The Curse of the Happy
The happiest people
The happiest people
Are often the ones who
Have gone through much
They are the best liars
The ones that hide it all
To ensure others don't have to
As long as that lie
Is there
Ever present
As long as happiness is
Around them everywhere
In everyone else
They too are happy
Hey guys! So I've been away all week and so I haven't answered any messages or Facebook messages, because really that was the whole point of getting away.
I think in my group of friends and family, I'm probably the least traveled by a long mile. It's not something deliberate or something that I'm afraid of. It's more I've never found a real reason to take a holiday or get away.
If I had stayed in Melbourne, I would not have had all the stories and memories from the last week. There are somethings that you see on TV or read about in a book, that you say it will never happen to you because it's all too perfect. It, however, did to me. I realized that you don't need a reason to take a holiday, you can take a holiday just for a holiday.
For a few days and nights I was by myself. I've always enjoyed being myself; I've always enjoyed being by myself; there's something about doing exactly what you want and not having to worry about others and what they want to do. It's not to say it's better than being with a friend or a group but it's something I enjoy doing at least once a year.
Getting away this time reminded me to take a step back from everything, every once in a while, to enjoy myself and most importantly to remember to have fun.
Having said that, it does feel a little precious of me that I had to leave Melbourne to do it. Really, I could have just toughed it out and done it at Melbourne and it would have been ok. Really, I could just not have been a whiny 5 year old.
Sometimes, it does get to become too much.
Which isn't to say that I'm going to be a travelling nut now.
