Five different people…five different stories to tell, each has their own way of combating the hurdles and curveballs that life has offered them.The story has just begun, and I, their travel buddy in this journey to life is anxiously waiting for the story to progress and see how they’ll pass their flight with flying colors.
As their travel buddy, I can only give opinion, pieces of advice and comfort but I must not be in control to whichever path they may choose to go. For just like them, life has offered me some oohhhs and aahhhhs I need to handle. After all, we are all warriors in this world.
Life they say is a matter of choice. No matter who or what we are in our past, present and future depends entirely on the choices we make. Some may have gotten lost and took the other side of the road; others may be feeling confused and scared as to which road to take; a lot may play safe and take the conventional road; a few, however, is brave enough to take the road less traveled. Whichever road we take, whatever path we choose, we take full responsibility to the consequences (whether good or bad) that entails the choices we make.
Win or lose, a warrior should never give up. For in the end, what matters is not the number of times we have failed or succeed, but the lessons we have learned from each combat.
