Hello my loves!
Usually when I visit Sri Lanka I learn so much, and really take in a lot. Such as how I should appreciate every little thing I've got... How something I'm ungrateful for is something that someone actually needs, or how things I want aren't what I actually need to be happy.
On my last trip to Sri Lanka I was walking out of a chemist where I saw a white dog laying down, he was skinny and dirty, was out all day in the blazing sun and looked malnourished.
Being an animal lover, I couldn't bear to see this... I walked back into the shops and got some bread rolls and a bottle of water... I took it out to the dog, and the dog didn't know what to do with himself... It's like he never had seen fresh water or food for that matter.
There's been times where I've even seen small children play on unlevelled cricket pitches using a stick as a bat, but they were still smiling and laughing... All they needed was loving family and friends to be happy. Material items don't bring happiness, the people around us do.
Sri Lanka taught me to help those who can't help themselves, regardless of their race, age, gender, religion or even species.
Everyone needs someone at some point of their life, even if it's just a shoulder to cry on or someone to listen to what's on their mind without being judgemental. We all need someone to lean on.
So be good people, everyone has their own struggles... be nice, be kind, be humble. You'll live a fulfilled life if we all simply follow these steps.
For now take care my loves.
