Most people have choices they need to make. These choices can be as small as should I eat breakfast or should I walk into school today and be good? But there are the harder ones like "What religion should I be?" "Should I ask out that girl/guy that I have been in love since grade seven?". These choices can be scary sometimes even terrifying, but yet we are faced with them constantly. These life changing, dream making choices. But what do some of us do? We turn and run as fast as we can! We look everywhere for a place we can hide. But these choices are like the most talented hunters to ever be in reality. Eventually they find you no matter what you do these choices will find you, because if it's a choice we think is worth hiding from it is a choice that we must really have to make.
But why hide from choices?! Why try to avoid the one thing in life that we have the freedom to change. Why avoid one thing we can actually control unlike the weather or the time or the state of other people's minds? Why give away our own freewill? Because we're scarred we'll make the wrong choice? Well how are you going to know which choice is wrong if you never take a chance to find out?! How can you live the rest of your long life not knowing what would happen if you had of made this choice? What would have happened had I told them this. You live in these shadows whenever you don't make a choice. Sometimes, yeah you will regret a choice but in the words of a song it says "There's only us, only this. Forget regret or life is your's to miss". These lyrics are so true! You can't be afraid to take a chance at something, because life can be changed or even taken at any moment. Any moment a truck or a tiger could burtt through your wall and you'd be gone. What happens then? The one thing you always wondered "What if?" about will never be answered!
So go out on a limb! Try something you've been wanting to for a long time or just try something new.
