Random thought on the train

Back to Tashkent the previous night after 26 hours of more or less no sleep at KLIA plus 8 hours long no-time-for-rest flight. My first night back in Tashkent gone restless, with no cap. Now, I have just had 2 hours nap on my way to Navoi, still exhausted. Had only 5-6 hours of sleep when adding the numbers in the last 3 nights.

But fuck it. how come you can rest when it’s your last 5 nights in your country?

Frankly, I loved being 18. Access to many things — allowing you to do adult activities. Visited over 5 countries, and more than 10 cities. At some point, I thought about deferring my university and doing backpack travel even though I almost got shot in Kuala Lumpur few days ago. However, why I should put temporary joy over my long-term goals? No big moves in the game.

Regardless of anything, if you have time and will [you don’t need that much money to travel], just go for travel. You don’t have to literally go abroad. For those in their gap years and tired of academic pressure, just save up 300$ and get a bike. Explore the Uzbekistan. Go out of your comfort zone and travel for 1 month. It’s fair enough time to see almost every hidden-gems in Uzbekistan!


But please, do it after college application😅
