A train ride

Took a train home for the first time. And watched a movie about an unstoppable train, 'Unstoppable'. Not that it was very special, but it just crossed my mind how life is like a train ride.

It started off as a slow ride. There are many stops and stations, but it goes on and on. And it goes faster and faster. I used to look out of the window and and admire the beautiful scenery, watching hills roll by, valleys and plains dotted with civilization, enjoying the wind sweeping off my hair. But now, as the train gains speed, everything outside the window turns into a blur. I know i'll probably arrive sooner but the train ride will no longer be enjoyable. And i wonder if i'm missing out on the best things in life, when everything speeds by so fast and before you know it, the ride is over.
