Detox yourself from toxic people once in a while 💙
Lately, I realized that I've subconsciously chosen to delight myself with a little sip of vacation. I rarely do this because here in my family, when I was younger, they wouldn't allow me to go far places. And I rarely had the guts to persuade them too. My best friend had been nagging me for a long time to come with her to Laguna and this is the first time that I said yes to her. She was surprised when I said yes and so was i.
During my stay there, it was a bit hard for me to be at ease in a new place because I wasn't really ready to socialize. It felt like I forgot how it felt like to relax and I was a bit paranoid about the people having me around. I was testing the water at that moment.
Little by little, I adjusted to the new environment and the people were nice even though I didn't have enough time to get to know them more. But they are good people there.
I My best friend and I went to Tagaytay(Little Baguio) to take a leisurely walk and look at the view since it was an hour drive from Laguna. I saw the mount Taal and Laguna lake for the first time and it was such a gratifying sight to see. I loved the mildly chilly weather that softly nibbled my skin, and the pictures(that i will post later) and jokes that we made. Everything, everything. I loved every bit of it.
I enjoyed Laguna and the family who hosted us there. I liked how there's always fruits every meal because we rarely include fruits in our meal. Fruits here in Zambales are expensive.
I love my best friend for loving me this much that she cared about my well being. She knows how stressed I am with a lot of things in my life. She took care of me there and accommodated me a lot. We took a lot of pictures and created lots of memories.
I love how God allowed me to have a sip of this vacation. For the safekeeping that He gave to us along the trip. Praise him for his goodness.
And of course, I'm glad that I gave myself a break from everything that's been draining me.
I'm learning to choose to care for myself now.
