We come to it at last, the imminent changing of the guard, the time when i'll finally move out of my parents place and step out into the big wide world.
Daunting hardly sums up the feeling.
And yet rather than a clear and simple path forward, I find myself at a crossroads of a sort, with three possible paths laid out before me to walk down. Three voices each urging me to follow a different path. And I'm not sure which to take...
My parents (read father) have a plan. They've arranged for a charity contract which will involve me writing training material for schools and want me to move up north with some businesslike friends of theirs in order to learn the tools to start my own business. This path has the possibility of wealth later in life, but would mean I would have to part from my soulmate for an unknown length of time.
My Soulmate has another option. I can move in with him, and either work with him in the delivery company or find another job. This path would put me and my soulmate together immediately, where we could live a happy, if not necessarily wealthy life together.
And finally the third path. Throughout life i've had a strong sense of justice, and have repeatedly been called upon to either help friends deal with hurt, or to ensure that this hurt is prevented. My whole life i've wanted to make a difference in some way, bringing justice like one of those childhood heroes....Batman or Athrun Zala. And I now find myself in a position where I could work for the national police force EDT (Education, Training, Development) division with a possibility of transferring to actual detective work (a passion of mine) later on. This would be highly satisfying personally, and would pay rather well, but would again mean I may have to leave my soulmate for quite some time during the training period.
So we come to it at last, a major crossroads in my life where the choice is mine alone to make and the stakes are nothing less than my entire future. Will I risk losing my Soul-mate? Would I be content living poorly with him? Could I stay sane in an unfulfilled job?
I wish I had the answers....but I guess only time will tell.
