Whew, its really been a fun vacation, one that I desperately needed for so long! The previous few trips weren't really as enjoyable and fun as the trip back in P6 to Australia...but this time round, I finally had the "looking forward to the next item on the itinery" feeling, that retarded anticipation of seeing the next waterfall or tasting the next spicy Sichuan dish.
Life's been good up on the mountains :)
Firstly, its truly serene and peaceful. No hustle and bustle of people all around you. Just...alone, you and your thoughts smoothed with the trickling of water down semifrozen waterfalls. Somehow, just glancing down the cliffs with clouds about your ankles made for a therapeutic, amnesic effect that helped so much in recovery. I feel better now, so very much better. :)
As the crystallized trees slowly eroded back into lush greenery down the road from Mt Emei, I've been thinking..perhaps what some people told me's right...to be alone but happy, than to give that happiness away in search and attempt for something better...
why risk it? you're happy the way things are now, why even bother fixing something that isn't broken? if being by yourself, you feel happy and fulfilled doing the things you've wanted to do, why look for someone to burden your life with..and at the same time, to burden their life with?
i suppose, i'd like to enjoy the love of my friends and family more than anything now.
