Another year has passed.
And it still feels like a new beginning.
With two years gone, there’s much that has changed.
Two years ago this time, after much thought; the wheels were set to roll.
Like the almost negligible crunching of pebbles, that is heard on the ground
when a cart starts to move,
words were scarce, ideas shallow and scattered few and far between.
Gradually, just like the cart speeding across the road, crushing the bigger stones,
burying them further deep inside the earth,
more concrete ideas were born, hurling behind the fears of failure,
burying them in sands of time,
walking the route walked by many, the same road, the same land.
Learning. Improving.
And another year has passed…
And new acquaintances, leading where no one knows, were formed.
So many people met, so much more forgotten and many not yet known.
New friends, equally passionate about walking the same road with you,
maybe not hand-in-hand, but word-by-word kept clutched to the heart.
Some others perceived as more than mere acquaintances chose to walk away.
Yet, learning, growing by conquering boulders in the path that once made you stop, divulge; almost quit,
are no longer boulders, but a part of what is left behind, just traces.
And another year has passed…
Living through everything you face and feel, transforming them into words, is not easy.
But a pinch of inspiration peppered with confidence and a bounty of love is all you need to keep you going!
Nothing is as hard, nothing as difficult as taking that first step when you began.
But nothing gets as wonderful as the memories you make, once you’ve begun.
The phase of uncertainties will leave; what made you live through those times, will live.
Times will test, but sticking by what you desire is all that makes the difference.
And this is still just a bit from the pot of gains you’ve treasured through time.
Because although another year has passed,
it has left behind marks.
It only reminds of all the good times that are yet to come and
so will follow more love, more happiness, and more worded treasures.
Turned around the corner and my blog is 2 year old.
This is a dedication post to all those bloggers out there who have helped me make it big.

I have missed your words my friend, blogging is indeed a gift that gives us the opportunities to connect with new diverse people and experience things that other people aren’t lucky enough to get.
You are right that we never know where these things are leading or what opportunities we will have but it is always going to be one hack of an adventure.

I’ve missed everything around here too, J. The never-ending words, thought-provoking ideas, its a world I’ve craved for and yet been away for far too long.
Unknown opportunities bring the most happiness and lessons worth learning, in most other cases.
Dont you think?
