Assimilation

 əsɪmɪˈleɪʃ(ə)n]

NOUN

  1. the process of taking in and fully understanding information or ideas.
    "the assimilation of the knowledge of the Greeks"
    • the absorption and integration of people, ideas, or culture into a wider society or culture.
      "the assimilation of Italians into American society" 

I'm pretty good at it that I sometimes lose myself. 

I am here, not home but not somewhere unfamiliar. We just need a change of environment. A little bit of sun. A little humidity. A change of routine.

I'm still a little tired from the journey yesterday but I refused to miss my workout routine. So, I managed to get some sleep and late lunch and I was working out for about 20 minutes. I am pushing myself to stay on track with my diet and intermittent fasting but honestly, I'm not doing a very good job.

This isn't a complaint. I am blessed to be in a place where food is abundance and cheap. I see people happy just living their simple and happy lives.

I just wish that people have more sense to be more responsible towards the environment. At least the environment they borrow for free. Beaches are beautiful. Beaches are perfect for picnics. They just won't stay that way if you don't clean up your mess.

We used to think it was a generation problem. It's just a mentality problem. In the city. In small towns. In villages. There is no sense for just collecting your trash in just one place and take it with you until you have access to a proper disposal point.

It's frustrating enough to see trash washing up from the sea. You can't just leave your trash anywhere, really. It's fucking irresponsible. How inconsiderate and self-centered do you have to be to just think that someone will clean it up? Are you stupid?
