Hello there! I am Marjorie and welcome to my backpack reflections. Dakilanglaagan contains my thoughts and sentiments about traveling, hiking, and adulting. I'm not really a superb writer, but I write nonetheless. Life is too short to be consumed by other people's comments. Let's pursue what keeps us sane.

You who love someone else, I love you.

That's the thing with people. We try so hard to be happy. You don't chase after your happiness. You savor it.

Many will not understand the decisions that we make. There are times when our choices are beyond other people's comprehension – but who cares. This year, let us dedicate our lives in the pursuance of what makes us happy – with or without the acknowledgment of others.

Know that even in your hardest moments, you must breathe. Feel lighter. You are a fighter.

Let’s not label 2021 as ‘our year’ and let’s not label anyone as ‘the one,’ because rarely do people live up to this label and sometimes we don’t even live up to our own expectations either. In 2021, let’s not be too hard on ourselves. Let’s not put pressure on ourselves or deadlines or expiration dates. Let’s forgive ourselves for the mistakes we’ve done and for not knowing any better. Let’s give ourselves credit for surviving one of the craziest years in history. In 2021, let’s leave all the damage behind and start building a whole new foundation.

We’ve almost reached the end of 2020. It may be a hard year for everyone, but that does not change the fact that we are still here, surviving this far, to get through this together. It is an unusual year for everybody – that is why it’s mattered. We’ve learned to cherish moments more, to appreciate the people around us, to embrace every new day as an opportunity to rise. We’ve learned not to take life for granted, to show gratitude for everything that happened. We’ve let the situation shape us into a greater form, to be prepared for the next battle in life.

Let's admit it: 2020 is such an awful year. A lot has happened within a year. There are still goals beyond our reach. There are still scars that haven’t healed. And the year that comes ahead of us remains uncertain.

Fall in love with the lights and the cities, not the sadness and the heartbreak. Fall in love with the people in your life that you already have with you, the ones that give you reasons to be happier when you start your day. Fall in love with the way you catch yourself laughing for no reason and everyone looks at you like you’re crazy. Fall in love with the moment that you don’t wish you could go back to because you took it all in, instead of being on your phone. Fall in love, the kind that doesn’t have expectations or disappointments because you are sure of the only outcome being joy.

Sisikat at sisikat pa rin. ❤️❤️❤️

I usually wake up the earliest during camps. Maybe it's the body clock that's so attuned to start morning hustle at five. Or maybe I just don't sleep at all, after the socials at night.

Trails and Tales for you!
