If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same
"If" by Rudyard Kipling
When the train chugged out of the station and her pals waving her farewell faded into the distance, it still hadn't sunken into her that she'd never return in the near future like she'd wished.
Never had she thought that the day would come so soon, a day when she'd move out, leaving something she'd liked and someone she'd loved behind.
Life's so unpredictable. Nothing works according to plan. She'd been there for a reason she still doesn't know why. A year after she moved in and when she got her special something, she'd decided to stick on for a considerably long while. She loved the place, the people, the culture, every bit of it. But this world being dynamic, nothing stays one way too long. The time came too soon when she began to feel out-of-place, frustrated with life, and, everyone and everything around her just added to the dejection. It was at this point that she realized that the time had come to go on.
Half a decade ago, she'd met a person, one who stood out from the rest. Never had she known then, that fate would bring them together again, a day she'd never forget. She was glad for whatever happened, the way it happened; but love ain't a one-way street, you just can't cross your fingers and wait for a miracle to happen. Didn't wait again, moved on...
Buddha once said, there are two mistakes in life: NOT STARTING THE JOURNEY, and NOT GOING ALL THE WAY. Life has no meaning if you begin the journey without knowing the end. This was her mistake, her dreams ended abruptly cos she never went all the way.
