Journey without a map

Unfolding serenity in the soft turns of life

By Afiah HumairaPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

Few years ago, I took a walk to a different life. It was my clutter of thoughts and myself only. With each step, I hoped for nothing but a new self. At first there were self-doubts disguised as bumpy roads. But it became easy when I found out the rhythm toward clarity. I always thought happiness comes with a package of achievements and possessions. But little did I know it was some little threads which can unfold a peaceful life. You just need to find the thread and then follow the trail it creates. Often it leads to a soft gold afternoon, where serenity is not chased but found. But there are times when there is no significant answer but stillness. Stillness is not bad either. If you weigh bad memories against a stuck life, it’s the stuck situation which will weigh more. So, take a walk to a different path and life itself will find you with happiness.
