This journey is a mixture of emotions and feelings to explain which, I don't have words. Journeys always have a story to tell or a lesson to teach. There is always something or someone you leave behind or something or someone waiting for you at the destination. Some journeys are just a way to escape the reality. Like the one I am traversing right now. A journey can teach you patience, compassion, sharing, to be friendly, observation etc. For me it is the lesson of acceptance. Accept everything from the fact that your much sought after window seat belongs to someone else, to the fact that to be with the person you love is not your choice. To get away from the mundane hours, I have left my mind idling amid the alley of disconnected thoughts. Even Metallica's Nothing Else Matters seems a bunch of meaningless words blaring through the ear phones. I would say that all journeys carry an element of uncertainty. You have no idea what could happen along the way. You don't even know if you would ever reach the destination. There is almost no difference between this journey that I am on and my journey called life except that here I know my destination. When it comes to life, I am totally clueless of the destination and leave it to destiny. I am left with no option but wait and watch. While I continue to do it just as how I have been doing since the last couple of months, I am subconsciously aware that the song has changed to They Were All Yellow. Be it Yellow or Red or Blue, my only concern is how long will I be able to savor it... The journey called life. Nothing else matters...
