"The Fork in The Road"...

How many of those do we encounter in our lives? I would think quite a few. It would be safe to say every decision we ever make is a fork in this ever-shortening road. As the years pass, I feel like there have been so many that they have become one big-ass fork. The left fork says, "been there, done that". The right fork says, "going to be a 'been there, done that'". Ya see? Just another damn fork!

I haven't quite decided whether this fork is a stumbling block, or a roadblock, or even a block at all. I have been at this place for a long time now. I can't seem to make a decision on which way to go, left or right. What means more to me? This or that? Probably closer to the truth it is do I give a shit about me, or no? We have all been here. I'm not the first, and even the last time feels like the first time. "Live for the moment" they say. What if you feel you aren't living? 

I believe change is the key factor here. Change can be a stumbling block, or a roadblock, but a block, none the less. CHANGE! We live and we learn, and we become set in our ways with whatever has worked for us all this time. So, change can be huge! For a very few, changes can ease their mind or even soothe their soul. But for the rest of us? Holy shit! It's downright scary. It all comes down to the bare basics, the pros and the cons, for you. It's not selfish to take care of yourself first. If you are broken down, what good are you to anyone anyway? Taking care of yourself may be the most courageous thing you will ever do.
