Silence..peace..serenity....it
conveys one message..a state of being calm, a SOLITUDE. To listen to the voice of your heart and to
give force to what is happening inside of you. Solitude doesn’t mean you are
lonely, it means you are getting stronger and no longer afraid to face your
battle alone. No longer scared to open your eyes to see the beauty of the sun. Not afraid to wake up in the morning seeing and
knowing that you’re not sharing your bed with anyone. Not afraid to take a risk
and to take chances. Solitude helps you become yourself and not as what the
society requires you to be. It helps you remove the fear that envelope you most
of the time because you are unsure of life. It gives you time to cure whatever
is broken in the inside. It gives you moment to talk to yourself, to never be
afraid.. to take risk.
….June 7,
2014, Saturday, My rest day; I decided to go to a private resort which is
not polluted by tourist. I want to be alone. I want some time for myself away
from the busy tourist area of Boracay; to read, to think, to sleep with only
the sound of waves playing on the background. The friendly crew kept asking why
I am alone, letting me know that it is their first time to have a solo guest, they
normally receive lovers or a group. I told them because I am, smiled and went
straight to the spot which I think is best for my reading escapade. I want to
tell them that I am not alone. That I have the beach which gives me peace, I have the tree that gives me enough shades so
I can read comfortably. I have my eyes to see the beauty of nature and my
camera to capture it further. I have my friends back home whom I know are
silently praying for me to be safe. I have my family who inspires me. I have my
dreams that give me reason to focus and to prioritize on the things that really
matter to me and not on those that only brings negativity. I have a lot with
me. I want to tell them that if I am alone, I am not lonely, it’s my choice. I
want to assure them that I am fine, that they should not treat me differently
from other guest; that there is no need to be extra kind to me.…but I don’t want
to talk any further. I don’t want to give explanation to everything and to
everyone…I don’t want to open my mouth too much for a day. That today is my NO SPEAK
day. I want to have my silence…I am not
sad, It’s only because I am having my solitude.. My peace, my serenity. My QUIET day. :)
