 hot summer I was all alone, having no friends with me also living far away from my family. I was like drinking beers smoking cigarettes all the time and carrying hell lot of sadness in my mind and crying all the time. So one day I was at the roadside tea shop smoking cigarettes and chilling alone I heard a beggar voice asking for food and giving blessings to people, I went to the beggar and gave him few coins and asked him to bless me with some peace in my life, He smiled and said - " Son, peace is just a feeling you just need to develop that feeling which is already inside you and shared a secret direction to me of a unknown abandoned place and go to that place and meditate for a whole day". I was like cool this is something weird but let's do something to find peace. So, on the next day without any hesitation and fear I packed my bag and food and went all alone to that unknown place and after 3 hours of journey I literally found a place with a river and small waterfall which was surrounded by green Forest and rocks there were not a single person I was all alone in the middle of nowhere. I was amazed and I have never felt that feeling in my entire life it was the very first time in my life I went to the place like this. I cleaned up a place to sit and started meditation and listening to my inner peace silently and feeling the environment I was surrounded with and I was bit scared of the forest there could be wild animals. I spent my whole day there all alone thinking about my life and admiring the beauty of the nature and in the evening when I was about to leave the abandoned place I saw a small puppy he was also all alone there and came to me for food I gave him my food and he started licking my hand and I took him in my arms and cuddle him that cute puppy softly. I thought that is something from the God for me so I took that puppy with me to my home and before leaving the place I left all the bad memories, deleted all my Ex messages and photos, and promised myself to be the best version of me and left the abandoned place. Where I lost every single reason to live after my break-up I got another reason to live which was my dog (Jaggu) and also I started exploring the peace of my life by travelling. So from that day I left my job and started traveling to places where I have never been and started living the life I always wanted to live. So, I opened the Google map and searched for the nearest river from my place and got few suggestions and direction to reach there then I packed my bag took my dog (Jaggu) with me and went on a journey to explore life. Now it's the day I have finally found the meaning of life, I can say that you have only one life don't waste it by thinking about the people who doesn't care about you, only you, you can care for yourself and make yourself happy for the rest of your life. Life is all about hope and dream to explore. You just need to keep calm have faith in you and put a smile on your face and go for the extremely unknown adventure of life. Break all the boundaries and live the life you always wanted to. If you have a single reason to live never ever leave that reason just go with it and explore. Who knows if you find the meaning of your life by just giving a chance to your dream. Thank you for giving me the chance to share my story with you all. I hope you enjoyed my small story of achieving peace in life by travelling. - Moinuddin
