Vacation, the pursuit of a well deserved escape.

This topic is based on individual preferences, tastes, choices, and ways of life, but I think we should try once in a while to go extra in pampering ourselves. As we all know life is full of ups and downs. We toil day in and day out, pushing ourselves to meet deadlines, financial stability, and make ends meet; it’s all too easy to lose sight of the joy that comes from taking a break to recharge and enjoy life. After all, we deserve to indulge ourselves at times to experience the thrill of a well-deserved escape. A vacation is needed at some point in one's life.

When I think about what it means to truly unwind, what comes to my mind is a vacation. It is a place where the burdens of everyday life fade away, it's filled with simple pleasure and leisure. If I had the means, I would seize the opportunity to travel to a beautiful destination like Dubai to enjoy its beautiful nature, where the sights and sounds invite me to embrace adventure, and where my hard-earned money allows me to command the comforts I crave. Remember, it is once in a while 👌

A place where I can wake up to a delicious breakfast in bed, hmmm, so yummy 😋 Following breakfast, I would set out to explore the world around me. I used to be envious of this. My brother-in-law and his wife, during their first baby, went on vacation to Dubai to enjoy her maternity leave for six months. I was happy, no doubt, but I just felt I should also have a taste of having a vacation with my family, but the kind of work we do gives me no room for that. Where is the money, when I'm a teacher 🤣🤣🤣

I am fully aware that the ability to enjoy such taste can be based on the choices we make and the financial realities we face. The work we undertake can sometimes become a barrier to the joys we seek. Many of us find ourselves caught in a cycle of responsibilities, where the very thought of taking a vacation seems like a distant dream. And while it’s essential to work hard and fulfill our obligations, it is equally important to carve out moments for ourselves to prioritize our well-being and embrace the joy of living. Let's do this once in a while 👌

However, if I'm richer than this, vacation to different places is what I will consider. It opens doors to new adventures, each location offering its own unique flavor and experience. It’s not just about seeing new things, but about connecting with the world in a meaningful way. Every journey taken would leave a remarkable memory that would enrich my life, serving as a reminder of the beauty beyond my daily routine of hustle and bustle of life. I need to have a taste of this one day👌

Well, I have been holding onto the hope that one day I will have the opportunity to experience my vision of a perfect vacation to enjoy each moment, explore with an open heart, and celebrate the essence of living fully and joyfully. I believe we all deserve to take that time for ourselves, that everyone should have a taste of what we like at least once in their lifetime and to craft our own beautiful stories in life.
