Đà Lạt - Alone healing time

I have always found ways to escape to a different city to heal myself, mostly Da Lat, because of how peaceful it is. Oddly, I sleep better, heal better, and breathe better there. I always think less and worry less whenever I’m in Da Lat. It is such a healing place for me. Da Lat has always been relaxing and peaceful for those who seek it. I would always wake up early, grab a book, and go to a nearby coffee shop, to start the day. A good way once in a while to jump-start my creativity and motivation to get shits done.

There is a debatable opinion that I always thought to myself: why would I go to a cafe alone in Saigon? I always thought that was a waste of time, I live alone, I could make coffee and read at home, why do I need to waste money and do that somewhere else? So I thought. Then the habit of going to the cafe alone early in the morning started as every time I went to Dalat, I would wake up early, get ready, and go to a coffee shop to read, jot down notes on my memories or things that I read in the book, and drink coffee. I enjoy being alone, enjoying the place without any interruption from others but only the sound of coffee making. But somehow, it only happened in Dalat; I never go to a coffee shop alone in Saigon. I never do it, until today. Being in a relationship is fun and all, but being able to enjoy things alone without feeling lonely is great, you don’t have to wait for someone else, nor do you have to wait for them to choose what to do. 

The comfort of being able to relax your mind and body heals everything.
