A storm on the horizon
She don't care about time
Time gets in her way
Fades into the wind
Days roll into days
She's got nothing to hide
And she hides it so well
Keeps broken dreams
To fix up and sell
---Tom Petty, "Damaged by Love"
Something is coming this week. Maybe something important, something that could be a wonder or a disaster. Maybe I should turn away now, abandon the very idea, stay where I am. I cannot do it though. Ambition has always burned in my brain, and sometimes risks must be taken. A crossroads looms on the horizon, and this girl will reach it soon. A path will have to be chosen, and there are two choices. The safe one, the easy one, the familiar one ... and the other one. The one full of obstacles, problems, nightmares, but above all uncertainty.
Even if I take that other path, it might prove to be impassable and simply force me to take the easy path. But if it could be followed all the way to the end, there might be something incredible waiting for me. There also might not. Do I dare reach out for that uncertain reward? In a few days, some things will become clear, but I do not know if that will be enough, and I do not know if I will like the answers I may soon get.
