A few days ago, I decided to take a walk alone on Vršac Hill. It wasn’t a planned trip, more like a moment when I felt I needed peace and quiet.
The paths led me deeper, and I kept asking myself: “What if I get lost? What if I can’t find the way back?” Even though I was on familiar ground, the trail I chose was completely new to me.
At one point, I stopped and listened. The silence of the forest, a bird’s song, the rustling of leaves in the wind — it all felt like nature was whispering to me: keep going. That’s when I realized something important: I don’t need to know the destination; it’s enough to trust the next step.
From that moment, the walk became easier. Fear stayed behind, and every new step felt like a small triumph. When I finally reached a clearing and saw the sunset above Vršac Hill, I knew I had found what I was searching for.
Life often tests us this way — putting us in front of new paths, unknown trails, and silent challenges. And the truth is simple: courage is not knowing the end. Courage is starting the journey. Sometimes nature teaches us the most valuable lessons — if we dare to take that first, silent step.

Pre nekoliko dana odlučio sam da krenem sam u šetnju po Vršačkom bregu. Nije to bio planiran izlet, više trenutak kada sam osetio da mi treba malo mira i tišine.
Staze su me vodile sve dublje, a ja sam iznova sebi postavljao pitanja: „Šta ako zalutam? Šta ako ne nađem put nazad?“ Iako sam bio na poznatom mestu, put kojim sam krenuo bio je potpuno nov za mene.
U jednom trenutku zastao sam i oslušnuo. Tišina šume, cvrkut ptica i šum lišća na vetru — sve je delovalo kao da mi priroda šapuće: nastavi dalje. Tada sam shvatio nešto važno: Ne moram znati kraj, dovoljno je da verujem u sledeći korak.
Od tog trenutka hodanje je postalo lakše. Strah je ostao iza mene, a svaki novi korak bio je mali trijumf. Kada sam stigao do čistine i ugledao zalazak sunca iznad Vršačkog brega, znao sam da sam pronašao ono što sam tražio.
Život nas često iskušava baš tako — stavljajući nas pred nove staze, nepoznate puteve i tihe izazove. A istina je jednostavna: hrabrost nije znati kraj, hrabrost je krenuti.
Priroda nas često nauči najlepšim lekcijama — samo ako se usudimo da napravimo taj prvi, tihi korak.
