The 'road' of life

Some people are lucky enough to know what they want out of life. They see their goals and they do everything in their power to achieve them. I, unfortunately, haven’t found my niche.


It’s like this. People in life are like cars on a road. You have a starting point and a destination. Some people are fortunate to find the highway that leads them straight to their final destination; some people wander off the path and decide to take the scenic route. Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing one path over another, it all depends on the individual. Some people like to enjoy the scenic route for a while, and then eventually head back to the highway and make their way to their destination, with no more stops on the way. And then, some people like to make their way on the scenic route, which might take them longer, but there’s much more to see along the way.


I feel like I’m stuck on this scenic route, and can’t find my way back to the highway. I’ve stopped and asked for directions, ultimately leading me to dead ends and roads that circle me back 10 miles. I’ve decided to take my road-trip into my own hands now. No more stopping to ask for directions. Just stay on course to get back to that highway, either by man-made road, a trail, or making my own path. I need to start making decisions, even if they aren’t the correct ones. All of those decisions will help me get back to my ultimate goal – my final destination.


I have started making these decisions, most of which only I know about. Some of them, I need other people’s help with, but for the most part, my devices are my own. I’m not going to tell anyone because everyone has an opinion and will give it to me whether or not I want to hear it. So, in not telling anyone, I won’t hear anything back. This is my plan, and I’m sticking to it.
