She stood at the intersection unsure of the next step. Turning right takes her to the love of her life. Turning left to her dreams, to everything she ever wanted. This was no road trip; this was her life! She wanted to make the ‘right’ decision!
Taking a deep breath, she contemplated her options, then it struck her – if he was the love of her life why was she contemplating?
It was then she realized that her heart was in love with his mind, she had never met his heart. The love she cherished was never there!
With a bright smile, she turned left.

Such a perfect way of looking at the situation. I never thought to consider this type of reasoning for the hesitation in making such a decision.

Great post! Love is so deceptive I’ve seen people ruin their lives for what they think is love and isn’t at all. Better to follow your dreams!

Some excellent word-play going on in this piece Rashmi 🙂 I was certainly ‘struck’ by it, and in similar shoes would probably have ‘left’ also. Unfair advantage? lol, I doubt it – if anything it maybe makes it more difficult, at a guess 🙂
