Description What do you do when your faced with a choice in your life? im not talking about chocolate verses vanilla! I'm talking about a choice that will ultimately effect the rest of your life...and those that love you.

Do you believe in fate?

Do you believe you have control of your life or has it already been laid out for you ahead of time?

Do you see where the photographer in this picture is standing? That is where I am.

I have choices in front of me and all I can do is stand there and look.........nothing comes to me. Blank....cold...empty..nothingness.

Sometimes making the RIGHT choice can be a lonely experience.


This will by far not be one of my most popular deviations...and its not meant to be. This is a product of my thought process for the last few days.

Thank you for your time and your view.

I have been here before , I could continue on same as always doing what I was used to and comfortable with but not happy not inspired, or change direction a bit but still do what everyone expects of me and keep up with the same old stuff.... or I could take the other path which sort of seemed like it was backtracking a bit, going back to school to really learn more about my passion and follow my dream to do something that truly makes me happy but that has no guarantee in which I have no clue what the future holds and is truly terrifying.

Well...

I start College on Tuesday....

The idea it expresses it what makes it art. The sunburst and typography are simplistic, but complement the image as a whole well.

I always hate situations like this. But I think they really made me stronger. I don't believe in god. But sometimes it's really helpful to believe in "something". Whatever you name it or not. To trust in fate isn't childish ore whatever. It can help you to face crisis stronger and more confident. Like readdeath said: when the time is there you'll know. Trust in whatever you choose. Never loose hope.

flina [2009-01-17 07:32:38 +0000 UTC]

This spoke to me instantly because I'm standing right there with you...And I'm afraid to make a choice. Sometimes it's easier just to stand there and hope that something chooses for you...But then again, you know that's not gonna happen...I love this work...It's so....me.

my best advice to give you (yes I read your comment )
is to follow the path that shines bright. and pray for the best


+ suggesting for a DD it deserves to be seen!

Been there Steve! I think I went off on a oblique angle just beyond that yield sign on the other side of the street. If there's anything I can do to help, drop a line. I practice listening quite a bit.
