Faithless is He Who Says Goodbye When The Road Darkens
I was on my way home from a friend’s house when I took a bus back home, and decided to ride out the whole ride since its a loop service. Went from the area near my friend’s place, to the area around my place, and then into Jurong West, and further on, at the Nanyang area. Passed by a few churches, a lot of HDB blocks and quite a few parks as well. As I sat on the bus thinking about the beauty of the place, I feel that the place is really serene and laid back. Traffic wasn’t so light, and there were lots of wide open spaces where parks weren’t there. For a moment, I fancied getting “lost” in that place so that I could scout out the whole area and look at the surroundings, but I don’t have the time now. Lost in my thoughts, I wondered if I screwed up my life thus far since the second year of study in polytechnic. I feel plain *tired* of everything, and contemplated whether am I fated to be a loser. Then I remembered a saying from the Fellowship of the Ring novel - “Faithless is he who says goodbye when the road darkens.” I guess I should have more faith in myself - no matter how hard my journey becomes, I must persevere and move on.
Sigh, should I be needlessly worried about (text censored by the author’s subconscious), or should it be vice versa - or both even? *Gathers willpower* I must expect the unexpected, as usual, and rely on nothing but myself. So thus, the road has dimmed, and I foresee bad times ahead. Where I go in the dark or when the light is found at the end of the tunnel, I do not know. Even if I carry with me Hope, Faith and Trust - three instruments that I treasure and do not have much of - they will be of little use, for I seldom use and call upon them to guide my journey.
