As I grow older, I have started to realize the uncertainty of the future and this image perfectly illustrates how every day we are all walking towards the unknown. Why? Because the possibility of growth, new beginnings, and everything else that comes with it gives us the courage to continue walking towards it. With the help of the soft guitar, it creates a calm feeling to the tense and scary idea of the future portrayed by the image. The combination of the image with the audio gives us a realistic view of life and how moving forward is a natural part of it, even though we each experience it in different ways. At the end of the day, I guess that means we&#8217;re all just figuring it all out one step at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Terms of Use<\/strong>: &#8220;Walking Towards the Unknown&#8221; by Jonathan Pupo is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\">CC BY 4.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I came across this image on openverse, I felt it had a deeper meaning that we could all relate to in some way.
