At a Junction, now..

I am now stuck at a junction. This junction has four roads for me to choose from. Any one of them will determine my future course, and happiness. Time is short, and running. And yet i have to have time to choose.

The first road at this junction, is smooth and wide. The road is however, very winding, with uphills and downhills at almost every 5km. The bright side is that taking this option gives the most exciting, almost romantically surreal view. It's either you like the sweet romance that your mind might be fooled into, or you will feel nauseous after the first 5km. No in between.

For the second road, it's a little foggy at some sections. Visibility is not very good. At times, you might even get slightly off track to the side table of the road. The road is friendly though, with it's smooth surface and ample guide lines to the users. It is wide, accommodating, and quite straight, only peppered with the occasional turns, but that too, smoothly bended for good cruise control.

Third road is the one that i arrived the junction in. It is very straight, too straight at times, until being and using it, potential can cause an excited driver, like myself, to easily loose concentration. In worse case, scenario, like mine, i almost sped away like a crazy track racer after losing concentration. It does not help that the scenery along the road is filled with just trees. Green, shady leafy trees, canopying the road, providing shade for the user. It was this greeny arch, if you could compare it to that, that attracted me to this road. With the straightness of the road, one could almost believed that one has found the path to heaven on earth. But as you advance along the road, one will start to notice, little potholes and bumps that are creeping up along the road. Most are small, and negotiable. Some however, are difficult to avoid. Maintenance and repair works are too slow. I for one, am getting tired going through this path, bumping my head once too often, already.

The final option is a very dark road. Visibility is the poorest, and road condition is the worse. Too many potholes, bumps and foreign objects littered on road. No streetlamps, but the air is fantastically fresh. One cannot help but wonder, what is it that make the air so fresh at such terribly poor quality road. Are there traps laid at each bend to lure the unsuspecting me? It will take courage, super human courage to choose this path.

I am at a junction, now. This junction has four roads for me to choose from. Time is short, and running. And yet i have to have time to choose. Each one beckoning, each one terrifying me, too. To take one is to forgo all the others. I have only one chance.
