Journeys are some hell of a life changer. I mean sometimes
you just look out of the window and think about good times, bad times,
decisions you have made before and how it has affected you and etc. well those
thoughts are necessary once in a while. I love traveling alone, it’s like you
don’t have to bother about who is going ahead of you or worry about if someone
is left behind. Feels good to be alone and stress free. Recently I was
travelling from Chennai to vellore, though just a 2 hour journey but one hell
of a journey. Endless roads and strangers around, I didn't want the journey to
end. Though there were the minus points of the uncomfortable seats and some
perverted assholes but I really can’t help us situations. How do I deal with if
you ask, I ignore and get lost in my thoughts to where I paused.

I have always been a traveler. My father is in sales and he
well keeps getting posted at different places. Every time he would be assigned
a new city, I would also have to move along because I had no other choice. I
have friends literally everywhere possible. I mean the number of school I have
changed and the number of people I have known just go countless. And I would
never hesitate to the shifting part because every time it was like a new
adventure and I have no clue what’s next. There have been times where I have
rejoined a school after a period of three years and it felt so good to reunite
with those people whom I thought I would never meet them ever. This flame of
hope in me never dies. I did most of my schooling in Notre Dame Academy, Patna
and I am glad I did because what I am today, there is that school, the friends,
my teachers who have given me chances to become the perfect person.
Something I have realized and maybe all of you would have by
now, every person whom you have met throughout your life till date, have been
responsible for the kind of person you are today. All these from a journey, you
must be wondering how? Because it’s a very clichéd life-quote about how life an
endless journey and we make our own destinations. And that’s true to every bit.
A lot of my acquaintances have concluded that this female is too much of
philosophy. I won’t say anything to that because it’s their opinion and I am no
one to say anything to that.
I have always found happiness in the tiniest of things. When
I was young, say 6 or 7, I loved train journeys for a reason that I get the
window seat and I can look outside and make up stories in my mind and look
through the plush green fields, those dry rivers and the high bridges making me
feel good. Every time it was new and different. I love traveling in trains now
too and my reasons haven’t changed. These journeys somehow give me that time
which I need, away from everything and everyone. If you are laughing no one to
bother you asking why you laughing aimlessly or even if tears are trickling
down your cheeks, there is no one to ask you what happened and why are you
crying. That’s something you need sometimes. Let it go and you will feel better,
because no one wants to know the reason behind your every activity.
Well journeys are always a good experience for me till the time it's just me. Not that i mind company but then again priority is always alone. Next time you go somewhere, traveling to some place, try letting everything go and don't give a shit about anything.
