Creating life through the world

A leap into the unknown India

Staying away from my hometown for 10 days and travel around 5000km to experience the beauty and culture of 6 different cities, and that too alone ..it was a breathtaking experience for me. But it was not easy for me in fact it was not even my cup of tea because I had to bear myself for 10 days and that too on my own🤣. Jokes apart..but I actually took quite a long time to convince myself for this solo trip. The reason behind confusion was actually I have never travelled alone before. Lots of questions were entering my mind, my heart was experiencing tremendous chaos. People were adding up to my confusion with their baseless questions like is it that necessary? Have u lost ur mind ?? Is it really needed ??? And so on... but what I feel is, just like when our phone doesn't function properly we restart the phone... then why can't we do the same with our lives? I was in a need to get to know myself, to spend time with myself, to have a conversation with myself...a need to get to know myself a little bit better and a need to smile a little more..like the actual genuine smile and not pretentious one. And after getting bombarded by so many questions I finally decided to restart my life. I will admit that my planning wasn't perfect in fact there were so many things which were not a part of my plan and I had to deal with that spontaneously. Especially I can not forget the muscle pain I was having because of my 15 kg bagpack. My shoulders were heavy because of the pain but not heavier than the pain I was experiencing till now in my life. I was asking people for help, for information...oh damn; I can't believe I did this all on my own. I was scared, I felt homesick sometimes. I experienced extreme joy of life as well as the bitter loneliness too. But I lived my life to the fullest in those 10 days ❤.
