travel alone....

then all your pretensions fall down,
the real you emerges...

even if you are with a close friend,
even if he/she knows all about you
or even if you don't want to be away from any person,
and all such excuses,
merely indicate, you need to travel alone, my friend.

it takes a few moments (or days) of lone travel,
to reach the real you, inside...
so give that time for self,
as everything starts from there,
even the old excuses, you keep giving.

and to overcome those excuses,
just travel alone...
to strange places, where you dont know anyone!

travel alone... 
to meet people, otherwise you would never
have a sane reason to meet,
expand your awareness about self
and about cultural beliefs & opinions...

travel alone, my friend...
to meet like minded people,
who believe in being positive,
to be in harmony, to be balanced
to be pushed into new experiences...

and travel alone my friend...
to be a hippie...
its no religion, not even a commune,
but a way of thinking..
but if the word hippie scares you,
dont travel alone, stay home in comfy chair
because thats you then, doing your thing..

finally, yes, travel along my friend...
to connect with the universe...
as its when you interact with total strangers,
you find your true self, unmasked and real.

and that gives you happiness,
like you never felt before,
that you don't even think
about updating your status online,
or maybe you will do!

travel alone is not being alone...
its not about being lost in yourself,
take initiative to open up to others,
and be yourself...

being yourself means,
break away from old patterns and doubts
challenge your conditioned & predictable personality
make yourself a new person for others and that place.

travel alone, my friend...
you have suffered enough,
its time to rediscover your inner child
add nature to your friend list...
