The Unknown

All that was known is now in the past, it will never come back. I can only look back nostalgically, wondering why I did not live some moments more passionately but I smile at the thought that some moments are gone forever.

Here, now, I see a world filled with strange and unknown objects, people,places, feelings, experiences. All of it waiting patiently as a famished carnivore who hides looking at his pray who is alive, vulnerable, waiting the right moment to attack.

Reality has attacked me, it has bitten me with its strong jaws. Fear crawls inside my body and makes me chiver for my eyes only see a thin sillouethe of the future, a shadow of what it is to come.

Now I am awake. Alert to anything that can happen, seeing how challenges approach, knowing that I will conquer my darkest fears and that new memories will be created.

And I think, maybe it is the unknown that keeps us moving foward, the curiosity of something better. Suddenly the future is less intimidating and I discover that those things that were once unknown to me are now the things that I love and treasure.
