Sometimes, it is better to spend time away on your own than to not go anywhere. I went on an adventure. 🙂

Happiness does not always arrive
with crowds and conversation—
sometimes it sits beside you quietly
and smiles in the silence. 🫠🌿

The suitcase rests beside the bed,
No laughter echoing in the hall,
Just sunlight drifting through the curtains
And the hush of morning’s call.
I wander streets at my own pace,
No plans, but where my heart may roam,
A café chair, a seaside breeze—
For now, the world is mine alone.
There’s peace within the quiet hours,
Time to breathe and simply be,
To watch the tide, to read, to dream,
And listen to the restless sea.
Yet in the golden evening light,
When shadows stretch across the bay,
A gentle thought of those I love
Softly finds its quiet way.
