Life is not made of one path, nor is it made by paths that are obvious. It is made of winding roads that lead to dead ends, where people find themselves trapped and die, unable to find meaning in life. It is made of convoluted lanes that seem to have no end, as if life itself intends to drag out the resignation and regrets that each and everyone of us has tucked away deep within ourselves. It is made of an infinite amount of interconnected avenues that cross boundaries and walls, forcing people of different lifestyles to interact, for better or for worse. It is impossible to predict - just like time, life is not under the absolute control of our own hands or wills. Life will continue with or without you, no matter how much we struggle against it. From those treasured moments with friends and family that we enshrine within our minds, to the melancholy and dispondent junctures that will always be remembered and felt as they weigh down our minds and hearts, each makeup what we define as our lives. In everything we do, at the very least, we unconsciously incoporate what we have learned and gathered to face what will face in the future. We yearn to show others what we have felt, in the hope that we will not just educate others, but to also bond with and have someone to travel with us on our adventures. There is no such thing as a false experience, in the sense that everything contributes to what we will become. Each experience, each memory, is but one block, one tile, that we use to pave the course we will take. There is one but truth in life: to live. Every moral and ideal stems from a silent acknowledgement of this axiom.
