Crossroads
That awkward moment when life is at a contented state and then you end up in a halt which usually settles in confusion.
Confusion may come quick or slow over time, depending on the cause. You may lose the ability to think clearly (of course) and you’d end up weighing a lot of options and deciding how to proceed is so damn difficult.
Life, I know, has uncertainties. Life is always not that fair. Life happens to play games on you. Life has ups and downs. Life is a little hard to manage. Life can be so boring. Life can be so confusing. But most of the time, Life is beautiful.
Sometimes, some roadblocks are created on your journey, mainly because there are lots of reasons why they are put that way. Some would challenge you when life tends to be uphill and the ride is beginning to get boring. Some become a living reminder that you are getting overboard and that perhaps, you are hurting other people and when nature notices it, gives you a slight slap on the face. Sometimes, people made their own crossroads; maybe out of fear forming inside. They tend to create little confusion from the small “what ifs” and the options would branch out. Unfortunate events, at some point, would make us startled; like a sudden power blackout trying to devour a well-lighted room or a time-changing occurrence that would sometimes present us a lot of ways to get it out of the way; and here, we stand, at a crossroad
Time can be frustrating; the waiting game is sometimes crazy. When I found myself, again, at a crossroad, I let everything settle first before making my move (okay, so I wasn’t the only one with this strategy). Weighing a lot of options can be so tiring and so pressuring especially when Time is trying to mess you up. One wrong move and you’d find yourself in another crossroad, where sometimes, regrets happen. I’d wait and wait and wait and of course, I pray. Life is so tricky at times, that’s why you need something, somebody to guide you. Friends and family can be helpful but in the end, your sole decision matters most. Then again, whatever you have decided on, you’re still responsible for making it work. Enjoying life at its best is one of the reasons you are here.
