Branches

These branches could somehow explain the the journey of life. At first, we grow straight up because we have but a single to achieve but along the way we find new interesting things and we branch out to these. Some of these interests may grow as a steady branch that will form a part of our life. Also will just wither and fall of because we lose interest in them. The tree continues to grow as high as it should be but some of them will not reach their full potential because they strayed away from the goal and linger along the branches and forget the trunk. Like the tree pictured above, it grew to many branches that it didn't reach it's full height.

Another possibility of the not reaching its full height maybe because the goal that it wanted to reach was shattered by some event. Broken off by something that it has no control of. Since it wanted to live on, it grew other branches on top of the shattered part. To find another height to reach. Only a few times does the new branch be as strong as the trunk but somehow it has to do so in order to live. Remaining stagnant in life because of some unfortunate event leads to a slow death of the heart and soul. Gradually refusing to live out the remainder of its life. But this shouldn't be the case, we must live on and find another dream to fulfill.

Sometimes, it is too painful to go on once our dream is shattered because the pain lingers on. The goal is right there in front of us, yet we can't reach it. We can only give a smile as it passes by and shed a tear as it moves on. Knowing that our best is not good enough to reach it while others simple actions won them over handily. Such is the way of the heart. It only follows what it feels. Such is the simplicity and complexity of the heart.

Please be patient with this soliloquy of mine. These are just rambling of my heart.

My foolish heart.
