The Chronicles of Rains – Vol. 2

UPTOSTYLE 1

We all live double lives.  At the moment we are given birth, we begin our voyage through our inner and outer world. These two lives complement each other. 

All of us are born archeologists, but not in the literal meaning of this word. We make unguided discoveries. During the first years of our journey, we are exploring the concrete world, such as toddling, mimicking the way people around us move their lips and waving.

In addition to this, we are trying to get used to the outside conditions: the rays of the scorching sun, wind-blown autumn leaves, and the first snowfall.

After this first period, we start excavating the upper layers of our inner world, because the world we live in and work in is a reflection of our personal experiences. 

Our soul and mind are complex, after the upper layers come to the ones laying deep down, such as our subconscious.  And there’s another thing to remember: you have the power to change your life through your journey. Hence you have to be adventurous, look for new opportunities to discover who you are. You are the one who leads your voyage of exploration.
