In life we regularly come to crossroads in which our current path crosses the paths of others we might take. The wonton ideas of fate and destiny do not choose for us which path we will take, that is for us alone to decide. However, we are not allowed to avoid the consequences of choosing whichever roads we map out our lives.
At one such crossroads I stand and I can see from this center point many roads lay open to me. I look back at where I come from and what choices I have chosen to make.
The pains, the regrets, the joys, the anguish of the lost opportinities and dearest friends no more counted. All that haunts me idles there in the past, but I can no longer dwell on that has been but I must look forward to the path I will choose.
My talents and abilities lay open for me so many paths and so many more that I have yet to realize are open to me. From here I can only pick from what I know to be available. The arts, the science, the privateering, the world that only exists as electrons and thought. Where to go from here is where I stand in my life.
I would like to be an artist who's work is appriciated, not for what others will see in it, but for what I want them to see in it. I want to be a scientist who advances the things that make this world worthy of living in. I want to have fun in all things, because I am able to enjoy the simple tasks required to sustain my life.
The artist and player inside me has obtained a bass guitar, and would someday see the spotline of the stage. The scientist would only like to improve the process for which my job requires me to do.
All that I am is simple. I stand at the crossroads where all the choices are ready to be made, the roads are ready to be walked. I just have to choose one.
