The Journey as a Metaphor

     We encounter many journeys in our life everyday. People walking by, looking around without thinking,  sitting in a bench listening to music or simply someone laughing at other.  These are the kind of experiences that bring happiness or change their emotions in a second. 
      
      What can influence someone? This question is what our mind is constantly trying to answer when doing something. For example, when you see yourself in the mirror you're trying to imagine what other people would think of you. When you're talking to much, you wonder if you're being to self centered or if the other person is bored.  When you don't say anything at all, your mind is actually wandering from here to there, experiencing an internal journey.

      This is why a journey could mean so many things that it involves, I dare say, everything! Is something where you lived a moment and wanted to cherish it forever. When you had a bad experience and don't want to do anything, well that's even a bad adventure, but a journey nevertheless.

  1. In my opinion experiences always influence our essence as a person and you cannot have an external journey without having an internal one as well.
