So how's my life? I am currently on a journey to get out of my comfort zone. I am of course inspired by the awesome @LLfarms, from her post titled My Unexpected Journey - A Year Of Firsts.
Part of my growth is to get out and travel alone. I am a person who is very picky about friends. I only have a few friends who I consider someone 'close'. Most of them are out of town or have their own life so if I am not with them, I just hide in my room.
Since I'm starting to travel, I guess you can call me the travelingblade now. B-)
After my Muay Thai class, (yes I just did that, and I will talk about that after a month of training) I went to one of the famous parks here in our city - the Baywalk. When I got there, I didn't expect it to be uhmm.. destroyed? Well they didn't take care of the park and I don't know what happened but I still went inside anyway.
Even though the park is messy, I can still feel the fresh air and nostalgic vibe. I have been here 5 years ago but the feeling is still the same. The only difference is that it is messy and there are very few people around. After sitting for awhile thinking about life, I took some pictures.
There are dead plants and trash everywhere.
Some rusty metal.
Some rusty iron bars pointing up to the sky, because apparently, we humans want to live in a heaven-like place but act like devils.
And speaking of the devil...
Of course I took some self portraits... Just me and the squad. :D
Just an edgy mini adult who likes memes and shitty music. Rawr xD
These leaves are dead, just like me.
Still standing motherfuckers.
Okay, enough with this part. Let's walk to the seaside.
Hmm, perfectly reflects the people who threw that here. Someone who posts "Stop the use of plastics" on social media sites and later would do this.
That, folks, is why we are told to drink responsibly. Right, @svemirac? ;)
Gotta love rust. So poetic.
This is what happens when you always see beautiful seascape shots on Steemit... and you saw rocks and a water puddle... Reflections, baby! Too bad, not much clouds. That always happens. They're not there when you need them the most. :)
While taking pictures, these group of kids went and smiled at me. Oh, hello there uncircumcised boys!
They want me to take pictures of them. So I did!
Yes, they like to live dangerously. One wrong move and they'll be diving like mad bros in the water. And yeah, I just watched them. Nah, I didn't try to tell them to be careful or something, they know the risks. Besides, let them have their experience if ever they have an unexpected trip to Poseidon's ass. They know how to swim and we can just pull them easily back to life.
Oh... yes... forgot they might bump their heads on the concrete and have head injuries. Forget what I said.
That was close! Just kidding.
Notice the arm of that kid in red, it has a heart rate monitor logo (or whatever you call it) with "Justine" written beside it. His crush? Aaayyyeeeee. boys :P
Some water hitting the rocks... hard.
@rubencress pointed out it looked flat, like I can just dip my feet on the water. But no, one fall and I'd possibly die. Well, I have no idea how deep that is. Plus, I can't swim. And I'd be hitting my face with rocks. So, yeah.
Does it look dangerous to you? Because to me, it does.
The one on the left was about the mermaid statue (the pic on the right). Yes, it was The Little Mermaid replica but eventually got destroyed. Now don't ask me about Copyright issues because I have no idea how they dealt with that. Lol.
More rocks!
Things will eventually get tired of holding on, so they let go...
Broken, but not ugly.
Rocks and everything assorted.
A dead crab. Press F to pay respect to our fallen arthropod.
After standing dangerously at the seawall, I went back to that small little concrete and took a break. I told you, you don't want to see these but you need to. Do we want to see more of these? No. So what shall we do? Take care of the things around us. Most especially the people around us. Don't go crying when you lose them. :D
Appreciate what you have while you have it.
Goodbye.
