The Open Road


The sight of an open road represents a journey, one that's about to start or one that's already begun but is yet to finish. It could reflect some sort of vagueness and uncertainty to some, but I see it as a challenge; a road that needs to be taken. Curiosity drives me to find out what's on the other end of that road. The sight of an open road is similar to the sight of a vast area of water ending at the horizon; they both symbolize freedom and lead you to limitless imagination. Two essential things to the human soul, and greatly underrated by most people. Freedom in going wherever you desire, and doing whatever your imagination guides you to do. As a wise man once said: "Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." And that is exactly what an open road offers you; a chance to explore, dream and discover. Explore, for the core of man's spirit comes from new experiences. Discover, as discoveries are what drive us to eagerly reach out and without fear for newer and richer experience. Dream, because dreams are the fuel to wonderful achievements. Cross that vast area of water and see for yourself what's on the other side, take that open road and find out where it leads. Stop existing and start living.
