~~~ I remember I started down that path,and I saw the signs along the way. They read..."DO NOT ENTER".... "WRONG WAY"...."DEAD END" So I paused along enough to make up my mind if I really cared,because it was a "Shortcut" Then some people came along and called me back. They showed me a better route,so I turned around and took it. If need be I remember where that other path still lies. This path is much smoother, so I'll stay on it,until I reach the end. ~~~

Twice I stood at the crossroads in my life. First time when I chose this path it laid the foundation of my future life in a definite way. I do sometimes wonder what would have happened had I walked the other equally beautiful path. Where would it have taken me?
The second time I entered the "No entry" zone leaving the straight but difficult path as I was tired and wanted change very badly to keep my sanity intact. I paid a heavy penalty for that and was forced to take the path life had assigned for me. But the few steps I took along that path were breathtaking and the beautiful memories linger on...Those memories alone make the straight rough road manageable.
Thanks for making me take a trip down the memory lane...

I remember how I the path I didn't take seemed magical and exciting. Also I was not afraid of that path but now that I have decided to leave the road I'm on that path seems kinda scary to me but I am determined to follow it just the same. I have already encountered interference and detours but I must find happiness and following on is the only way. I have decided to please myself instead of those around me.

In my early years, there were two paths set before me. I chose wrongly. The path I chose was immediate gratification - an immature action. It has taken me many years to find that correct path once again. I am grateful I found it.

I don't spend much time dwelling on those other paths...there are continuous new paths and choices for us...I try to chose the best path...walk it...live it...make the best of it...and if it is not a good path...I get the hell off it...and I seldom look back at choices that I did not chose...that would be longing for something that never really "was." It was not the best path at the time...so I did not take it...to dwell on it as if it were the best would be falsifying the past....

Since I didn't take it... how would I know what was there, in order to describe it? I only remember the paths I've taken.

It was straight. There were two paths that went through the park. They both ended up at exactly the same place -- the crossing guard waiting to cross us to school. My mother told me to take the straight one, but there was something about that curvy path that was irresistible. Pax- C

i remember the comfort of safety, that by choosing same path as the most, i must be "normal"

It seemed a beautiful path, but I wasn't quite ready for it. I know exactly where it is, as it feels parallel to me even now. Perhaps I'll feel serendipitous enough to follow it soon.

The parties.....and the degree.
I am happy with my choice, and wouldn't trade it for the world. I do hope someday to have that degree though...it just won't be from the college it was going to be from....
I'll always be a Buckeye, though, even without the diploma.
