Hello guys

Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening Wherever you may be...

Recently, I've been getting messages of concern from my family, close friends, and even peers in my everyday life asking "How are you?" and sudden follow up "Are you OK? I haven't seen you for awhile"... I get these questions quite a lot, especially my younger sister.

As a son, an older brother, a good friend, an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker), pretty much I'm remotely isolated from everyone back home in the Philippines, but it doesn't mean I'm lonely. I maybe ALONE but never Lonely...There's a big difference

Anyways, to get my point across, whenever I feel this explainable feeling of melancholy or sometimes 'depression', for whatever reason....Stress from work, tight financial constraints, Struggles in Everyday Life,In General....I would just stop whatever it is I'm doing, get out of my desk or room, get out of the establishment, go to the nearest park (if I get lucky), have a bit of a wee walk around for a few minutes....and I feel a lot better when I get back to get things done....I just need that shut down time, get outdoors, breathe fresh air, and I feel OK after that.

I'm not a therapist, I'm not preaching anything....I'm just saying what I do when these kinds of emotion hit me, and sometimes hit me hard. That's why I need to do short walks and long walks on the weekend to clear my mind and heart of the negative emotions so I can power on with my positive and productive activities...Just like some people would say "Rainbow after the Rain"...

Until then, embrace positivity, Reflect Negativity, Stay Healthy and Active

Keep on Walking...

Be One with Nature...

Thank you! =)
