The Days I Enjoyed Looking at the Eiger Mountain

Everything has been too overwhelming since the pandemic started, so I missed out on a lot of things in my life. This includes updating my blog. For the longest time, I have always wanted to publish a blog post about my random thoughts, but I never really had a chance to do it.

When I decided to go on a Europe trip, I promised myself that I would use my experiences as inspiration to start writing on my blog again. I wanted to start it with my visa application process and probably my daily random stories about the places that I’ve visited. Well, I guess I was wrong because right now, all I want to talk about is how calm and peaceful I am at this exact moment.

I got lucky to have booked a hotel with a balcony view of the Eiger mountain in Grindelwald, Switzerland. I always go to the balcony first thing in the morning and end my day on the same spot. This is the view that I am referring to:

Look at how beautiful that creation is. It still feels surreal that I’m here. I can’t believe that I am right in from of the Eiger mountain. Sometimes I wonder what I have done in the past to deserve this beautiful experience. I will always be grateful for having the chance to visit Grindelwald. There is so much beauty in this place that makes my soul at peace. I feel like I have mentally, emotionally, and physically recharged myself.

Looking at the mountain makes me think about a lot of things in my life. For starters, I’ve always been a happy-go-lucky person who doesn’t make long-term plans. I always go with the flow, to the point that I refuse to make decisions for myself or others. I don’t want to approach situations that will make me choose because it’s too much for me. I want to avoid the responsibility of making a choice and eventually living the consequences of that choice. I know this is something that I need to work on. I hope that one day, the right time will come when I will be able to be brave enough not to just follow the stream but flow in the direction that I’ve created.

Sitting on the balcony while enjoying the magnificent view of the mountain also brings a different euphoria to me. I am so happy, and I wish I could share this happiness with everyone around me! I just want this great feeling to magnify. I am so excited to share the positive energy I’ve loaded up into my system.

Just being here makes me very hopeful about what is about to come. I am prepared, whatever it may be.
