Sometimes all we should do is to take a deep breath, look at the sky and remember why we chose this path to walk; perhaps it was by accident, or deliberate, or unplanned, maybe it was the last attempt of us to get a new chance on life, or maybe it was just a simple decision just like deciding what to eat. Speaking of which, we all know kids who love sweets but step back when it comes to eating vegetables, we were like them too, then; just like them, why did we always choose the path to rot our teeth for sugar when we were little? Were we simply too immature, but what does being mature even mean? Is it our bones growing or our skin getting wrinkled? Or is it just us understanding the meaning of life as the time passes?

There are always ups and downs in life, just like the rhythm of a song, the important thing is to keep up with that rhythm and finish the song well. We humans think that once we fall, we will never be able to get up again. In fact, those falls are the experiences we gain along this journey called life and these experiences allow us to stand up again and continue on our way stronger and more confident. Even stars must explode first so that they can exist.

In fact humans are like stars; people who have never experienced a fall before and somehow could not keep up with the rhythm of their own songs cannot realize their own gems and draw their own route.

Despite everything, let's experience the falls, let's not keep up with the rhythms of the songs, whatever obsticle we face along the way, let's say this now; The route is being created!
