50/100 Halfway
--
The problem in being halfway through something is it not being any less than the tongue-in-cheek glass-half-full-half-empty conundrum. Reaching the top of the mountain isn’t a far-fetched instance — the half that’s practically the starting point of doing things all over again. That is if time is the thing we’re concerned about.
Although, there isn’t a fine line between the starting point and the halfway point — to think that to some people, there’s only a hairline of a difference between the start and the end. It’s also worth noting that knowledge is all relative in this. What we think we already know, we don’t. At least not until we try. Doing things changes everything.
At the halfway point comes a confounding realization that we’re crazy to even begin with and are out of our minds to think that an arbitrary decision will lead us to something far greater than the thing we’ve set out to find. In a place where we see ourselves outside of the end looking in, we ask “Where do we go from here?”
Forward seems to be the most valid of choices especially when, despite all the good reasons to go back, a gut feel suggests that the thing we’re seeking is also seeking us.
