Bramblepoint Darjeeling Express

"Well, what works for some people, does not work for others," Wraen had nothing better to add, because she understood perfectly, what Dwin talked about. Though during the first year of her life she had believed to be the homebody - the first sort. And had it not been for the first heart-break, she would have never left her home and her life would probably have been very different. For a moment there she pictured that path of life - had Leander returned her feelings. They would become mates and then try to start a family and... it would never happen. Strangely Wraen could easily guess that even this course of life would still end in heart-break and her going off again. Wasn't it strange, how you could not escape your fate? You thought you were in charge, but in reality you were not?

"I think - and I will reveal you this as an old boring person so you are welcome to disregard this unsolicited advice - that most of the time the destination is not in plain sight at all. It takes trying and exploring, finding out, what you like and what is not meant for you. And if up until now you have not found, what you enjoy, this means that you have learned things that certainly aren't made for you. It is a lifelong process, really. Only, when you are old, you are more comfortable in voicing your discontent or saying a confident "No" to things you really do not want to get entangled with," she said.  "I think that rather than thinking too much about, where you should be and what you should be doing... or even worse - comparing yourself to, where other people are at your age - just take it as a kind of a journey. Despite, what you might feel now, your life is not standing still or passing you by. It is happening to you every day. Even now, as we sit here and talk."
