Travel Nostalgia

Stories have the power to transform our perceptions of the world. (TEDTalk)

Seita (my Toshiba laptop) is a bit slow the past few weeks so I decided to do some cleaning and purge some files. As I was rummaging through old files and came across some indexed photos I haven't opened for quite a while I suddenly felt nostalgic about some travel photos especially during my College and early years as a working professional.

I realized I haven't wrote anything about them and chances are with our family's medical history, they will be forgotten because of Alzheimer's or Dementia (if the articles were true about a link with genetics).

It would be a waste of not documenting and telling the stories of these events that have been very important in life. So I thought of writing about them while I still remember, well, posterity and nostalgia.

Borrowing Maya Angelou's words "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." and honestly, I have been thinking about writing something about them for a while now and it starts to bug me inside.

So, I'm challenging myself to write stories again - stories of happy adventures and wonderful places I've been to.
