Journey of Life

Your footprints travel through the journey of life struggling to reach the destination you have set for yourself. The aim of your life is known in a better way to you than anyone else. This aim which I do not know if is your destination. Design of these prints change as you tumble & you hold these pebbles responsible for being an obstacle in your journey.

In this tiresome yet tireless journey of life we shake hands with many & there are others who are passer bys. Some enter our lives as friends & some truly remain as friends.
Some we call companions while some accompany us throughout our journey.
There are people who influence us positively & then they decide to leave us. While there are some who do not influence us in any way & still pointlessly stay in our lives.

A stranger you trust blindly & a friend whom you trust after unintentional analysis are both capable of wiping off the meaning of trust in our lives. We let our friends know ourselves by sharing what is deeply felt by us. We take the risk of telling other human beings what & how we really are.

Some take advantage of this innocent relationship & throw pebbles on our way. While some passer bys see us falling & offer us a helping hand. We thank them & we fall into a relationship again. There’s no escape to love, friendship & care. There’s no escape to relationships.

Essence of life is in meeting these people who touch our lives in their own ways. It is in thinking about the change they bring in us. Essence of life is in losing these people who cause pain to us in their own ways. It is in learning a lesson every time we fail in a relationship.
