“Listen to the Waves”
I am not a calm person. In the past few years I’ve found myself hiding stress inside me and mostly anger that usually came out wrong. For me relaxing, throwing any negativity and sound out of my head, even people, is what I really want to find in the moment. Because I need it, everyone does.
A couple of months ago, I spontaneously decided to fly to Morocco with my cousin and friends to meet our other cousin who would travel across the country for over two months. And so we did, as we landed in Marrakech my heartbeat started going faster, I felt like a child walking into Disneyland.
I love traveling, the fact that it makes me forget everything I’ve left behind. It was me and my friends, nobody else. My goal was to feel completely alone with no past and no future, to feel just for once that it was me in the present, away from home, away from school, away from my life. Nothing matters, just you and the place you are right now.
In Tafedna, a long beach covered in sand dunes, no people around, the sound of the waves was loud and it was like nature played her favorite song. It was in that moment that I really felt alone, calm and relaxed. Laying in the golden sand, not knowing where to look because every part of the place was beautiful, listening to the most magical sound, I was living in the moment and my past and future were both erased.
Sometimes life is beautiful but you need to chase it and most importantly follow the sun!
