Sitting in the bus and looking out of the window,the feeling of nostalgia hit me as I focus on my surrounding.l realized somethings as the bus moved on with a constant speed.It dawned on me that I am all grown up now and I can make journeys and decisions without my parent interference.
I was taken aback to the journey I made with my mummy one certain time when I was young and without any care for the world.Sitting in front of us was a national youth corper who I do realize now was probably posted to a state she had never been before.She stares outside the window looking uncertain and I felt her loneliness.I wondered why she would decide to travel alone when she must have had family and friends who would make the journey with her to cheer her up.I looked up into the dozing face of my mum and I said to myself within my tender heart that I would never make journeys on my own.I would never leave without my loved ones.
Not too sure of the exact years that passed after I had that conviction in my heart but here I am sitting in the bus,looking out of the window,not because I don't have someone sitting beside me but because my seatmate is a young lady whom I have never met before and she's lost in her own thought and I am making this journey alone.
My loved ones will not always make the most important travels with me but they will always be in my heart and they will always know about it and be able to relieve my experience again and again...So I pick up my pen and write about it all.
