Maybe… Just maybe… To choose the off beaten path means that we’re choosing a different way to live our life and we are aware and happy to do that.

It’s strange you know… This concept of thinking that I already have everything in life right here, right now, even more. It’s alien to even think this way. I am so accustomed to the ‘lacking something’ mindset. From the intangible things: I wasn’t smart enough, I wasn’t beautiful enough, I wasn’t athletic enough, I wasn’t cool enough, I wasn’t friendly enough, my family is not rich enough; to the tangible things: my bags were not having those famous emblems, my skin is not having that glass look ( like the Korean skin adv.), my hair are not behaving like I want them to, my car is way too low key to impress, from the size to the sun faded paint. 

And yet, here I am, spending almost 75 minutes alone in a quiet noodle stand, some 800 meters from the office. The running gear is ready, so this afternoon, I’ll run a bit before I go back home. I have skipped my Coursera class for two days now .. so I guess I’ll redo the video again today before I do the assignments. See… It’s.. perfect, I have everything that I need , even more – kind of life isn’t it?

Let’s continue to walk on this off beaten track. Strange but honestly a truly jolly journey.
