Every person has a place they connect with, some call it their happy place, most-frequented outlet, I love to call it my paradise.
“Over the hills and far away Looking out for a better day When it seems like there’s no escape Take me to my happy place.”
Have you heard this song by Saint Phnx? Every living being on this earth has a place they connect with, some call it their happy place, most-frequented outlet, I love to call it my paradise. You guys don’t agree? Well, how about I start with some examples.
The list is long and I can just keep going on. Anyway, sometimes this is not just a place, but maybe a person, a feeling, a dreamland, your thoughts, but for every being, there is something like this. And today I want to share about my paradise.
Ever since I can remember, I grew up in cities along the border of India, so there were always a lot of beaches and for some reason, I fell in love with water, it may be a swimming pool, a tributary, a lake or the majestic Indian ocean, whenever I am around a water body, I feel that it is inviting me with open arms. Just lying on the water floating with my ears covered, I can hear nothing but absolute silence (for the first few seconds until my thoughts start destructing my paradise).
The feeling of floating in the water or simply swimming or if I get lucky and get a chance to go snorkelling or scuba diving. During my earlier days when I felt sad or alone, even when I was homesick, I went for a swim in the nearest backwaters or the sea and that was sure to bring a smile to my face. In the last 5 years, I haven’t been able to do that and I regret my decision, but today I have decided that soon I will find my paradise again.
So, what is your paradise?
