Today’s morning walk turned into an unexpected little adventure. After a couple of years, I decided to take a longer route and explore the neighbourhood—and wow, I was honestly shocked! So many new buildings have popped up, and it’s no longer that quiet lane I remembered. Families have moved in, kids playing around, aunties chatting, and even new shops and small markets have come up.
It felt like stepping into a completely new area, even though it’s the same place I’ve lived for years. What surprised me most was how much life has filled in over time—I guess I was too caught up in routine to notice.
The cool breeze and perfect sunlight made the whole experience even better. It turned into a “me time” kind of morning that felt refreshing in every sense. No noise, no hurry—just walking and soaking in the changes around me.
Sometimes, we don’t need a vacation… we just need to walk around our own block after a long time.
