Secret roads that lead to the unknown, lonely nights that leave us spaced out and dumbfounded with the reality that WE ARE LOST.
But still we keep on walking, hoping to find that place where we can find familiar faces and facades, and feel familiar feelings once again. We keep on walking towards the unknown because we believe that in time, we'll get to where we're supposed to be and we'll find the right reasons to justify our efforts and our tired heart, body and mind.
I don't know why I keep walking. I don't know why I continue to take each step even with a blurred vision of what is ahead of me.
Actually, maybe I do. I just keep on forgetting.
I keep walking because I keep waking up to a new day that I have yet to conquer.
I keep walking because I am made to walk. I am made to reach great heights and to overcome great distances.
I keep walking because it makes me feel alive. Slowly but surely, walking brings me to where I have to be. Walking makes me see, hear and appreciate everything around me, at my own pace. Walking makes me feel like I have control over something, without expecting me to do so much or to be more than what I am.
I keep walking because it's something that I'm blessed to have the ability of doing. It's such a sad scene to see people who are forever disabled -and because I can't control that, the least I can control is my situation. I should be glad that even if it can be tiring, even if it can make me weary sometimes, I should be glad that I can walk.
Even when the path is dark and my vision is blurry, I will continue to walk because I can, and because I have to. I will not stop until I get to my destination, and in the process I will not forget to appreciate everything that is happening around me, and everything that I am blessed to keep a memory of.
No one is really lost. We may just find where we are to be unfamiliar, and it may just be the most unusual place we've ever been in, but no one is really lost.
But if you feel like you are, all you have to do is just keep on walking.
