Dreams…
Standing on the crossroads in middle of night, he was making the biggest decision. One road leads to home where he lived but always reminded him of the tough past. It occupied too much emotional space. The other side were his dreams, his ideas and a life waiting for him. A land of opportunity. Just like other people say. This was probably the farthest he’d been from his home in 20 years of his existence. He never got to travel to any land his friends always talked about and today could become the very first chance to break the shackles of past and fly away.
His dog came running as he was still thinking and it made him remember they way his parents managed meals for them, the dreams they sacrificed for his studies and today he was leaving them behind, for his dreams again. He remembered all times his father worked nights and days to get them their Christmas gifts. It came to him and sadly sat in his lap. He kissed it, said thanks and got up.
The lights were still dim. The moon was setting and a new sun could be seen in the east. He couldn’t wait to reach home…
