"We often love to think now of the life of men on beaches,--at least in midsummer, when the weather is serene; their sunny lives on the sand, amid the beach-grass and bayberries, their companion a cow, their wealth a jag of driftwood or a few beach plums, and their music the surf and the peep of the beech-bird." - Thoreau

my road is not like yours nor like the road of another person, each one of us has his/her own road and way in and through life, we are not the same, nor it's about right or wrong, what's right for me might be wrong for You, and vice versa, but we all share the same thing, we are all walking under the same sun, in the same life, we are connected even in our different ways. this what I got from reading You here.
