Wanderlust.

"Not all who wander are lost."

Hmm. There's something about bumping into these people who travel the world alone, it made me think. We actually even talked about it, which makes me give a harder thought on it.

Some of these people are very young, they spend a fortune to go around, risking a lot of things regarding their future. Some others are the elderly people, who have had enough of doing work and such. I know it has always been my dream to travel around on my own, I've always thought that it's very cool to do so, very independent of me. But when I see these people travelling alone while myself was in the company of great people, it hits me that, I don't actually wanna do it alone.

It also hits me that all these people travelling alone, they're actually searching for something. They travel around cause there's an emptiness in their heart which they thought could be fulfilled by seeing every parts of the world. They don't wanna go back home cause they know they haven't found that something that they're looking for, though I bet even they don't know what it is. Percaya tak kalau I cakap that something is the right religion of Islam, Allah?

I don't have much point to elaborate on this. It's just what I think when I see these people. It's different for us Muslims, we are encouraged to travel around to learn about their history and learn from them, to spread the deen, also with the intention to see His beautiful creations which in turn will increase our faith in Him. One intention for each of our actions is Lillahita'ala.

I loved travelling, still do and always will. I really hope that every time I travel, my intentions are right, let it be alone or with a group of people. I don't want my journey to just be all about taking pictures and scratching my map, I wish for every steps to every places in my life to be blessed by my dear Lord, Allah SWT. May He always guide my way, I never wanna go astray, never wanna be lost, never again. Inshaallah.
