Life is like a train that carries us through places with many other passengers. Sometimes, on the train we feel like we are moving, yet, there are stops, we wonder we should get off and explore. Sometimes, we want to keep some companions, other times, we would like to go on our own. Every of us is an adventurer while trying to figure out a destination.
There might be moments where we wonder why we are on the train in the first place, why not just staying on ground. There would be time in which the train pauses for quite some time due to weather condition or traffic or technical issues. Yet, we are soon worried that how we are going to sustain on the train.
Here and there, we might meet grumpy passengers, or very lovely ones. Although, whoever we treasure might end up leaving us. It is sad but also hopeful, because now there is space for new adventurers. The moments matter. Whether it is ugly or pretty. Whether we want to accept it or not. Like the dirt will fade, our longing for people and adventure never persists.
The question remains how might we make our train ride more meaningful. It is up to us to make new friends, build relationships, create moments, and then when we are ready to get off the train forever, we save those memories on the earth. Soon, no one might remember us anymore. We do not ride the train, nor a train builder, we are just passengers who make up a space on the train. What we do there however contributes to the train experience.
There are times, we tempted to get back to previous stop, perhaps, to enjoy the scenery a little more. And, no matter how much we try to plan, the train just could not accommodate. Delays happen, seats might not be available, sketchy people here and now. Though, the next stop might be better, what is there to justify “better” anyway.
Do not forget, it is okay to forget the train for just a second, to let your heart flow with what attracts you. The sound of the wheels moving will be there to remind you how much you are appreciated as a passenger. Nothing is too much or too little, too good or too bad. Take things as they are. What comes will come, what needs to end will end. Never stop venturing, or imagining about the next stop. Never to ignore the current one either. All are beautiful. Never too worried, never too eager, just be.
