Getting lost and Finding Your Way Back

First and foremost, apologies for my lack of photo organisation skills

Okay, now what does this photos represent? Well first it represents the memories that I will keep. No duh on that question. However, it would also serve as reminders and inspiration for me to write that book that I have always wanted to write.

But most importantly, it reminds me of how should I travel; by getting lost. I realised that travelling isn't always about seeing this and doing that. It's what you make out of the things you did. The feelings that you felt when experiencing with another culture. By no means am I telling how you should travel. But maybe giving a few tips of my own. I have yet to discover the public transport system ( a must-do when I travel ) as it would tell me a lot about Dubai. The people, the roads and the environment all play a role in making places unique.

And the only way you can ever do that is by getting lost in it. I guess that was what happened with me when I was away. I got lost because I liked getting lost. But somehow, I had a hard time finding my way back.

Note to self: When getting lost, always know how to come back. 

I become so engrossed with a certain culture that I forget to go home.

But in all honesty, I'm glad that I got lost. Now I'm back home and things seemed clearer. At least for me. I could only imagine the the turbulent feelings of the fictional characters I have read when they got 'lost'. I guess that's what makes it a good book. When a reader is able to connect and feel the same emotions as the characters effectively.

Note to self: Connect.

Getting lost is an amazing thing to do. It allows you to do things and discover new paths that you never realised existed. But, always have something to hold onto; to go back to. Something equally strong and concrete. Something that would still remind the good of you. Because getting lost might also mean experiencing sensations that could easily blind you at that moment. Get lost in a movie, a book or even in a crowd of people. Get lost literally; we have GPS's nowadays. Don't panic; embrace it with open arms.

Maybe I have used the wrong word in my post. However I am just too lazy to edit it.

Wander.

What's the difference? You don't panic when you wander.

Yup, scratch all of that. Wandering is definitely the better word.
