I’m scared,
Scared that my life will turn out
the way I had hoped it not.
I’m afraid to fail,
to disappoint,
to feel unnecessary pain,
all because of the choices I make today.
What if my future is meant to be
something other than I envision today?
What if my destiny is to take
another path; one I haven’t found yet
( or have found but am too afraid to accept )
I don’t want to die with a million
or more regrets hanging over me.
I want to be able to say to myself,
“I lived my life the best that I could
and I wouldn’t change a thing”
What if I marry the wrong person,
and the right person was a bystander all along?
What if my career path fails
and I’m forced to work three
minimum-wage jobs?
These next few years are crucial
to what I want to achieve in life.
The path I choose today could alter
my entire future, for better or worse.
I must choose wisely…*

There is not ONE person in this world that you cannot live without.

What if you succeed
and still work three jobs?
One step at a time, one day at a time,
you have time
so
take it.

wisely written piece
choosing wisely is harder
but you will do it

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Very wise to think things through.  Forever, is a long time.  Enjoyed your ponderings, BabieDoll.

Oh, yes! Decisions, decisions, decisions! Those big life-altering decisions are the scariest of all!

Work tirelessly for your  heart's desires ~ and keep the faith!

Manifest your dreams into reality! ~ and be brave of heart!
