When push comes to shove

It is quite unfortunate, I find, when life brings us to crossroads where we must choose and choose again, only to find ourselves at even bigger and more difficult pathways to pick from.

Every decision we make it is another learning experience, whether the right decision was made or not, we grow decision by decision, each choice by each choice. But as we grow and decide again and again, why is it that I find myself at an even more vulnerable state and than any other time? I suppose it's natural for that to happen; as time goes by and as we learn, the pressures and stakes grow larger, much more than just petty defiant childish games, when emotions just can not be a factor in any conclusion made.

And as we grow older, we face the similar question of duty and following our own dreams, time and time again. For the lucky ones, they are mere difficult decisions. For some, there is no choice.

Stuck in between a world where I've defined my dreams but now am doubtful of them and a world of the present, where it is so easy to stray from my doubtful dreams... and the last and most important world, a duty of which I must fulfill, I must say that it has not been a great process coming to a final conclusion. It is when a midpoint, a compromise cannot be made, where we have to sacrifice some things for others, our own wants for others' needs, our own dreams for others' dreams. I guess when it comes down to it, like always, it comes down to real priorities.

Some sacrifices were just not meant to be realized... and some dreams were meant to be let go...
