Crossroads

Life is about the choice between two paths without having any knowledge of where each will lead. I cannot help but think of the irony in Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken.

Soon as you have dealt with a trying experience, thinking that you are back on the crest of the wave, life throws you a curve ball. It presents you with an equally attractive opportunity/path and here adventurers have the tendency to opt for "the road less traveled". Be it that one refuses to be associated with the herd mentality or whether it is merely an arbitrary & impulsive decision.

Life is riddled with these life changing decisions that define our experiences and in turn our character. I have found of late that these equally attractive opportunities/paths have become more frequent. It becomes harder to decide but I guess there is some solace to be found in the fact with each decision we potential add to the multiverse.

A plethora of parallel realities/timelines where you took the other equally attractive opportunity/path. Thinking of each version of you ought to bring you a smidgen of joy. If not, if it ends up messing with your sense of reality then you have succeeded in not dwelling on which equally attractive opportunity/path was the right one for this reality's version of you.
