The Journey 596

Author: The Journey 596

  • A Thank You Note

    A rare occurrence, have not figured out the time frame yet, but when it happens I can feel the butterflies in my stomach. To the person who lifted me up as they cross my path, reminding me that anything is possible, to the one who believed in me, when no one else did. The passion ignitor, the spark that leads me towards my passion. To the adrenaline rush, the one who makes me float on the cloud of happiness, this one is for you.

    Thank you for everything that you have done, you took it upon yourself to show me the world for what it is, you made me aware of the fact that not all people are real. A great mentor, you were, and therefore, I am forever thankful. I was stubborn, but you never gave up, taught me lessons, gave me hope, guided me towards opportunities, yet I didn’t trust you, but you understood, and so you did not judge me. You even put up with my attitude and gave me a chance, but you knew that I was far from being able to trust again, you simply tried, but I let go. Trust is a strong word and has a high rank, and with that high rank if you have given it to the wrong person you could lose it all, therefore, trust is earned, not given.

    For the last time, thank you. Without you enlightening me about life, I would have drowned in a string of lies, and so I am forever grateful for the lessons that you have taught me. They say everything happens for a reason, I used to think that there is no such thing and it is just bad luck, or karma that have mistaken me for someone else. However, Here I am reminiscing about the past, telling the story to the kind soul that saw right through me, saw me for who I really am, and still wanted to be around me.

  • Over Planning

    As I reached a point where I over plan the things that I have already planned for, jotting down every detail, dividing it into manageable small tasks. Now you may wonder, what am I complaining about, well, an X in my life has a due date and I am aware of the result, yet I still make a snake game out of it, with every direction leads straight to the prize, given that there are a few alterations to the prize, however, it is a win either way.

    The sun is fading away behind the mountains, the night is creeping in, and so I must take shelter. Organized my thoughts, refurbished the plan as many times I could until I finally gave in and slept with a smile. Into the realm of thoughts, my soul started to wander joyfully as my body rested, looking for the next step, out mapping the tasks, and looking over the sacrifices that I have to make in order to thrive. Every step along the way, I take in mind the sacrifices I made, and the time it took, irreplaceable time, which keeps me motivated and able to proceed with my journey.

    A beautiful morning, fresh air, a bit windy, and the excitement for the journey increased as the air breeze blew through my hair; for the only view I could see is the road that shall take me to the place where X lies.

  • The Process…

    One step at a time a get closer, one obstacle after the other I fight in order to reach my goal, the final goal. I cannot stop thinking about it, it haunts me that I was drifting away for a long time, distracted, wasting time, not thinking straight, and above all tiring myself on things that do not matter.

    I live my life one day at a time, living in the moment grasping all the feelings and all the hard work, creating memories about the journey that I am in, for when I reach the final goal, I want to look back and see the struggle and battle that I took. Believe in the process, do not rush it, work on yourself every day, improve your skills, challenge yourself, and take risks, for a life without struggle cannot make a person thrive and grow. Listen to your heart, open your eyes, and do not bother about those who have nothing better to do than criticize and spread negativity on you. Feed your mind knowledge, and you shall prosper. Only then you will be able to realize that you are your only limit. Do not get carried away with life, do not take life for granted, I am not being pessimistic, I am just saying this because later in your life you will come to regret the things that you could have done but did not get around to doing it because you were busy “enjoying” your life the wrong way, in other words wasting your life.

    An important lesson that I have learned, if you are tired, do not quit, but rest. Here I am continuing my journey, walking into a new adventure that shall make me grow and take me closer to the final goal.

  • The Light At The End Of The Tunnel

    The path has been forged, sacrifices have been made, for the final goal is far more important than anything right now. Walking down the path with the rules that I believe in, guiding me through my journey, helping me to not drift apart or get distracted. A new start, a fresh one, for the soul is not lost anymore; I have found myself, those long nights in the dark without any electronics distracting me from the confrontation. The confrontation that I have been ignoring, the constant battles that I get wrecked from, are now of the past.

    In the dark, a series of questions have been asked and answered simultaneously, and a record passed to me of all the actions and conversations that have been taken, only then I came to know about the reality of things, and so everything became clear. I have been distracted a lot, I have my reasons of course but I have got everything figured out. A mere smile has turned into a smirk, I could see the light, the one they talk about “at the end of the tunnel”, however instead of me going towards it, it is rushing towards me chasing after the darkness, and there I let go of the darkness.

    As the light strikes my eyes, the image of a beautiful road smacked in the middle of a garden of trees and flowers, I can smell the adventure the await, as I get excited and my heart starts to pump fast, I knew that the journey has begun.

  • The Revelation

    Dear *****,
    As the work piled up, and there is no way out; fear strikes, and therefore I have come to realize that the thing that was holding me back is none other than myself, I have been blaming others for my own flaws, and there it became easier for me to quit, for when fear strikes the slightest difficulty that crosses your path, the negativity takes over and I become vulnerable, and so I start to look for something or someone to blame for the things that I must accomplish but scared of the result, and so backing out was the solution.

