choices

sometimes i feel that life is like an unfamiliar journey that has no turning back.
the path you choose will definitely bring you somewhere but you'll never know what you may encounter along the way.
sometimes the path may be filled with sharp rocks which hurt the soles of your feet.
and you may weep.
but you know that you want to carry on because that's the destination you are heading to.
sometimes you do something wrong, something that is just not right.
but you still carry on with it despite your conscience.
sometimes you'll reach a crossroad where your path intersects with someone else's.
you may then choose to travel alone or with a company that could make your journey seem easier
or harder.
and when it gets more difficult to bear, you may choose to part or carry on because of the times you've spent together.
or also because you are afraid to travel alone again.
then you look towards your left
and your right
and you'll see others
like you
travelling their own paths.
and it makes you happy because at least for now their paths are parallel to yours.
but you know no matter how similar their paths are to yours, it is never the same.
and sometimes you do wonder
whether you regret making the decision
to travel alone.
