I have been away from WP for a bit and though I may become busier with other things in life and other avenues of passion still saying my thought should be here in WordPress. People who reads my stories, blogs and seen my photos here have the same passion like me which is writing and letting the other people know what its like in our own world.
I came to realization that “Going back to a simpler life is not a step backward” by Yvon Chouinard. Hence, I feel much happier to have a simple life than a lavish lifestyles that I have experienced before that after awhile once the sparkles and shows faded I found myself still wanting more and in the end didn’t really make me happy longer.
Gone are the days of festivities, scrumptous buffets in an expensive hotels and restaurants, shopping spree and never ending activities that will not just exhaust your body but also your wallet. Those are considered material things in life that are unnecessary in this type of world we live in now. COVID makes me realize that there is no racial discrimination, no age group, no gender and no life superiority are safe in this world. Everybody in some ways or little (if you are lucky!) have experienced hardships and trials since the pandemic began. Economic health, emotional / mental health and relationships suffered the most. Unfortunately, those who cannot withstand it loses their lives or their control over it.
“Expect nothing and appreciate everything” anynomous.
“There is beauty in simplicity” anynomous.

I am living the simplest life I can have now. I am happier. I wish you are too!

Wow – such synchronicity as I also have pared life down and living far more simply now. Totally in synch with your vibe – I feel so much more content and ready for a new and more fulfilling simpler lifestyle after the excesses of the past 2 years. Enjoy! Which country are you now in?

Great message, simplicity doesn’t get enough credit – society encourages us to always want more and buy into the pressure. It’s good to step back and see the bigger picture, simplify life and de-stress 😊

Thanks Sue for liking it. I just realized a lot of things since covid came into our lives. I also discovered new passions and getting less of what I used to have and becoming ok with it is actually better in this new world. Hard to explain but I know some of you will understand what I mean. TY
