There will always a pulse of excitement whenever you see yourself smiling as I do. Despite the pressures hit us up like endless but there will always a chance to find happiness.

How could it be? Once my friend said;

“Do what you can do”

I was doubting myself, I don’t even know what I can do. I’m trying to find a clue. There’s a bunch of questions in my head. It should be easy to answer your own question but the truth is bitter. Lesson learned the hardest thing to find is ourselves.

I daydreamed all the time and pretended I was somewhere distant, going through the most incredible adventures. I realized that I hadn’t actually achieved anything special. I felt empty inside.

Then I urge myself to go somewhere. I urge myself to pursue my true dreams, the ones I locked away in a drawer and left for another time. And I already get a clue, I could find happiness in my solitude.

Solitude can be a time of self-discovery. Solitude is my chance to learn something about myself. It is like a process that involves asking and answering four basic questions:

Who am I?

What makes me unique?
