"Living and Exploring Bantayan Island"

In our generation, we encounter different kinds of problems, conflicts and issues in our lives. As a teenager one of my way to relieve my stress is to cope up with it and make myself busy with different things and stuffs. We cannot predict what might tomorrow will bring us. One day we might feel we are the happiest and luckiest people on earth. And then the next day we're the loneliest and saddest people who needs comfort.

For me, the sorrounding has a really big impact to a person especially to it's mental health. We might not notice it but it is a big help that we live with nature sorrounding us. The breeze of the fresh air as it touches my skin makes me feel relieved that I have survived another day. It is like a hug of comfort from nature saying that you're not alone. First thing in the morning, as I go out of our house I can already hear the sound of the waves as it wash up on the sand. It is like a music to my ears saying that a new day has come, more opportunities to arrive and don't lose hope on everything.

In my hometown which is Madridejos, there are 14 different barangays. I was raised and lived my 18 years of existence in one of its barangay called "Malbago" and I am proud that I have a great childhood in here. I remember when almost everyday I would go to the sea and swim with my friends. The times when I was scolded by my mom because i would play the whole day at the seashore. When things were so innocent in my eyes as a child and nothing matters.

Today, seeing the sunrise and sunset was the greatest healing of my tiredness the whole day. It is like a pill that eases all my worries and what ifs in the future. Being with nature and appreciating it calms my mind and soul. As I watch the warm blue sea makes me think how the world was created with so much beauty. It's the simple things that makes the world happier and beautiful. No matter how stress and tiring your day might become, nothing can beat the healing and relieveness of nature can bring.
