A road less travelled...

My Sec Sch teacher once preached, "why following the majority? why not embark on the road less travelled?"

Today, I had the opportunity to take a short walk home on a route very different from my usual. This route, though I haven't taken in a decade, seems so familiar and brought so much nostalgia back. It was the route I walked this once when rushing to school with a mate. But the most precious memory was two decades back, when I travelled that route everyday, to my kindergarten 1 and 2 - PAP. It held even greater memory, when I was still a toddler and my aunt just got married. My aunt and uncle will walk me over on weekends, just to buy a simple bottle of Coke. It was such a sweet outing then, as being so young, every outing was filled with fun.

So, I embarked on this road less travelled, a very quiet walk back home today. Reflecting on my past three decades, thinking back about my memories on that route. It was so emotionally boggling, like filling my quarter-filled emotions flask with water and over-flowing.

Yes, I am in pain today. But I do not know why. My pain started way before this road less travelled home.

I need time. I need space. To sort out this pain.
