What is your favorite place to go in your city?
I love overlooking places, whether I can see the vastness of the ocean facing the blue skies. Or witnessing the distance between the skies and terrain. There’s this place, a shrine where my eldest sister took me to offer prayer and play at the nearby park. It was located uphill, the road was steep and narrow. Before you could get to it, you’d be gasping for some air.
Solemn..
The moment I set foot, my eyes were captivated by the solemnity of the place. When I saw that spot where I could watch the ocean from afar, the trees and bushes of green, the skies and the sun. I thought to myself, this is the place!
Safe haven..
When I was allowed to go out on my own, on weekends, or whenever I was told to run some errands. I would always go there, lay in the grass and stare at the skies. It became a habit, a good one! I felt so peaceful and relaxed, it was a place where I could speak to my soul and rest my worries and stresses. Whenever I feel mentally unstable, I get to rest there without having to worry about anything. It was the only shrine that I have known, a catholic shrine.
