It's The Journey, Not The Destination

Yep, it sounds super cliche but we know that cliches like that are often grounded in life's practical truths.

What are relationships for in the first place? Why does every human heart clamor for that sense of belongingness? Why can't we stand being alone even if we aren't exactly lonely?

It's interesting how most of us view relationships in a single dimension. We see 'em as black and white. We look at them as "either or." We get stuck on the thought that if we decided to be in a relationship we sit, wait and pine for that moment when he will finally pop that question: "Will you marry me?" Why are we conditioned in such way?

What is really important in relationships? Is it the destination? Or is it the journey?

I realized something as I was laying there on my bed early this morning, that it's the journey that matters. Destination isn't here yet. It's something we look forward to. But the journey means more than the destination...

I guess I am simply saying that I should be living the present and not the future. For it is the present that can be enjoyed. We can only hope for the future but no, we can't enjoy it. Not yet. So why waste my energy worrying about it when I could get myself busy having a ball, having a grand celebration of what is NOW.

I need to keep reminding myself this...

Coz if the journey is good, why should I really care about the destination?
