PART IV:

As the minivan gets steered on the same rough passage we were on before, my mind floods up with variant thoughts. I remember thinking that people who fake understanding you are like lost bystanders, who scratch their heads when you ask for directions and you just end up wasting your time waiting for them to try to help you out. I made a pact with myself not to waste my time with them and drive off into the wilderness of life to see what’s in store for me. I promised myself that even though I’m lost and confused in my life, people who don’t know what it’s like to be lost and confused can’t relate and so I won’t ask for their help. This led me to drive off years ago, become self sufficient and isolated.

Things have changed, as the distance between us and our destination gets reduced by the second, I find myself on the verge of a new outlook, I’m convinced that nobody is ever alone in the car. I’m convinced that with us, in the car there are always people who feel the same as us, people who are afraid to trust and people who are all equally lost.

They’re the strangers in the car with you; faces that will cling to your memories like Velcro even after they depart. Strangers who just like you, have layers, have emotions and secrets. We’re all lost together. On a journey, in one car to find the happiness each one of us deserves, we’re all looking for the same things. We don’t have a map and we don’t trust the bystander, we don’t know where we’re going and we don’t know when we’ll get there. But all questions will be answered when we hit the road, when we live life without a care.

Because if we drive; we drive together and if we’re lost; we’re lost together. And even if the road of life is long and confusing, even if we don’t have a map or a guide to lead us; we’re lost but we’re never lonely. That in my opinion is several degrees better.

We’re travelling together in the car that leads to tomorrow and there’s no stopping until we get where we are destined to be.

I believe when the journey will end, we won’t be strangers anymore; we’ll be each others’ travel buddies.

We will forever remain the sole witnesses of our adventures.
