CAMPING AT BABARAKANDA ⛰️🌄 One of the most unforgettable trips in my life was when we went camping at Babarakanda. We traveled there by bike🏍️, enjoying the cool wind🌬 and the beautiful scenery along the road. My brother and sister came with us, and some of our friends joined the trip too, which made it even more fun.  When we arrived, we set up our tent and decided to stay there for one night. 🌙✨  The place was full of natural beauty.  The tall Babarakanda waterfall, green mountains, and fresh misty air made the environment peaceful and relaxing. We could hear the sound of the waterfall and birds singing around us. 🦜🎼 At night, we made some instant food together and shared stories while sitting near the tent. The sky was full of bright stars, and the cool breeze made the moment feel magical. 🪄 It was a simple trip, but the beautiful nature and the happy time with my family and friends made it a trip I will never forget.💝

It’s not just one incident that made me feel ashamed. There are many. Among them, there is one instances where I was very embarrassed. Because I wasn't a little child then. We roofed our house two years ago.Two of my father's friends helped that. At that time, I was 19 years old. That day, our mother was cooking in the kitchen. Dad had gone to the hardware store to get some equipment. Also, my brother and sister weren’t at home that day. And I was doing my school homework. An one uncle shouted and told me to bring the key. If I remember correctly, he said it was the size 10 key. I really don't know anything about mechanical tools.  I went and gave the house key to Uncle. 😒  He smiled mockingly at me. After that, he showed me that what they call a 'key' is actually a wrench. I felt ashamed of my common sense that day. 🧠🔨

I think love is the most important thing in the world. But does everyone get love? Yes, everyone falls in love in different ways There are, parents’ love, friends’ love, romantic love, love for pets, and love for nature. 💖🌿🐾 I really want a lot of love. But I already get a lot of love. But I still feel lonely. I thought about why it happened like that. Then I realized that I didn't love myself. Why We Can’t Love Ourselves? Yes, it is called self-love. We can take care of our body, mind, and emotions. We can keep our body healthy by eating nutritious food, exercising, and following a skincare routine. And also we must respecting, caring and valuing for ourselves. That is self love.  So when we love ourselves, we find love.🤗❤️

There is a world very close to my heart. It's not a real world. It's a dream world I created in my mind.🌏💭 That world is very different from the real world. In that world, the moonlight 🌙✨  is much brighter than the sunlight. The colour of that moonlight was a beautiful blend of blue and purple. The colour of the leaves on the trees is also similar. And little mermaids 🧚‍♀ fly freely among the trees and flowers.  And in the distance, the moon shone like a  half-moon. And there was a narrow path with small stones. There was also a small stream there. It's just like a magical place in the forest. That environment is very quiet. In that world there was the ability to do anything peacefully without any fuss. Everyone had time. Though it was a desolate place, it did not feel lonely. Happiness and fun were full there. There was no sadness in that place. Time passed very slowly in that world. I imagine this world from the books I read when I was little. So, this is my dream ...

My favorite season is winter. It is the coldest and darkest season of the year. The winter months are December, January, and February . During winter, leaves fall from the trees, and in many countries the ground is covered with beautiful white snow. Wait, wait 🫣 I’m not talking about the winter in Sri Lanka. I’m talking about snowy countries, because many people love snow. Every year, I see the beauty of winter on the news and social media. At that time, I always think, “What if I was born in a snowy country?” If I lived there, I could play in the snow with my friends, build snowmen, and have snowball fights. I would love to walk alone on a quiet road at night, feeling the cold air. In the evening, I could wear a warm sweater, sit near a bonfire with my family, and enjoy a bowl of hot soup. 😍🍜 Winter feels peaceful, magical, and full of beautiful moments. That is why my soul loves winter. ❄️✨
