So this cruise, is something I've never planned or imagined ever in my life. The opportunity came to me when I was sitting idle in my room with a mind wandering to places. Thanks to my retirement, I got to meet new people. Also, had alot of time to invest in productive things. I wasn't prepared at all for this journey. Some familiar voice in my head kept on telling me that this is one such opportunity which wouldn't knock on my door for a second time. This is the only chance left for me to find where my happiness truly lies in.

Away from people I know, away from my comfort zone, far away from the goddamn land itself was a dare I wasn't ready to take. It took time, but not so long though, to say hello to the real world. I kept feeding my mind that I could do it. That I'm brave enough. That I'll find answers for myself. Finally, I set my foot on the cruise.

TBH, I didn't ask my friend about our stops. Nor did he tell me. He kept saying, something special, something best, is gonna happen to me. For the first few days I looked at the ocean with fear. When I say how much I love the ocean, I guess meant only the surface and waves which could be seen from the beach. In the middle of nowhere, where a piece of land can only be imagined, the ocean was scary. The blue waves I used to like, was then giving me less peaceful sleep. Every other member on the yacht seemed fine. It was only me who grasped on almost everything while walking around. The sound of wind, the sound of ocean, stirred my mind. It took me few more days to realize that I didn't make a mistake. Why?
