It’s as simple as this: you’re in a car, blindfolded. You can feel yourself moving because you know you have somewhere to go, but only the car’s in control. All you have to do is wait, wait for it to take you to your destination. But which way are you going, backward or forward? This analogy symbolizes in a lot of ways the meaning of life. Everyone starts somewhere, and ends up somewhere else. One never really knows why, they only know it’s necessary.

As everyone grows and matures, they change. It’s often said for the better, but at the same time, one seems to drift farther and farther away from the known, from themselves. Sure, it’s only natural, but why? We’re obviously exposed to the things we’re exposed to for a reason (to grow), but if one always seems to change, then are you in fact “you” anymore?
