Crossroad

There will come a time in your young lives, when the sum of your entire existence will come to a fork in the road. You might not accept that it's come to this. You might break down because, while things were so good, all good things must come to an end and yield to the inevitable change.

Some of you might even wish that would could go back down the path you've come, somehow hoping that every step you retrace, you will re-experience every step as if it was new. It works for one, it fades for two, and by the third step back, you will find you are deluding yourself. History only flows in one direction, and trying to repeat it only destroys it.

The crossroads is your future, and your choice in direction will lead you to your destiny. Don't be mistaken, each path may take you places you may have gone before, but from a new angle, and to a new end. Every step down the new path will reveal new wonders of the world that you had never thought possible, and every leg of the journey is a new piece of yourself to contribute to your entirety.

Don't fear the choices of the future. Time can be like a bad warranteer, taking your most prized possessions or feelings, and replacing them with something different, but of equal or greater value.

Alas, but if only that was true.
