Questionist.
It is easy to get stuck in the habit of being yourself.
Going in one direction simply because you never took a turn,
never checked the map to see what it is you are heading towards.
Accumulated costums become destiny.
They say it's not the destination, but the journey.
There is only the road that you must travel
- and if it leads you nowhere...?
If it leads nowhere, you keep on walking.
You walk the walk. You live the life. You live.
We spend too much time being the self that we think others want to see
and we see ourselves reflected in their eyes, too busy pleasing to ever be pleased.
Where do they end and I begin?
I will not be defined by where I arrive.
The road I must travel is winding and, yet, wide open.
There is no end-station, no framework. only lit up moments to lead the way.
And did you ever think about how destiny is just like destination, but shorter?
You'll find it just before you get there.

"Muere lentamente quien evita una pasión,
quien prefiere el negro sobre blanco
y los puntos sobre las "íes" a un remolino de emociones,
justamente las que rescatan el brillo de los ojos,sonrisas de los
bostezos, corazones a los tropiezos y sentimientos.
Muere lentamente quien no voltea la mesa cuando está infeliz,
quien no arriesga lo cierto por lo incierto para ir detrás de un sueño,
quien no se permite por lo menos una vez en la vida,
huir de los consejos sensatos."
