footprints in the snow

when snow falls, it's like a blanket over the earth. it looks like a new slate that's been wiped clean.

life happens to be like the earth. when you are born, there's a fresh new blanket of snow. from the time you are born, you are the person who decides whether fresh snow falls or not.

when fresh snow falls, some people go out of their way to walk in the untouched snow. just so that their footprints are there. just so that people can see that they've been there.

when someone walks into your life, they walk on the snow. they first take a couple of small slow steps just to see if it's ok to walk properly. when they realise that it's ok to walk on the snow, they try to make footprints.

sometimes when there are too many footprints or ones that can't be seen, a fresh batch of snow falls. you are the person who decides whether that snow falls or not. you decide whether the footprints disappear or whether they stay there forever.

footprints in the snow. footprints in your life.

you decide whether they stay in your life and make an impact or if they should be blanketed by the fresh snowfall.
