First sunset of the year
Watching sunset is like a privilege here, sometimes the weather may get too gloomy to have seen it obviously, or simply my schedule can’t fit well for a 2-hour beach walk. But today, I took the effort of climbing down 471 staircases and watched my first sunset of the year.
I used to frequent this place last year, and I’m feeling a little guilty for abandoning the place for such a long time, due to a hectic schedule. Wreck beach is quite significant to me, it has accompanied me through thick and thin, through laughter and sentimental moments, and it’s also the place where I gained my stamina too!! I used to pause while climbing up to 175 stairs, but I can get up to 421 stairs without stopping nowadays, which I believe it’ll soon lead to a completion of climbing 471 stairs non-stop.
I listened to the same song I last listened at the beach, and spent some time reading and observing the surrounding calmly, the nature and people simply have so much to offer for me, and it’s amazing how these trivial things help in changing my mood and impression on the same song. Staying with the nature to end the weekend is definitely a bliss to me, as I feel so peaceful and secured when nature is embracing me front to front.
I think, I will do my first solo getaway trip this spring break and step on a foreign land on my own this time. I believe that it will be a good exposure to me.
