How it all started.
“And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they’re nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we’d be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing.”
Haruki Murakami (Sputnik Sweetheart)
Life’s keeping me on my toes. Racing through everyday without any memories. It’s time to release my emotions and thoughts from the abstract and reflect on the life that has passed and the future that is yet to come.
We met, we soared, we crashed, we burned, we drifted apart, but we will never stop searching. Friendships, relationship and even families will eventually have to say goodbye, the only stationary orbit is where our choices take us. Am I lonely? Yes. It’s inevitable, humans come into this world alone, and will leave this world in solitude. Am I happy? Yes. The journey, with its pain, anger and love proves that I am living.
