The Trains

The trains have many cabins of which each can store like what, 20, 25 people maybe? I dunno. We walk into trains at different times of the day but one things for sure we know where we wanna go and as much as it it is a destination, we experience a journey.

Sometimes the trains are jam packed and we feel so tired and stressed that we either step out of the train and wait for the next, or hang in there and feel alot more space as time goes by, stop after stop. Sometimes, we step in to trains where there a a handful of people and maybe a few catch our eye. MAybe sometimes, you see familiar faces. Sometimes a pretty face that catches your eye even although we most of the time just look afar and let an opportunity slip. Sometimes of course, we step into a train where there are totally no people and that mkes one a lil lonely and impeded.

Someitmes, we take the trains with our friends and we get off the same sop at times, some stop before or after you, some dont even need to take the train. Yet it is the same, as you are in the trains, countless people, significant or insignificant, walk in and out of the cabins because their destination is reached.The trains move fast although it seems slow, the stops are sometimes close to another while another destination might seem farther and yet there is nothing you can do to control it. No way to control the crowd or to make the train go faster. Sometimes the train takes one minute to come, sometimes it takes 7 minutes.You get people who totally oay no attention to you, these of which either are reading a book or thinking about whats for dinner what programme there is on tv later, or how they're gonna vent their frustrations when they get home. As much as you like to be noticed, sometimes, noone cares. Not even your friends.

They might be sleeping on their way home with you. Sometimes, even we sleep and fail to notice whats happening around us or who is besides us.

When you miss a stop, its ok. Ur able to get off the train get on the one in the opposite direction and head back to where you were without paying more. Sometimes, the train stops longer at certain stops either due to more people or a fault in the train or maybe the driver is chatting up with one of the staff outside on the platforms. Whatever it is, whether it is damn crowded and unbearable or totally free and alone with a loved one, the train will move on and that is inevitable. No matter what, the train will move on . it will not stay stuck at that moment nor will it suspend for a day . It will move on .

Lets not forget the gruelling part of boarding the train, it waits for noone. If we take our own sweet time while making way to the train, it might shut on us and hence causing us to miss the train. it could be the last train, but whatever it is, once we dont take hold of the open door, it shuts on us. Yeah, i guess that sucks pretty much when about to board the train if you ask me. ANd yet the trains and the stops they stop at are always the same, they do not take different routes or skip any stops. The announcer is always the lady announcing stop after stop. Nothing changes and the train always looks the same with us boarding it the same way, goin gthe same direction taking the same route. But one things for sure, the trains are never going to be extinct. these trains awill always be there to board and to alight, ONe thing for sure, the trains keep coming and coming be it at 1 minute or 7 minute intervals.

The train is as such life.

In life we know where we wanna go although we dont know how long it'll take. Sometimes in life we feel so stressed that we just wanna give up or take things alot slower although it wastes time. Sometimes in life we persevere and hang in there which pays off as we reach our destination faster and easier with no wastage of time. Sometimes in life, we see opportunities (pretty face) and although we see it as a good one, we often let it slip past. Sometimes, in life we feel so empty and alone just because we are too afraid to try.

Also in life sometimes, we have people coming in and out of our lives beit friends or celebrities or strangers or even idols. They all come and go. Life is also unpredictable and something we must accept something we must adapt like the heavy crowd coming into trains or longer journey times frm one stop to another. Like life, certaing things jus cannot be controlled.

Also in life, we do our best and hope to be noticed, although sometimes we get the attention, sometimes people just can be bother but life still moves on as such the train as much as they are sleeping or doing whatever , the train still moves. Also in life, we also fail to notice ( sleep in trains) the importance of others even if that someone is right besides you. Sometimes in life, even your friends and family get to preoccupied with their own things they fail to notice you.

As such missing a stop and going back , life also offers that. And that is called a second chance , nowhere is too far for we can always go back if we want to and if we're alert enoughin life. Again in life, whether times are bad or good, it will pass, and time will not stop for you as such life. Like trains moving on , life will not stay stuck in the past or in that moment, it will move on.

Like whats mentioned in the fourth paragraph, like trains, life waits for noone . As the saying goes, time and tide wait for no man. if we take our own sweet time and take life for granted that chances will always be there(door will always be open waitng for us), we will soon have regrets and no chances. Like trains, life will shut on us. And finally, like life, it follows a system. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It does not follow differently and certain things like time and exams and age follow a system. Like trains that always take the same route.

However, life is what you make it. Although like life, trains on the outside take the same route and seem to be doing the same thing , it is all superficial. Like life, as much as we follow a timetable life is indeed what you make it. You could be reading a book in the train on monday , and studying on wednesday or chatting with a friend on saturday.Even so, we are dressed differently and waering something different seeing different people on the train. LIfe is how you think its like. Like what ever you do on the train, you can choose to idle and do the same thing like sleepin, or make it different byu reading a book or chatting.

Whatever it is, life is something that we can relate to. And although it seems like groundhog where everyday is the same. It really isnt. Life is what we make it to be and we are the ones that we are dependent on. we set our goals and our destinations and throughout that journey, we make something. We make life. Our life as we see it, as we feel it and what we make it to be.

Night people.
