@Aalia 21 October 2022 more from that month

Years from now I’ll look back on the long road I walked and smile at how unending it felt back then. I’ll look back on every twist and turn, think of how inescapable they seemed until I can look at them from afar. I’ll look back on the highs and lows, on the rivers and cliffs. I’ll remember every hello and goodbye and thanks and sorry. Years from now I’d be standing at the mountain top and finally see the best view. Years from now all of this will be worth it. Until then, I’ll enjoy the view down here. I’ll persist and remind myself of all the good things waiting for me at the end of this long journey.