    There it goes, I was that pathetic person who is so afraid of failure that I avoid challenges when I am left alone, and so I do not even try. However, even in that, I have failed, thankfully. Thinking that avoiding the challenges will keep me safe, but soon I started to have feelings of pity and sadness about myself, teaching me that in order to grow challenges must be taken. I said that even in failure I have failed because in order to be a failure you constantly drive away from difficult situations, well that does not go well with me for I get myself into things and then I manage to finish them.

    The moral of the story is pushing yourself to achieve your goals, even if it is far from your grasp, work hard, take on the obstacles, fight for your dreams and accomplish your goals. Do not give up halfway through, or when things get tough, learn to rest but never quit. Look how far you have come, and then you will realize that anything is achievable if you set your mind to it.

    Yours Faithfully,

    ***** *******

    P.S. Do not over plan ever, for that will make you procrastinate, then you will end up accomplishing nothing.

  • Meddling…

    People, what can I say about them, curious creatures, snooping around others lives, not necessarily caring, just to find out your weakness, or how to make you uncomfortable of the choices that one have made.

    Meddling with your life, trying to feel good about themselves for they have been manipulated in their past life and so to be fair they are doing the same to others. Doing whatever they can to make me hate them, but what they do not know about me is that no one can manipulate me I am always one step ahead, I can lead you into thinking that you are manipulating me, just to make a joke out of you without you being aware of what is happening.

    Stay away from one’s path for not all can ignore your interference, some may hurt you if you try to map out their lives for them, and you will end up feeling regret for making yourself feel worthless.

  • Starting Over

    Standing on top of the mountain, breathing heavily, anxious, for I am about to start my journey. I am thankful for everything that has happened in the past, and for the friends that I have gained over the years, and I am thankful for the choices that I made, for I learned valuable lessons. Farewell to the past, farewell to the memories, and a new book shall unfold.

    A new chapter is about to begin, as I start to descend from the mountain, heading towards the foggy forest, a long deserted path, that no one has walked on before, this time it feels the right one, and so I am creating my path here. It is a long road, and I am going to meet new people who shall take part in my journey, and then we will part ways for each one has their dream to follow.

    Do not get caught in the moment because once you do you it will be hard to focus on your goal. There is time for everything, so enjoy life, but knowing how to prioritise, and having what it takes to stay focused, be presistent is what makes a difference.

  • Trust…

    The Intel I got about them was correct, according to the witnesses that I have questioned. I have to make sure, I want to see for myself if the accusations were true, for I have blindly trusted them. Trust has become worthless, for the humans have become more dangerous than ever, for they believe their own lies. Now, not only they are the dominant species, but each clan is trying to become dominant over the others.


    I am going undercover, infiltrating their clan, investigating, trying to find the truth. Now that I feel like I am becoming one of them, I am disgusted for what I have become in order to seek the truth. How sad, I have figured that even inside the clan no one trusts each other, and so it became clear to me, how low we humans have become. The earth is tainted with greed, and cruelty, trust has become a myth.


    Learn this my fellow human’s trust cannot be given, for it must be earned. It is of great value if you have found the one you could trust, for then life becomes easier because then everything will be shared by the two of you.

  • Who Is The Writer ?

    Every morning, I take my fountain pen and journal along with me to the beach, sitting in my favorite spot, where the beautiful breeze hit my head, refreshing my thoughts, the view of the endless sea, ignites my imagination, and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, calming the rush in my heart.

    Opening the journal, skimming through the past, slowly I enter a state of trance where I relive the past that has been recorded in the journal, it ends as it reaches the empty. A blank page where I choose the setting, the characters, the plot, the resolution, and finally the conflict. Continuing the story that is far from ending, as each day there is a plot twist that prevents me from ending it. As though I am writing a story that does not belong to me, no matter how many times I try to end it, a shadowy character enters the story, making tiny changes to leave the story unresolved.

    I have tried capturing this ghostly figure many times, unfortunately, as soon as I get closer to him, my part in the story begins, and it knows that it is important to me, and so I am writing a story, in a story that has already been written.

    “There Is Still Hope”

  • It Is Time…

    Leaving, I am no longer welcomed here, nor will I let anybody hold me back, I am moving on. I packed my bags, and I am all set to begin a new chapter, or rather start a new story. Moving out is a great experience, it teaches you a lot of skills, and most importantly you mature and grow as an independent individual.

    Deciding to ride the rollercoaster of life alone, is a big step that anyone could take; it means depending on yourself in everything, supporting yourself, paying the bills and making the right choices that shall take you closer to your goal. Embarking on a life journey, with a dream in your heart that you are trying to accomplish, and a plan that you are trying to implement into the unpredictable world.

    You only know the final aspect of your journey, it is visible to your eyes, but the path that leads you to it is foggy. It is not the destination that is your reward but the lessons that you have learned, and the skills acquired along the way to it. Reaching it is just a bonus, think of it as getting the merit for completing the journey.
