Travel is a change of life. Life is a journey. The pace of travel never stops picking up the beauty and vicissitudes of life. Travel adds meaning to life and the state of mind of traveling.
Traveling only requires a quiet heart and non-stop footsteps, to keep meeting, to keep encountering, to keep letting one's thoughts fly, and to keep updating one's memories. We are traveling, and loneliness is the norm in life. During the journey, we think about where our souls will go.
Life has spring and autumn, warmth and cold. Looking at the past, they are all the same. The difference is the mentality. Attitude determines destiny, and style determines life. In a normal heart, smile at the changing situation and be indifferent to the changes in life. In and out of the drama, be yourself, and you will be happy in the ordinary.
When traveling, don’t be afraid of missing anything, because you have gained freedom on the road. Life is a journey to unknown places. Many times, we don’t know what kind of future we will encounter next. But sometimes, we just run wildly and forget the meaning of travel.
