My soul kept whispering,
Urging me to take a new path.
And I knew that only by listening to my intuition,
Could I scratch away the discomfort I was feeling.

As I embarked upon the journey,
The path enticed me with a promise of adventure.
But as I chose the unknown path,
I knew I would have to move forward,
With no option of return.

I travelled through easy and rough terrains,
Paths with ups and downs, some smooth others rocky.
I passed it all, everything changed,
The experiences in the path were all temporary,
Nothing was permanent.

The journey on the path was unpredictable.
And once I had walked down this path,
I learnt to accept it all,
Good and the bad, easy and the tough.

There were times when I was lost,
And I had no sense of direction.
The only way out was to search and explore,
And for me to choose a new path.

I may lose the sense of direction,
But I must not lose hope.
For it is hope that will give me courage,
And foresight to choose a new path.

Although, the journey is long,
I have to keep traveling.
As I pursue my passion,
I will know how far I can go.

But at some point of my journey,
I realized that I was never alone.

A story of struggle, pain, pleasure and triumph.
We laugh, we cry, we love, we perish.
Such is the journey of life.
At the end, when we look back,
We realize that paths never mattered.
It was always about the journey.
