Back Trails Goes Twitter

Lost the affinity to have to many online accounts a long time ago.

But in the absence of those moments when I can write full about this or the travel, a quick photo post and note will do.

Here it goes! http://twitter.com/backtrailsph
   

On Travel and Confinement

“Travel broadens...” says the book* I am currently reading. Entirely true whenever you do it for it gives you different viewpoints, realizations, enables you to meet different people, among many others.

Equally (perhaps more) broadening is when you are stalled, when you are hindered from going outside. It allows you to take stock of the past – mistakes, triumphs, and everything in between – and get a better sense of where you are right now and where you are headed.
  

It’s exactly the thought running through my head right now as I nurse multiple flesh wounds and a number of stitches. A recent event changed me physically. And I know deep down it has changed on how I view life now.

Makes me cherish more the time I have so far and the travels I had with the people I care about.

And makes me look forward to the moment when I can finally go outside and enjoy places, people, food, etc., without carrying grudges over the incident.

Been adhering to a specific form of philosophy but one thing it does not change is the deeply-entrenched belief that life – in all of its forms – carry with it an inherent character of optimism, of joy, of hope.

A Back Trails Revisit

All those words about starting anew seemed to have gone down the drain.
All those thoughts about sharing travels seemed to have reached an invisible barrier.

“Busy-ness” cannot be used as an excuse.
Work cannot be used as an excuse.

I just stopped writing. I just stopped sharing.   
I have grown. I have grown old.
   

  
Since this blog has become more personal through the years, it is only high time that its continuous existence be sustained with new entries. And maybe in retracing the features of this Blogger dashboard, I can fire up my initiative and even surpass the level of enthusiasm I knew I had when Back Trail was just beginning.

Hopefully by opening a Back Trails Twitter Account, I can readily do the sharing aspect and reinforce this blog with those live and quick posts.

As always: Back Trails lives on!
