Wednesday Walk to the City of Firsts

in Wednesday Walk2 years ago

Hello! This is my first time posting in this community, so let me share with you my first Wednesday walk.

I really love to walk, especially at night, just cause everything feels different. It's very calm and relaxing and I can't explain why, it's really clear my mind from everything that I'm thinking. It's like the world stops spinning and that's only the time that you are not in a hurry, and we can all rest from the pressure of the world. When the sun has set, the air is cooler, and everything is quieter, I find it to be quite soothing. I felt that I could take it all in with my senses and that my mental focus had improved.

I work the night shift, and nighttime walking is great. Sometimes, it is calming to be alone. The aroma of flowering plants is much more intense. The city light is so bright that it looks like a star from afar, it's beautiful.

Anyway, I'm working in the city they called, the "City of Firsts", At first, I was also curious why it was called a City of Firsts, so I went to Google and searched for it. So, the result says it is called the city of firsts because the famous Araneta Coliseum, the New Frontier Theater, Farmers Plaza, and Farmers Market were all firsts for urban living in this area.

This is the picture that I took at the Bus station in Araneta City, where I usually drop off, so this is me, on my way to work. Look, at how busy the area is during rush hour. So because I'm a night shifter, I always caught them going home while starting my day. I'm sometimes also grateful that I'm working at night because I can get caught in 5:00 PM end-of-shift traffic.

So, I think that's already 12am when I decided to go outside of the office to look for a coffee since I was already feeling the sleeping cells in my head and I needed to energize. And look, how peaceful the road is, I can only spot some people from the area who are taking breaks from work, and some people who are busy with something, which makes me wonder why they need to suffer their sleeping hours for that, maybe there's an emergency or what, there's a lot of reasons. And that's exactly why I really love the feeling of nighttime, it's mysterious and you can really observe a lot of things from different perspectives, from the city light, non-busy roads, and the people who are in it.

And this is my Vietnamese coffee that's already empty. I didn't notice that my coffee was already half when I got back from the office since I enjoyed walking outside.

Sometimes the best break is, walking outside the office at night while sipping your favorite coffee, thinking about life also your mistakes, and thinking about how will you correct them. This is what I did during my Wednesday walk, self-reflection is really good, especially at night. I really came back to work, energized and happy.

That's it for my #WednesdayWalk, an initiative of @tattoodjay.
