Here’s to the people who are now walking on a zigzag road of their lives:
I know that it’s tough, but I want to say that I am proud of you for choosing to continue the journey, no matter how hard it is for you. It feels like you are walking the same curvy road that will lead you to another and another and another. It feels like a never-ending road full of challenges, but no matter how tired you are, you’re still here—fighting and surviving. For that, I am really proud of you. I know that it’s not easy to be on a path of uncertainty, but the real thing is that we are all walking on a path where we don’t have any idea where it will lead us. For some, they found a stopover that makes them happy, some found a stopover that makes them financially stable, some found a stopover that takes them in the line of fame, some found a stopover that allows them to find who they really are, and for some people, they are still on the road and searching for a stopover. Here’s a thing: stopovers are not the destination.
People might feel the comfort of it, but they have to continue moving because, just as I’ve said, it’s not a destination. For as long as we are alive, we will continue to walk and find a lot of stopovers that we have to leave sooner or later. So to you who are currently walking as if there’s no tomorrow just because you’re so eager to find a stopover that will satisfy you, take it a little bit easy. Don’t stress yourself out if you can’t find it yet. You might be a thousand challenges away from it, but if you will just keep on moving forward, if you will just be kind to yourself as you move forward, you’ll appreciate the stopovers more because you know you enjoy the trip to get there.
