I miss these winding roads. Here even though I knew what laid after every turn, but I miss the excitement of it all, knowing that still every turn would come with a new opportunity every time. I miss sitting by the window seat and just staring outside, listening to all the music I’d fill my phone with, and then for hours just staring at the road, eating all the dust, without wanting to roll up the window even once. I miss being lost in my own thoughts, and identifying shapes in the clouds, and trying to recognise the drivers of cabs passing by, and waiting for the solitary HRTC bus to pass us by to see if we are running on time or not. But while I miss it all, I somewhere don’t mind sitting for a while and staring at these pictures because sometimes it’s when you sit back, you’ve all the time to gather yourself, all the time to decide how you’d like to take the next step, all the time to remind yourself of all the goals you created for yourself, all the trails you had to climb, all the parts that you had to document, all the villages you had to visit, the wishes that got lost somewhere, but they’ve somehow found a way back to remind me that these journeys are not over yet, that I’ll return to those roads, and this time to revisit those old wishes, before I turn them into reality. For I still miss these roads, and those peaks up ahead, laden with snow and so many dreams, that I’d return to pick up and fill my bags with.」9月8日 1時17分
