Lost in Dark woods.

The challenge in this world is endless, but what do you think is the most challenging thing can anyone face in this life?

If I spoke for myself, is finding yourself, finding the real you,

Not what people want you to be, in this story, I’ll talk about finding myself in the woods.

Monday 07:00...

Starting my morning as usual, “Taking a bath, eating my breakfast, go to work” While I was driving to work, I stopped at Starbucks, ordering my usual coffee, and I talk to myself in a low voice “what a simple you have no motive and no passion” I went to work. I met my boss. ”with an angry look as usual for being late” I sat at my office and start working…

Tuesday 07:00

Same as yesterday...

Saturday 19:00.

I’m sitting in my apartment watching tv.

”Ordering food.”

That’s it.

Monday 07:00.

This morning it wasn’t like any mornings, I felt different, I felt that I don’t really have any motive in life I felt like an empty shell.

I went to work, and I was late I saw my boss walking towards me then he said “pack your things “ “you are fired” without prior notice.

My life is over it was the last thing I have and all I do is “work and sleep”

At that moment I tried to remember the people that I lost contact with since now I’m idle.

And I remembered that I have a friend who I haven’t spoken with him I am a very long time. I called him

He answered the phone and said " hello"

I said " hello old friend it's me john"

He said,” Hey john where have you been all the years”?

I said "Nowhere, I just got fired from my work”

He said “ I’m sorry to hear that what are you planning to do next?

I said “Nothing, I just feel that I’m lost in dark woods and I'm trying to find the way out”

He said “ let’s all find the way out together”

I “ laughed”

When I hang up, I decided to travel to him.

The next morning, I pack up my bag and went on a road trip to my friend’s house.

While I’m on the road ,

I start to think all the years has passed and ….I didn’t do something for my future I just thought I’ll stay in the same job until I retire and now! “I’m jobless and It felt like it’s the end of the world because I don’t know what I enjoy doing or know how to live my life”

I have arrived at my friend house.

He was very happy to see me.

He said “you have aged so bad”

I said “ and you haven’t changed a bit”

We went inside his house It was very cozy, I met his daughter and his wife. They welcomed me.

We sat at the dinner table and we start talking like old times

“ I miss those days even though I don’t remember them properly, but I felt very comfortable”

He asked me “ why you said the other day on the phone that you were lost in dark woods?”

I said, “ because I feel that I’m trapped inside myself I don’t know who I am or who I’m trying to be anymore.”

I continued saying” now I’ve lost my job, and I need to find the reason of what my life worth living right now”.
