In the Land of Ice and Fire

I may sit squeezed, but it’s worth it,

exploring those beautiful wonders,

a landscape that is so rough, yet so fascinating,

getting soaked by the rain,

while the sun paints a rainbow,

that puts a smile on my face.

I may freeze, but it’s worth it,

a thousand lights are dancing in the sky,

my hands can barely hold the camera,

while I am creating memories,

that for the rest of my life,

will only be mine.

I look relieved, and it’s worth it,

floating in the milky blue waters,

bubbling at 38 degrees,

with a little drink in one hand,

and a beauty mask on my face,

I deserve the relaxation.

You may believe, it’s not worth it,

not being able to share experiences,

exploring the world alone,

eating dinner by yourself,

having time to think,

having time to soak it all in.

But I’ll preach that it’s worth it,

living the life you dream of,

choosing adventures every day,

learning and appreciating

life’s little wonders,

even by yourself.
