The Horizon

It's funny because things end up happening and things get in the way and we do nothing but stand there on our personal roads and look over the horizon to see that it has no end, so we just start walking.
We don't know why, we don't truthfully know how (although we would like to think we do), but we just pursue what we see over the horizon. On our journey, we see different places and different people that we may meet and see and maybe visit in the future, and that is nice.

We still keep walking and running and traveling and taking pictures, yet we do this all in blinded eyes. We do not know what is in the horizon still and some of us get scared at nights because we don't know where we are going. And that's something that we feel like we can never cope with. We usually don't, and it's scary to feel lost and to feel the danger of the cold nights where the dampness of the air seems to envelope you. Lost. We become lost, but we are still wandering; just feeding our superstitions.

After awhile, those who have done nothing but walked will stop walking and stand there in front of a barren street and wait for death or possibly sink themselves waist deep into regret. These are your options if you stop walking, and these are frightening options.
They have not ran or traveled or took any pictures. They have only walked. They haven't had any fun and have not danced in the rain of had a good laugh. They have not read any books or seen any good movies. They have not tied any bows or drank any coffee or made any bonds. They've only walked.

Our first instinct is to feel sympathy for these people who have stayed like this their entire lives. But do not. They are not lost, they know who they are, and what they have done because they are the product of their own decisions and that is okay. But if you've come to the decision of awaiting death or sulking in regret, be aware of the places you've past and the nothingness you've achieved, for that is the most frightening of all.

So our conclusion is this:
When you are out there on your road, be aware of what you pass and where you run to or where you dance in the rain. The horizon will start to dwindle, but should never surpass your conscious mind, and that is alright because the subconscious mind seems to do a lot more anyways.

 The horizon, it is a vision, and the world a ghost.
