“You are not my daughter anymore” . That’s what I heard from my dad, whan I told him that I’m going to Bali on my own for one month. 18 years old girl, and I felt no fear. I just had that filling that this trip will change my life. I decided to go to explore Nusa Penida. Picturesque island near Bali. Everyone was taking about it’s compelling beaches. First in the line to visit was Temeling Beach. I didn’t expect that the road will be broken. It seemed to me that they are not fixing that road on purpose! So they can take 4 dollars for taxi which will drive you to the spot. But I decided to go by myself. It was only 2 kilometers. Speechless view. Most beautiful beach I ever saw. I was sweaty, exhausted but happy. At 4:32 p.m I was already going to my apartment. But local man stopped me and showed me the way to Seganing Waterfall. “Okay, this is just a waterfall” I thought. “It’s not going to be hard, let’s go” And I was so wrong. It wasn’t just a regular waterfall, cause it is situated on the cliff by the ocean. I had to go one hour on brunches inserted into the cliff. Questionable safety. And when I finally got to the waterfall - nobody was there. Me, ocean, huge waves and waterfall. Can you imagine how amazing I felt my self. Nature and me. It feels like you are on top of the world and you need nothing but this moment. It was getting dark, and I went back. I forgot that I didn’t eat since morning. Suddenly, my head became spinning and body shaking. No people around, my phone turned off. I wor my helmet in case I loose my consciousness. Somehow I got to cafe. I wanted to order some food and come to my senses. But nobody was there. I was lost. But than I understood that I have to go or I will stay there till morning and meet up with lots of snakes. I found barrel of water and filled my bottle. I had one sip and at that time I felt how grateful I am for my body. I love it so much, cause thanks to it I can get to such amazing place! That thought inspired me. I put my arms on the legs and told to my self ,“You have lots of energy, you can get it from fat samples” And it worked. I got to the village and local man took me to my bike. I’m still so grateful for that day. I realized lot’s of things. Yeah dad, I’m not your daughter anymore. I only belong to my self, and I feel no fear. P.S. I would love to send you amazing pictures and videos from this trip in What’sUp 380508242657.
