A dream, a wish and logical sense; sweet words and contradicting lies.

This is the cracked road that we all must travel down at some stage in our lives. Do we follow our heart towards that dream that shines to brightly in the far distance down the rocky pathway, or do we hop onto the nicely paved sidewalk that helps us keep stable on our feet and follow the crowd? Lately, this is the crossroad that I have been standing in front of, confused in which direction I should take.

As I envision this journey, to my left I see magnificent buildings as people scurry on the foot paths in front of them and on my right, is a dirt road of uneven levels which lead past a wire fence. In the distance, I see something glimmer like a jewel of hope. The skies are wide and blue, and the clouds dance happily above the scenery although it looks as many have deserted the road once before.

While the dream is vivid and beautiful, the risks along the way are high and I could easily fall and injure myself, but the life seems worth living that way. If I step onto the pavement like everyone else, I can’t even see which direction I’m going to head down. Who knows where I could end up? Perhaps a dead end in an alleyway, or inside a marvellous skyscraper.

The debate within me is one of logic versus the heart and urge to live life. While I know it is safer to walk down that sidewalk with majority of those around me, I feel that I will lose myself as well as the life that I am so happy to live. Yet, at least this way my future can be guaranteed compared to that rocky road, filled with unexpected ditches and cracks. But, at the end of that path is something I could treasure with my entire being – it would be a life I would be proud to live.

So do I choose to ‘live’ or do I become another robot in society? While individuality and following dreams are often encouraged, in the end, we still want the best for our lives and fear the conceptions other people have in their minds about how we are as people.

The answer: I cannot have both, yet it is both that I am trying to acquire. How long will I stand here before my mind will be decided?
