The Journey That Never Ends
Hello travelers! I guess I should really be saying farewell, but I'm having a tough time accepting the fact that this will be my last post on Roam Sweet Roam.
You know, I had some major doubts when I created this blog. I would ask myself, Can I talk about travel for a whole 10 weeks? Will I be able to entertain my audience and keep their interest? All those months ago, I seriously didn't know if Roam Sweet Roam was the thing for me, but now that I'm here writing my last post, I couldn't have imagined choosing any other topic than travel.
To be quite honest, I almost feel sort of nostalgic, much like how I felt when I knew I was going to be graduating high school and leaving those times behind. I've been working on this blog for so long now. It's a little piece of me, and I'm kind of sad to see it go. I've seen blogging less of an assignment and more of a medium through which I can express myself. Words hold immense power, allowing us to explain all the little things running through our minds. And I really hope I've done a good enough job in talking about travel and explaining what it means to me.
And so for today's post, the very last one on this blog, I'd like to talk about the journey that never ends: life.
You must be thinking, Wow Marco, how philosophical of you. I get it. But in my defense, I didn't want my last post to be like the rest. I didn't want to talk about somewhere I've already traveled to or somewhere I plan on going.
Life is a journey, not a destination. It leaves impressions upon you; some from sights, some from words. It is these impressions that create the people we are. Some impress so deeply they become the foundation upon which we build our morals and ethical standards.
Life cannot be described by a couple of words. It is a mixture of everything, from happiness and sadness to success and failure. From comfort and pain to encouragement and frustration. Love and hatred, relief and sorrow, struggle and achievement. Life is not perfect by any means, but it sure is beautiful.
Life means following your own, unique path. This may mean facing a few storms and falling down from time to time, but what matters most is that you get back up and keep walking. You might make the same choices over and over again because you don't know how to choose otherwise, but we end up learning from our mistakes. Change comes from within; if you want something, it's up to you to get it. No one else can do that for you.
Life offers many opportunities. As my friend Katie says, take chances, make changes. I think it's important to grab as many opportunities as you can. Don't dwell on the past or worry about the future. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow can wait. Live in the moment and focus on the now. Life is a world waiting to be discovered. Life means chasing your dreams, reaching your goals, and living life to its absolute fullest.
As you make continue your own life journeys, keep these things in mind. Happy traveling, and au revoir.
