Finding Peace at the Top

By: Haziq Asyraf

 There’s something magical about hiking. At first, I never really thought I’d enjoy it. The early mornings, the long climbs, the burning legs it all sounded tiring. But the moment I reached the top and saw the view with my own eyes, everything changed. This photo was taken during one of my recent hikes. I sat down for a while, breathing in the fresh air, taking in the peaceful surroundings, and letting my mind just rest. No stress, no noise just nature and me. That moment reminded me that sometimes, you need to struggle a little to find clarity. Hiking became more than just a physical activity for me it became a form of therapy. Every step up the hill felt like a step away from everything that’s been weighing me down. And when I reached the top, I realized… it was worth it.
