The Journey..


The bumps on the road are there to make us stronger. The winding turns and steep hills, serve as a reminder that we are alive. But often, we break down along the side of the road. We run out of fuel. We over heat. And its during these times that we need to rest, recover and recommit to the journey. The journey will have amazing sites. You'll see beautiful sunsets. You'll feel the wind in your hair. You'll sleep peacefully.
They also say that the sights along the road should be enjoyed with an open heart beating next to you*. Someone who is travelling in the same direction. And sure, we meet up with hitchhikers along the way, they travel with you for a bit, but then they start heading in a different direction and we part ways. And different hitchhikers teach us different lessons, we need to turn the music down and listen to whats being taught. And these lessons make us stronger. These lessons give us insight. We need to see the lessons. Take it in and make it part of ourselves.

The trick, they say, is to keep going, no matter what. No matter how dark and cumbersome the road gets. No matter how tired and sick you are.No matter the rockfalls, the potholes and the speed bumps. You need to keep moving forward. Hard as it may seem.

The sunset are so worth it!
