When I Strayed Away…
A honest conversation about leaving the road well know
Life can be such a beautiful experience. There is so much to enjoy and so much to see. We have the opportunity to make new friends and feel all of our emotions differently. We can watch the sunrise and the sunset and watch many lunar eclipses. Nature is an example of love, and the joy that comes from it is outstanding. But what if all these things change? What if the world that we once knew shatters around us? What if life circumstances force you to take a road you are not used to? Can life still be experienced the same way?
Sometimes, in life, we may face a crossroads. The road we once traveled may not serve us any longer because our perspective changed. You may feel lost and confused when this time comes. Either path will play a significant role in the changes to come. The people who once appreciated you may view you differently. This is the most brutal battle in life because what if you lose everything in the growth process? Or do we sacrifice our growth so everything can return to what it was?
Honestly, I wouldn’t say I like this part of life where im forced to choose between myself and myself. Let me explain. If I go back and self-sacrifice, everyone will be at peace with me, and I’ll be at war with myself because I sabotaged my growth. But if I completely let go, then I’ll lose everything. Some even say, “Life will teach me”.
Right now, being present for me is filled with uncertainty. Whatever choice I make will affect every present moment hereafter. So, the picture above is my current view. Foggy and gray. And I may sit here awhile to see what lessons can be learned in this space.
Medium has become my outlet, where I can read different posts and leave comments. I can freely write my thoughts out. There may be a few who will “ rebuke” me because I am considered a lost sheep or, here is a better term, a bastard. However, if that is how you feel, please keep your comments to yourself because right now, I am not in the mindset to say something kind. Please don’t tell me to accept Jesus because I know you may mean well, but keep your Jesus to yourself. You cannot put in your hell because if I’m going there, so are you. So please, don’t. My path right now is filled with rocks and pebbles. I see a smoother path, but to get there, I have to go through this rough path slowly. Thank you all for listening, and I’ll see you soon.💕🙏🏽
