I look ahead at my future and I am terrified of what I see . I feel like I am suspended over a bottomless pit the only thing keeping me from falling is this thin , thin thread . And then I think of all the possibilities my future has in store for me , and that bottomless pit turns into many roads
I am standing in the intersection of all these roads , lost without a map . I feel the panic flare up inside of me , and I don ’ t know which road to choose . If I pick the wrong road , it could screw up the rest of my existence . Then I remember that I don ’ t have to choose just one road . My future does not have to proceed in a strict line .
I can do everything . I will do everything . My future is unlimited . The many roads turn into a big blank book with me as its author . My future is vast and I don ’ t know what ’ s ahead But I know it ’ s going to be exciting .
