Journey Over Destination
’Destination: journey’s end,’ - This isn’t a definition, but a synonym. One I found too coinciding not to quote.
For the past weeks, I’ve received tremendous support from family, friends, authors, and strangers. And honestly, I didn’t expect so many people to get behind my book. Such response... I just... well... I just want to say how honoured I am to have you, who genuinely want to see me succeed. You, who have offered you time, money, and resources, to support my dream. You, who could’ve done anything else, chosen anyone else, but decided to invest in me. Who am I to deserve this?
The journey of dream chasing has often routed along a lonely road. Many days, I rely on my own strength to keep going and to keep pursuing. Many days, I swim in the vast ocean of dreams, hoping to catch a glimpse of hope at the horizon. But those days become a memory when I see the hands reaching out and hear the voices cheering me on. Suddenly, I’m not alone anymore.
I realised that when I’m focused on the destination, the world quiets down and the streets empty out. But when I start to actively experience the journey, I begin to see those around me. Similarly, as much as Thom thinks he can save his people by himself, he would’ve never accomplished it without the support of those around him. So thank you for being here. Your presence means a lot to me.
Now to the last hardcopy of Richard Saunder’s novel, Journey.
