Crossroads

When you stop going along with the crowd and start heading your own way, you realize that there are things about yourself you hardly noticed before and may not like at present.

You become insecure and often wonder where you will be in one year, two years, five years,but the mere thought scares you because you barely know where you are now.

You ponder your current status, your job for instance. It is not even close to what you’ve imagined yourself to be as a kid.

You have become more critical and judgemental than ever. You begin to draw certain boundaries in your life and come up with a set of criteria detailing what is acceptable or not.

One minute you’re insecure and paranoid and the next, you are cheerful and optimistic. You feel lonely, scared and confused.

You try to resist change and consider it the enemy, holding on stubbornly to the past for dear life, unable to let go, until you realize that it’s either you stay put and shrink like a prune or move forward and bloom like a bud in spring.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over again, and talk to your friends about the same subjects because you’ve hit a brick wall, paralyzed by indecision.

The future is worrying you- making a life for yourself. While beating the odds and securing a better life is the reward for finishing the race, right now, all you really want is just to be a part of it, and everything will play itself out, for better or for worse.

*You may emote now.*
