Journey Jilter #AtoZChallenge

Source
I trudged along mindlessly looking at the horizon. It made me reminisce the yesteryears.

My evergreen hopes and brightened smiles had faded. Moving wasn’t meant for nomads anymore. 

It defined who I am. It also proved that every resplendent place on Earth lacked a commonality. 

I was lost in the wilderness; I now seek to return. Not to anywhere else but myself.

I felt nothing anymore; I now want to feel. Not anything but love.

I yearned everything; I now want to acquire. Not worthy possessions but everlasting moments.

It’s time to end this journey. To begin a new one…

    For some reason when I read this, I think about the movie/book 'Wild'. Beautiful words...

    But sometimes the biggest challenge is to realize when to end the journey. Beautifully expressed.

    A journey towards self discovery and self love should be the ultimate goal. It's not an easy one, but truly worthwhile!

      Yes Elly. The materialistic world is too cluttered with vanity. For peace and tranquility, we need to let go of these worldly possessions. Thanks for stopping by! :)
