Try to wait at the airport’s arrival section.
I officially admit that airport is my favorite place. Why?
I have been standing here in the arrival doors for an hour waiting for my mom returning back from Indonesia. Every 2 minutes someone would come out from that doors and you know, their eyes would start scanning the area to see that one relative or friend that they haven’t seen for a long time.
Hugging, crying even wondering whether someone will be there at the end of their journey.
You can’t imagine how many positive emotions and energy you can feel in an area where hopes and memories are recreated.
European Mother and daughter moments coming together after 3 years not seeing each other. Someone from India coming for the first time to the country with her husband bringing flowers and balloon to surprise her. Even there is also this family waiting all together just for their daughter to show up from a long flight way beyond the continent.
Honestly, standing there waiting for my mom at the Arrival area taught me a lot about putting my shoes on others.
It gives such a sensible feeling that “This world doesn’t just turn for the sake of you.”
So it’s nice. Seeing those moments in person. The smiles you get, and the unique feeling of joy that suddenly boosts from your surroundings.
Other things that I realized.
A small presence of a certain person physically can mentally change how you see and live life differently.
