Changing Lanes

Life is a like road trip: we plan it, we prepare for it, look for directions, we think who can be with us and we imagine what's our destination will look like.

We were once a driver or a passenger in our own journey. We sometimes travel alone, sometimes travel with family, friends, special someone or even with a total stranger. We may drive an SUV, a sedan, a pick-up or even commute with a cab, bus or jeepney.

In a roadtrip: we move right, we move left, make a u-turn, change lanes, stop for traffic, stop to refuel and sometimes just hit the brakes slowly or in an instant or may simply head on straight.

In life, we go on with our journey going into a certain destination. We then slowly plan where do we want to go or want to be over period of time. We also prepare how we are going to accomplish it, we contemplate who we want to be with during our travel and how we are going to spend the moment while we are one the road and how to enjoy when we reached our destination.

But looking from a far, roads may seem endless. Journey can also take forever; we may be forced to stop, encounter trouble with our engine or just simply stop to take a break.

Somewhere along the way, we may meet people to have short conversation. May it be to ask for directions or just simply talk about what their life seem like on that particular location, we may experience their culture or try what they would offer.

Sometimes life can also be bumpy also after all there is no perfect road to take. We can get into some misunderstanding with our passengers when we get lost. We may need their help incase our vehicles just suddenly brokedown. We get tired and just suddenly need a rest or we can get sleepy and needs to be recharged.

Life is like a roadtrip, we are taking a ride going to where we want to be. Be with the people close to us. And take them to where we want to be, but sometimes roadtrips can end as fast as we can ever imagine, we may drop our passenger and continue with our trip. We can turn right, left, go on a curve, fast lane or slow lane, we can even take u-turn and go back. Journey doesn't end regardless of who we are with. We must go straight ahead and continue travelling, driving to where we wanna be. We may still have a passenger or two or even be alone, but what matter's most is that we take with us the memories of our journey with people we care about, the wisdom we got from our mentors and the passion within ourselves to get into our most desired destination. Regardless of what we drive, we are all travellers wanting to be in a place where there is growth, prosperity, peace and love but then again there will always be a moment that we will go and change lanes.
