barefoot

I was staring blankly at my computer with thoughts wandering nowhere and too tired of thinking when suddenly I felt the need to remove my shoes to release that something inside me that I can't explain.

I love the feel of my feet on the cold floor and the cooling sensation it brings to my legs. Sitting here alone in this corner of this unlit room, removing my shoes was like stepping into an enchanted world...a place where I can be myself...barefoot...relaxed...dancing like a princess...singing and shouting to my heart's content...undaunted by the time and demands of the real world I came from.

Barefoot means freedom. It's 2 days more to go before the semestral break that have been dying to have. I felt so choked up by the people around here...the things demanded from me and the thesis i have to finish by this week. Last night, without hesitations, I went straight from the meeting to Quirino Ave. to look for that new small hotel around the area. The time I stepped inside the cozy lobby of Midori Inn, I felt that it was home for me. After 15 minutes inside, I just booked myself with a one night stay this saturday and left the inn with a feeling of freedom.

I want to be away from home....I want to be alone and be able to finish the thesis that I have to complete. I need this time alone to be with myself...to look back and think about my future.

I need this like my tired and restless feet needing the comforts of the tiled floor.
