If you dropped a marble into the pool of my life I don't think that you would see ripples
You would see an explosion of thread and color.
My life is a path spreading out in many different directions, each one so different from the other yet so appropriate. I could choose to go to grad school. I could choose to get a regular job here. I could choose to write,write, write and try to get published. I could pursue Makeup Artistry. I could go to Makeup Artistry School. I could get a second Bach degree in technical writing and make more money.
I could get married and have kids.
I could sell everything I own and move to Europe for a year.
Watching the threads leap and cling to my heart fills me with excitement. Fills me with anticipation. Fills me with a sense of urgency because all of the threads are whispering to start down one of these paths. . . Which one? For surely only one will grant me happiness. Will grant me the answer to life's questions. And noone wants to make the mistake of going down the wrong path.
And you know what? I choose all of them.
<3 :) Good for you, choose all of them. Plus, who says that once you start down one path, you have to stick to it? You can always move over to another path if you find the one you have chosen doesn't make you happy. (And I'm sure more than one of your threads will grant you happiness.) :)
