The Passenger
ENTRY101: My Backstory
I am amongst the eldest of the Millenial, born rich next the poor and just a piece of shit next to those who can have everything.
I come from the best country yet I possess the wrong color of a passport.
My life has not been what I expected it to be. As a child I was certain that by now I am already a General Practitioner of Medicine making rounds in the hospital with a ringing reminder on my mobile phone that I have a dinner date with my soon-to-be fiance tonight..but nah! LIFE happened.
Like I said I am 25, not a doctor and got no man tucked in my arms. Clearly, far away from what I planned my life would be. (Well, they should have introduced ‘DREAMS’ with warnings and danger signs back when I was in preschool.)Â
So now with no clear plans at hand, I embark on this journey; To go wherever life takes me, to take opportunities that life would give me and just hope that someday I will soon get there (whatever that There is).
I spend the past few years collecting different experiences and reaching different places. Each plane ride is a drama. Each train ride is an adventure.Â
So Yes, I am just your average passenger with no clear destination.Â
Does it scare me?Â
Oh hell yeah! But just because my plans are screwed and or I am scared to go down the platform, I am gonna stop catching flights and chasing late night trains and missing the ride of my life.
Because now I really think I am mostly here for the ride and not the destination.
