Paths

I was walking through life, and had tripped on some pebbles along the way. I had stubbed my toe on a boulder and i got chased by a bird. After a while my shoes wore out and i had to walk barefoot. I stepped on many thistles, and twigs and rocks. But eventually my feet got tougher, and those thistles and twigs and rocks didnt seem to hurt as much anymore.

I was walking through life and i came across a baby turtle, and i helped him find his way to the water. The water was so blue and beautiful and tempting, i had to have a drink. But that blue and beautiful water wasn't what it seemed. I was sick for weeks. Eventually i got better and continued my walk. Though i noticed that i was very hungry for something. So i sat down on the grass and had a picnic.

I was walking through life and a stranger came up to me and made small talk. He walked with me for a bit. Although not long after he arrived, he turned around and went back the other way. It was nice to have some company for a while.

I was walking through life and i came to a fork in the road. I couldn't decide which road to take, i couldn't decide which way to go. I sat down on the grass and allowed myself to just be silent and think. I thought of positives and negatives of each of the roads, but i still couldn't come to a decision. So i thought some more, i thought of all those pebbles i had tripped over, and i thought of all the thistles i had stepped upon. And then i thought of that stranger who had turned around. Either of these roads would be better then turning back, after all i had come all this way.

I was walking through life and i realised, no matter which path i decide on, at least i am moving forward. no matter what there will be pebbles, and thistles and mean birds that chase you and lost baby turtles and strangers that cant bare walking as far as I.

So i was walking through life and i took a path. It doesnt really matter which one it was.
