This world will definitely lay a beating to you if you will allow it.... Still waiting for that next big wave to pick me up and put me back on top. I don't like waiting and treading water and that is exactly what I am doing... my own fault for becoming complacent. My future is bright and it is up to me and no one else to seize opportunity and make something of myself. Time to leave the past in the past and just live. This pack of self imposed responsibilities is limiting my hike through life....
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
