At a Crossroad...

I am coming up at a crossroad in my life. A crossroad that will impact both my career, and my personal life. And it’s hard trying to choose which path to take. I am afraid of making the decision because how would I know if I made the right one? What if I chose path A and that path takes me far away from what I desire in my heart? But how would I know? It is hard to make a choice when logic pulls you in one direction, but your heart pulls you in the opposite way... Which one do you follow? Your heart or your mind? And if you do make the choice, will you be able to live through your decisions and not be plagued by “what-ifs”? I want to be certain, but sadly, life doesn't come with those guarantees..

I guess at the end of the day, I just have to close my eyes, take a deep breath, and chose a path. I have to learn how to make the most out of it. I have to have faith that whatever path I chose, it will lead me to the place where I want to be, teh palce i'm meant to be. And if it doesnt, i have to make the most out of it and move forward. I have to take that risk, and be at peace with it. It won’t be the end of the world. For sure, it will feel like it is. My faith might waver and I might end up questioning myself. I will be afraid, uncertain, and alone. And it does feel lonely when you're at a crossroad, looking at two different paths, trying oh so hard to make the right choice. But if you don't, you'll be stuck at that crossroad, never moving forward.

I have to make a choice, and I have to choose. It’s better than playing it safe and never taking risks, or making difficult choices. Life is, after all, made up of choices, and difficult ones we must make.
