Clearing My Mind One Random Thought At A Time
<sub> <center> **Hey! ✨** </center></sub>

When living in a big city, it is hard to find a place to saunter, to immerse myself in the cool breeze and smell of the ground. 

Everyone is on to something- running, rushing, no stopping or slowing down- well, that is what I observed. 😶

I am drowned in thoughts,*just thoughts- positives and negatives*. But I am happy to say that positivity is winning in my head. ☺️ A lot of ideas, projects, and incoming opportunities. (LEZZGO!)

Yeah, the mind can run miles, but the body? I do not think so. 🤷🏻‍♀️

*I am not that teenager who is full of energy that can stay up late and wake up for a 7 AM class. It is different now~*😅


*One of the things that makes me sane is just walking~* ☺️

Having an extra time for a walk or workout is now a luxury, haha. 🥲

## Ahh~ looks at those trees. 🤩It just refreshes my eyes. And to be away from my computer and phone? Oh, I love it! 

It is a bit drizzling, so I can smell the grass and ground. I can’t believe I am seeing at least 50 trees in the middle of a busy city.

This is the University of Santo Tomas- the oldest University in the Philippines, built in the year 1611. So not just the trees I am enjoying, but also the architecture.

And did you know, the Philippines was colonized for 333 years by Spaniards, and so, we have kind of similar-ish concepts like language, food, culture, and many more. 😊

Walking on this pathway, I noticed that the potted plants were well-maintained. I like the round bushes! Benches were on the side of the pathway for resting. 🌳✨

In front of me was an elegant fountain. Its design is a woman lifting an object that I was not sure of. On the sides were deer. I wonder what is the concept of the design
![walk37.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jijisaurart/23wqdypA8Ja8fdsNuW6sPxhcafca1QDRWeEmHy79wKsxDKpvQXnaSLCwqD4EXEghG2o2p.jpg)

It must be something about the history of the place. Whatever it was, it added charm to the place. The sound of the water and the mist made the place cooler. 


![walk38.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jijisaurart/23wqZcnJtaa2zQR8aKXVn3reUdvEKzTcXyssheTiMYzbbH1NirmwEWdUGMFfnViFDx1NT.jpg)


On the side of the fountain is a road used by cars. On the edge is for parking space neatly designed to keep the peaceful atmosphere. I was wondering if some of the people who left their cars here also want a little break, just like me. ☺️ *People who just want a little escape from busy routines~*



![walk39.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jijisaurart/23wqieJJNC8fDAbbEfd2E4ErWzGRSMJtp38jxaZuvD4jHh9Gweua4XdevcWqKAwGTWpEb.jpg)


Before exiting the place, I wanted to walk a little farther just to see the end of this pathway. Along the way were worn-down grass patches. Maybe people take this spot for shortcuts and are absently minded when stepping on it. Maybe a simple sign with a nice reminder would help keep the grass growing.

I turned left and saw a white cat seated quietly on a concrete bench. It was not a surprise to see cats around here. A chubby one, probably well fed. The cat was calm, and its eyes were half closed. I did not want to disturb the cat, did not even call it out. 

## I just took a photo and walked on, letting the moment remain undisturbed. 😺

## My walk ended with some photos of the surroundings and a much clearer mind. I felt like I unloaded some unused files in my head, hehe. 😁✨

What a nice time to breathe and be simple. Just what I exactly needed. 🌳
