Crossroads

There are many times in an individual’s life when they are put at a crossroads.... Almost every individual has faced the high school crossroads whereas they decided whether or not to go to college, or just enter the work force and make some money. Obviously if you’re reading this your probably doing alright.

But the crossroads in life, it’s just like a street light. Some decisions have been made in advance and green lights a shinning down the path, some yellow lights caution you to take your time and slow down and some red lights appear to stop whatever your doing.

Is merely going down Main Street the life that was meant for yourself? Living as everyone else has. Or have you hit a red light and traveled off the beaten path? Coming back days, weeks, or months later with stories of your travels? Or are you just pissed off that the street light scenario even exists? Where as life shouldn't be about stopping and going but rather a straight shot to the finish line.

Its funny how you can view the networks of our culture and turn them around into meaningful examples. One thing I have figured out is that everyone’s life is art. No matter how you approach the crossroads and make your decisions in life there's no wrong way to live out your life.

That is a good point that perhaps some people don't use that traffic light concept when they think about their lives. Sometimes it is just nice to look as things in constant motion with no stopping but maybe redirecting instead.
