The Choice

Sometimes in life we are faced with a crossroads. They don’t come about often. But when they do we tend to just sit. Sit and wait for the answer to come to us. Then suddenly, bobs your uncle it's too late and the choice you had is no longer available. The universe has no time for faffing about. Either you are in, or you are out. Arthur or Martha. But for some reason when we are faced with these choices, we prolong the enevitable decision, even though we know the choices are not going to wait around for us forever.

Recently I have noticed a lot of my friends have been going through what we like to call the quarter life crisis. I thought it might be a joke. But it’s not. I truly believed my teenage years where as tempestuous as it would ever get. And trust me they were! I was a real little rubbish and I truly languished in my teenage hormones. But in hindsight it was much easier. We were NEVER faced with the copious decisions adulthood throws your way. And at such a rapid rate. Life quickly becomes a lot more complicated than you ever thought it would be when you reach the dreaded 25.

Career

Love

Money

Responsibilities

Life

Spirituality

And most importantly, CHOICES. A choice to travel. A choice to study. A choice to marry. A choice to save or splurge money. A choice as to whether you want to start a family or not. A choice where you want to live. And on and on we go down the downward spiral of the pressure the crossroads puts on us to make a choice before it is too late.

But wait….

Hold up I need to get off this darn rollercoaster. I am tired of letting this crisis get me down. I will not be a slave to it. If I want to sit and wait I will. If the choice is meant to be made it will wait for me. I am going to do what I do best. Sit and look at the crossroads, have a smoke and think about shoes.

It’s easier.

Have a smokin’ weekend.
