Life Is Journey Not A Destination Novels & Stories

“I am petrified. What if we fail? We are not the only ones getting hurt in the end. We have the triplets to consider, too.” “But I realized I don’t want to wither in fear anymore. It’s a very dark place to remain forever. I wanted to get out of the dark and see what was on the other side. If all that awaited me on the other side was another dark place. At least, the journey was worth it.” “Sometimes, it was not always the destination that mattered. It is the journey.”

He grinned, I stared at him wide eyes. "I didn't know you believe in destiny." I teased. "A gorgeous demi-god like man believes in destiny?" I grinned and It was too late when I realize what I had just said, I cover my mouth and let my hair falls, covering my face. Hearing a low chuckle on my both side making things worse. "I am flattered. And yes, I do believe in destiny, much like soul-mates." He said wiggling his brow. "Don't I look gorgeous and demi god like to you, Cousin?" Calvin teased. I scoff, groaned. Again they laugh.

About going public with everything. And now we're in Switzerland. Writing. Playing piano. Walking to villages. Living. "We have come far," I admit. "We have. And we'll go further." He holds my hand. "One small step at a time." "Until we're actually healed?" "Until we're actually living. Healing is just the path. Living is the destination." That night, I only have one nightmare. Lucian has two. But we survive them. Together. One small step at a time.

Wouldn’t they be in deep trouble if they could not leave? Alex hurriedly asked Shelly, but Shelly calmly said, “The sanctuary of Buddhism has its laws. What’s the hurry? Since we’ve come in, there’s always a way out as long as we don't die. What I’m more worried about now is that this barren land seems to be a little unusual. Didn’t you notice that life is lost?”

I wasn't scared of my own death, but for his - my uncle. Sometimes I think, why are we even born when at the end, we'd just all die? I always wonder why beautiful things tend to end tragically. Just like life. No matter how beautiful your journey was, you'd still end up taking that one, narrow path that leads to one destination. Death. They say, it's not the end that matters. What's important is what your journey entails. The moments you shared with your loved ones, the smiles and laughs you spent with them, and all the things you experienced.

She had brought him a glass of water and a small plate of bread. "You're thinking about tomorrow," she said, sitting in the rocking chair beside him. "I’m thinking about the day after tomorrow," Raven admitted. "And the one after that. The horizon keeps moving." "That’s the secret," she said, her voice like dry leaves. "The horizon isn't a destination. It’s just where the earth meets the sky to show you how far you’ve come. You don't have to reach it. You just have to keep it in view."

She could not continue to stay here, because her mother was alone at home. She and Jake have different lives, and both of them have their place. Both are like two parallel lines, and these two lines cannot be joined together. Each person has a straight line that moves forward, toward the future life. Although this trip was not as she expected, the plan was not completed, and she was forced to accept this reality. This life is not about wanting something, it will be easy to achieve everything. Must learn to accept, there is no smooth road. In any case, she must be mentally prepared and keep mentally strong when things go in an unexpected direction.

It was as if he is trying to prove a thing that is greatly denied too him. "Life is not a race. Life is an adventure. It is up to you how you can survive but in every adventure there is an ending. Some may be sad but some are good enough to be called a happy ending. Even so... what is the point of adventuring if you don't want to find a treasure? That is useless!" 'I think it isn't' Herald wanted to say those words but he feel like he shouldn't cut Ian's words. Not because he think that he is wrong but because he just find it bothersome.

My once messy mind is now cleared. "Thank you so much, Lane, for everything," I happily said to her while smiling. -----"A journey without a map is like a life without direction. You are not aware whether you're taking the right path or actually heading to danger. A map is indeed important; without it, you'll remain lost in the world, and no one will be there to help you escape your unknown location."-----

Occasionally some lyrics resonated with what she still believed in: The gladdest moments is a departure into unknown lands, Never be so busy making a living that you forget to make a life, I’m a traveler who struggles with post-trip sadness, I need a cure, The curer? Another trip of course, Eventually I will settle back in….and of course start to plan my next trip because I’m a traveler and I want to explore the beautiful unknown lands and be part of the magnificent world, I have this desire to shake the dust of this crummy little town off my feet, get on the plane and go to see the world.
