Love works in mysterious ways. Sometimes we cannot justify why it does not work or why 'the spark' just disappeared. Sometimes love is blind and one of us are afraid to love again or be heart broken again. We just need to be courageous and love with all our heart and be vulnerable. If it doesn't work out, at least we know we tried, and we learn for the experience.
The love we have toward ourselves is the strongest love!
Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme,
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone besmeared with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.
’Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.
So, till the Judgement that yourself arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lovers’ eyes.
From you have I been absent from the spring
When proud-pied April, dressed in all his trim
Hath put a spirit of youth in everything,
That heavy Saturn laughed and leapt with him,
Yet nor the lays of birds nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odor and in hue
Could make me any summer's story tell,
Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew.
Nor did I wonder at the lily's white,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;
They were but sweet, but figures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
Yet it seemed winter still, and you away,
As with your shadow I with these did play.
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
Thou art more lovely and temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darlings buds of May.
And summer's lease hath all too short date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines.
And often is his gold complexion dimmed:
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou'st
Nor shall death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives, and gives life to thee.
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least,
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From Sullen earth sings hymns at heaven's gate:
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

This past summer I stayed at a hotel in southern Sweden for two nights. I spent about SEK 1000 per night, which is about 95 euros. Then, after flying to southern Germany to visit my cousin, I decided to stay at a hostel. I spent about 20 euros per night. Such a big difference in price!
During my stays, I realised many people who book rooms don’t know the difference of accommodation between a hotel and a hostel. Based on my experience, I noticed a substantial number of these travelers believing hostels have similar amenities as hotels. Hostels are much cheaper because you are paying for a bed in a shared room with 8 to 16 people. In a hotel, of course, you are paying for a single room with a bathroom. Choosing between how you want to sleep or share the room is something to really investigate and be true to yourself if it is something that is worth paying for. If you are comfortable sharing a kitchen, a bedroom, toilet, and showers with all guests, then, a hostel is your choice. Keep in mind that because of the low prices during the high travel season from spring to summer, these rooms get booked quickly. In addition, the hostel prices advertised in Booking.com are slightly different than the prices purchased at the reception. Nowadays, it is best to book your accommodation through Booking.com or another travel booking website.
There is that phrase: ‘You get what you pay for!’ This definitely holds true with anything you purchase, but most notably with booking a room at a hotel or booking a bed in a hostel. You may save more money booking a bed in a hostel, but you give up the privacy and your own space. When booking a hotel room, you will pay more at hotel rates, but you get the privacy, room service, and room space.
Did you have any bad hotel or hostel service?
