the road not taken

The ends do not justify the means.

Every step of the journey I took because it was what I felt like doing in the moment. When I saw dragonflies, I allowed myself to be distracted. When I saw rabbits, I squatted down to pat them. When I was tired, I took a nap.

I didn't join in the rat race. Winning is never my game.

There are times when I question myself on being so nonchalant about my future and destination.

There are times when I wonder if I should be sacrificing the present for an ambition.

There are times when I ask if not compromising will pay off.

I still don't know the answers.

But I'm happy to have loved, lost, fell, felt, sung, swung, read, written, loved again, and found so many wonderful people to have teh tarik with. And I never once did ever compromise on them.

I will be going back to Singapore next Wednesday and I don't know when I will be home. But I know I'm going to be loving, losing, falling, feeling, singing, swinging, reading, writing, and seeing more - plus missing a lot of many things.

At least, there's still teh tarik.
