Keep Walking


Forrest Gump is one classic movie. This is one Quote by Forrest -"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going."

I think I am living a Forrest Gump these days. Aim a distant star (for no particular reason), strive hard to touch it, reach closer, touch it and then everything is over.
Dreaming is very tiring and difficult; more difficult is living that dream. Only thing that's giving excitement is chasing that dream.

I decided one thing, I tried for it. I did it. And now its over. The climax is really short-lived.
I decided other thing, worked hard for it, acheived it and again its the same.
Its the steps towards the winner's podium that is more pleasurable than the podium itself. Sometimes it makes me feel that I am just running. Running from reality, trying to live bit by bit, ignoring the hard truthful face of it. At others I think I am living it to the full.

Whatever... It is too confusing, and too tiring.

But I have to keep walking, keep running. I can not stop. Coz I know the day I stop, it will be the end of me.

I feel a bit Jealous....
Coz I'm yet to discover my aim.

Doesn't matter how small or big but you have a reason to keep walking......

I dint say that I have discovered my Aim. Thats the whole crux of issue. Its like a mirage. I keep chasing something. And in the end realize that its not the source of complete happiness for me.
For moments I think I am just running away from things.
