Status Updates From Two Caravans

“There’s a special sadness at the end of a journey. For it’s only when you get to your destination that you discover the road doesn’t end there after all.”

Ooh, so true.

“And yet it took a whole war and peace before they could see each other with new eyes and realise they were meant for each other.”

“Slavery begins when the heart loses hope,” Pappa had said. “Hope is the first step towards freedom.” And mamma had said, “I hope in that case that one day you will learn to wash the dishes.” Haha

“Maybe there is a song in this, but what chords could be plangent enough to express such desolation?”

Plangent = is an adjective that describes a loud, deep, and resounding sound that often carries a mournful or melancholic tone. A deep sound that expresses grief, sorrow, or a haunting quality (like a low bell tolling or a crying violin).

“In every life there is a moment when you can break free of taken-for-granted situations and strike out in a different direction.”

This resonates with me at the moment!

“It is the privilege of young people to fall in love with the wrong person, and they did.”

If it’s a privilege for the young, what is it for the aged? Haha

“To have friends from afar is always a pleasure”

“‘Love is like fire,’ 🔥 mother used to say. ‘A treasure not a toy.’”
