Every morning waking up in the same landscape was making me a frustrated person, the one I never thought of being, the one no one thinks of talking to.
Well, now I didn’t care about what others wanted, the race was about what I think about myself, about what I felt about myself, about what I was doing, about what was I going to be. Who was going to answer me all this? Who was going to take me out of my misery? Why do we need others to answer all the questions that bump into our mind and leave us stunned? I was left alone in the wisdom of what my parents explained me of pursuing. Studying all along, reading all those theories and writing all those papers were irritating me. Why do I have to do all this? Why is it important to study?
Asking my parents about all this, they would just say have you gone mad? Everyone does that, Look at your sister; she isn’t questioning the system we are living in. what has happened to you? Are any of your friends influencing you about all this? Stop wandering with your stupid friends; they are not going to earn bread for you.
Whenever I traveled it was with my family and once a year on my school trip. It did please me, But what I wanted was way-way different. Whatever I did was in control of my parents and my teachers. Why not travel alone? I asked myself. Maybe I could find the answers there, and maybe I could be whatever I wanted to be there. No one will be controlling me from that point onwards. My dad helped me out of this and allowed me to travel alone.
At first, I was so excited that I hustled and stepped into the unknown. A place where nothing was found except lush green lands and crystal clear water. A place which we browse over the web. A broken bridge attached to which a cursed looking tree and below flowing shallow stream of water, surrounded by tall trees and heightened mountains. The nearest civilization was also 15 km away. No sound of vehicles, no sound of any breath & just me. Answers that I was seeking for were coming my way. I want to ask people how do they seek happiness? For me, happiness is to travel. Traveling alongside those rocky paths where there is no one to confront you. Where there is no one to control your thoughts, be what you feel like, think how you feel like and elaborate yourself to immense states.
One should take out time for themselves. Travel to places you have never seen before, interact with people from different countries, cultures and understand their lifestyle.
