The Infinate Road

It's been a pretty eye-opening week as usual. Life's unpredictable path has yet again seemed to derail me from my pursuit. Sometimes I wish I could just keep my eyes shut and not have to look at all of the negativity the world spreads. Deceit from those you thought you could trust most. I suppose that's more my fault for allowing them to do so. A tough week, most definitely. Then again, it's not really something I'm not used to. It seems as if every week is a bad week, as if every day seems to drag on like someone is pulling life by the hair and dragging it alongside the road.

But I don't want to end July on a bad note.

Besides some of the hard hits I've taken all week, I've been pretty observant of the world around me once more. Happiness that seems to spawn from the darkest places. Happiness that spreads like a virus. I'm not really sure how I could possibly describe something that appears so abstract, but I certainly have experienced quite a few scenarios. There's just those occasional moments that blossom out of nothing, a nod to a passing stranger, a conversation with someone you don't even know, the smile of a pretty girl that fills your heart with joy, and you don't even know her name, let alone will ever see her again. What brings so much joy from such mondane tasks? Simplicity is what makes life so sweet. The freedom to know that you can just walk and keep walking down the road that never ends. One of the greatest feelings you could ever feel is that of not knowing where you are going, but consciously knowing where you never have to back to.

I'd know from recent experience.

And what lies beyond the infinite road? No one can say for sure. The endless path is that which we individually choose to follow. Do we follow it for a purpose? Or rather is the infinite road one that we follow to escape, never to be found again? There isn't really a right or a wrong answer. Whereas the infinite road may be metaphorical, we all have a road that we travel down, looking for something. I don't think we'll ever truly find that one thing we're destined to discover. Even if we do, we might pass it by. It's that subtle, that mysterious of an item that we might even be passing by what we search for as we speak. Remember that the next time you pass by the stranger on the street without smiling.

Spread the word.
