The white path.


There is one girl I know that can't walk normally. She is not disabled, her legs are strong and healthy, but she can't walk. Every step she takes is a torture, the pain is unbearable, so she decides to stop and think of a different way to carry on.
She is afraid to carry on because she know at the end she'll get there. And what the hell is there? Maybe nothing, maybe just empty space. How scary is that? Well, scary enough to make you think twice with every step you take...
So sometimes, she just sits on the bed and waste time thinking on how can one get to its happy ending without having to walk through mountains of disappointment, swim oceans of rejection, kick the stones of the ugly truth out of the way.....and all that just to get to the top and see that what you left behind will remain there if you decide to turn back....because the happy ending is still an ending, and we all want to be able to start over...So she sits and plans and stays in the same point, looking around in awareness, too scared to dare to fail.
In our trip of non return, shall we dare to fail?
