those were days when he found things gloomy.

till he discovered a mesmerizing jungle where lost souls, broken hearts, and wild animals hide from time to time. And he roams there to get lost quite often.

till he visited a hidden gem coffee shop that doesn’t mind having lingering customers. One that always greets him wholeheartedly. That memorizes his favorite drink. That loves to tell him dad jokes.

till he bumped into a bartender who seems so lost with her life, and she pours out everything to him every time they meet.

till he made friends with a stranger online, then ended up trusting each other to the point where the new friend traveled internationally to help him buy expensive stuff.

till he gradually understands some local slang phrases, and people open up to him much more. 

till he recalled what he used to say to himself, that life is all up to you.

till he realized that, “he doesn’t have to find a place, he makes a place”.
