In my life wishlist, I put travelling as one of the highest priority.
It was not just a thing or two about going somewhere and visits many recreational places. If you're a bookworm, you'll understand the feeling when you found a good new book and then you get lost in it, or if you like to cook, you'll get the feeling when you found a new recipe and then you just happily busying yourself in the kitchen. Travelling is quite the same, only you literally "get lost" in it.
I, myself, never get the chance to visit any other countries or other local cool places because of my routines and activities, but I am dying to do that in the future. That feeling makes me really want to do and always enjoy travelling, so much.
Travelling is an art of enjoying the moment. Whether it is a joyful adventure in foreign places or three-hours stuck in the night bus on the way home. Whether it is with your friends and family or alone by yourself with total strangers. Whether it is a long-planned vacation or a sudden decision of runaway.
It was all the same.
The essence of travelling would be the same, with it you'll be creating a story. A unique experience of living.
Many people just exist but aren't really alive. They do things because they have the urgency to do that, not because they want to do that with all their heart. Many people are insane, only a few realize that they don't just exist to be a part of a bigger story called reality, but they are the author—the mastermind—of their own tiny story.
What they need to know that each tiny stories are linked to another one, and any stories of a particular person could be interconnected to other stories of a different person, and they made a bond, a strong one. And that is the kind of bond which makes you alive, which makes you somewhat understand the essence of life itself.
In the end, you may and will be amazed by how this tiny stories which connected to each other could make a bigger network—a constellation of million stories—that develop greater life meaning, and thus make life worth living.

Every single person in this world is unique with different personalities and matters. There are extroverts and introverts. There are people with a bad sense of humour and those who laugh at everything mostly all of the time. There are those who feel empathy and those who don't even care about what they did to others. There are those who want huge attention and those who feel comfortable being little and unnoticed. There are those who feel happy being in the crowd and those who value solitude more than everything else.
And they have reasons for doing that. Sometimes they share it with others, but sometimes they don't.
I just want to write this for those who didn't know that there is something important in the way we talk with other people. That there is something called personal matters.
For example, in some countries, you can't and is considered being rude if you talk about one's age, salary, or household problems. You also can't talk about their sexual orientation, or their relationship with a certain person, or their religion and how much faith do they have for their God, or any other private information that they don't want to share with everyone else. Especially if you are not that close to that person.
It is just not your concern.
And to make it as a joke is even worse.
So, all I need to say is that you should limit yourselves, for nobody has the same personality as yours. Not everybody understands what you're talking about and not everybody gets your joke and maybe some taken it too seriously even if you don't really mean it.
There are conversation etiquettes that you should not violate.
And one other thing that you should know in the art of speaking to other people is they show what they want to show you and they didn't show what they didn't want to show you. So don't expect them as you wanted them to be, for everyone has secrets and everyone could change.

But here is what I wanted to tell you, that encouraged me to write this, in this blog. I've been through the confusion about many things in life, You see, I was lost, not knowing my purpose of living, or what I want to do with my life, or such things teenagers like me always questioning themselves.
One of my best friends said that I'm a great thinker, I always have the idea to do or make things, but never really make an act of it. "Talk less, do less, think more," she said. And maybe she's true, and I hate myself for that. Haha. But hell yeah, that is the truth. I always dream big but never have the guts to make it real, I was pathetic.
I was always wanted to be famous, I created my Youtube channel and fill it with song covers but sadly turns out no one really watching except my closest friends, I wrote stories in Wattpad hoping to be famous enough to publish books but never really finish any single one. I probably also made this blog because I wanted people to see it, became a great blogger that someday I'll get money from it, but as you can see. I abandoned this blog with only a few posts.
Sometimes I wish I could have done better, or at least really do something.
But as the years passing by, I thought something. That I've been wrong all this time. To be famous, to be known by the people, to make some money from it. It is all wrong. When you think again about this life, you could have known that we live in this world to do things for each other, especially your closest friends, family. They are among all other human living on this planet who really cares about you, who would really do something for you too.
It does not matter how big you make an impact on other people's life because even the smallest things could change someone's life. You're not demanded to do something for every single person you meet in your life or influence other people with what you believe and what you can do. Let's be honest that you can't make everyone happy, but just try to do the little things that bring smiles to your friends and family. And remember that it works like a boomerang. You'll also get what you did to them.
Because happiness was not earned by the things that we get and achieve but the things that we do, regardless how big and how much is it.
It is always the little things that make your life more precious. Always see your life in details and maybe you'll find something valuable in it, enjoy the little things, play with your siblings, tell your parents about your day, have quality time with your mom and dad, give your neighbours gifts, ask your friends to come to your house, say "Thank you," and "Please," to everyone, give smiles to strangers, say "Sorry," and accept other people apologies, talk with people you meet in the streets, hear your favorite songs with your favorite person. Believe me, that it is all worth it.
And when someone asked me "What is your purpose in life?",
I would gladly say "To be happy, and to bring the happiness to the people around me, especially my friends and family."
