a Journey

when all you can look forward to is the routine of work. the mind-numbing, spirit-draining nature of assingments and projects which actually appeals because it is something that is familiar. and so you do not have to adapt.

when the heart has gone numb, because to feel would take away too much of what you can now afford.

when the answer that you've been waiting for finally arrives, packaged as a cyclone which blows away that little piece of resignation that you once held as your makeshift peace.

when you realize that life can be an ironic joke and you just silently shrug your shoulders and hunch a little lower in preparation for the load that will be coming your way.

when you're feeling under the weather, but the cappucinno you drank hours before just won't quit your system to give you your rest.
