Take any road today (the world is already yours).

It matters not where you go, what path you take, or how you get there. It matters only that you are going. Every road is a thoroughfare, which connects one to the other; the other to the future. The future to the past. Take one today and you shall be following the footsteps of the millions that went before you, as you too shall be followed soon after by the millions yet to come.

Because, you see, life does not ever really change that much. A thousand years ago, life was trying to survive. And the fact that you are here today, means that it was successful. You are therefore, its success story. But what we do, is not any different. We are still only trying to survive.

Thus, whether you are pragmatic, romantic, or irrational; your approach to life head on, or slightly hesitant – your existence remains an accumulation of everything that has already happened, and everything that has yet to happen. You are the driver inside the vehicle; you are the passenger in the back seat; you are the tarmac that ensures your smooth ride; the trees, and the sun.

Therefore, go! Take off now, and go where you must, but never forget that every thing you are bound to encounter is already a part of you. And the beauty of every sunset that always tends to take your breath away, is only your reflection. And hers. And his. And theirs.
