I watched The Beach last night hoping that it would tickle the traveler side in me. It's shot entirely in Bangkok, a place I've grown to love in five days. But as the story went on, I realized that the film was about to tickle another side in me, my fears.
I love how the people from the island dealt with life in the simplest way. For them, everything was easy, and the only thing to look forward to was the number of years of them growing together in the island.
I thought traveling alone would be more fun since you get to discover everything by yourself. But what if trouble comes, and you have nobody to share it with? The fear, the unknown, the distance away from your comfort zone. I suddenly realized that in as much as I wanted to be away from everything I'm comfortable with, I am still afraid to lose all these comforts. Leonardo was right when he said
~ The only downer is, everyone's got the same idea. We all travel thousands of miles just to watch TV and check in to somewhere with all the comforts of home, and you gotta ask yourself, what is the point of that?~
I still want to travel, discover the unknown, take the road less traveled. but this time, I want to be with someone special. =)
