open road

Taking off from my comfort zone and touching down in the land of possibilities was the journey I took to pursuit my dreams. Never an easy decision nor is it an easy route. To leave behind both love and hate, to walk away from memories, to begin the unknown and to unveil my path, I find myself landed in the land of sudoku and ipods where I hope to inspire myself to touch cloud 9. After a long flight and a backache, I managed to find the strength within to carry on but keeping in mind that with each right decision I make, people will always await the wrong one as with each right step comes a left. With every step I take, both tears and fear falls upon me. In a place where my name shall be hard for the first time but shall be remembered for a lifetime, I build a future from strength and confidence. To say I don’t miss home is a lie, to say I don’t cry is an even bigger lie but to say I use each tear to defeat fear is the truth. Pictures are worth a thousand words. For me its worth more than words, its worth a lifetime. Each of us seek the future, each of us dream of the future and each of us chase the future. We all remember the past, we all regret the past and we all learn from the past. We all go through many and different paths of life, each path may have its own flaw. However, when one path collides with another, a purpose of life shall arise. For now, I do not know where my path is headed nor I do not expect anything to be easy but I do hope there will be an outcome of it all. The occurrence of a warm breeze would hoist me off the ground. With this, the support and encouragement given is much appreciated. As I switch my gear to reverse mode, I realize that I would not be the person I am today if it weren’t for those who have inspired me in so many ways. Either my family, my friends or even those of the unknown, the only words that comes to mind is thank you. These inspiration comes in many different forms, sometimes by acts and sometimes in words. Either by risking yourself for the sake of others, by boarding a plane that is headed to a foreign land (several times), by tolerating an act for the sake of love or by taking charge to stand for what is right. All this has made its way to become a part of me…Aliyah Rashid.
