~:[CH7 - Day 326]:~ Those We Pass On By

I went to Sliema and St. Julian to wander and see the coastlines. It rained on me on a day I left my coat and didn't take an umbrella. It must have been a sign telling me that I should be exploring Valletta more before I leave. I am glad I did. The beauty of this city is amazing and while there is limited space, there is so much to look at. It made it a little difficult when my Internet went out, but then forced me to just explore and wandering not caring where I ended up. I ended up some place back where I started, but in the end, it was a whole lot better. As I walked through the streets that I passed by the day before. I thought about all the people that I pass by along the way. Have I crossed paths with them before? Where are they from? Are they doing something similar to me? It takes a lot for me to open up and talk to someone, so I never asked, but then again, my wondering may have stopped had I done so. Even when I heard Japanese, I was inclined to ask what part of Japan they were from, but I just left it at that, as a question in my mind. I wondered if I'd ever run into anyone of these people again. It turns out that someone on my ferry in the morning, crossed paths with me later that evening. How many more people did I not noticed. Regardless, the world is a place full of wonder, mystery and beauty. No matter how you do it, where you go and who you are with, soak it all in, knowing that the adventure is not where you are, but how you make the most of the moments you have. Tomorrow I will stop living in this UNESCO Heritage Site and one of the most historic places in the world, there will be a whole different group of people passing me by, but the experience I gain from my day, that will be all up to me. Just like people who pass you by on a daily basis, opportunities to make your day great pass by as well. It's your choice to accept those opportunities or to continue walking by.
