Crossroads

There are times in our lives when we think we are alone... Often at those times we find ourselves at a crossroad.. At points like this, many of us may have given up or are feeling like they are losing at the game of Life and are contemplating which road to take.. Let me describe what it looks like for those who have not been there.. From the person's standpoint of view, there are two roads which splits in a V, the road on the right is a short and smooth road and the road on the left is long and bumpy. The short and smooth road leads to an exit off the highway of Life, or Death, if you call it. The other road, the long and bumpy road, is the highway of Life itself. Many of us have found ourselves at this point at several points during our lives. We often arrive at this point because we felt stressed or depressed, or worse, alone and unloved.. Some of us may have felt like an outcast and felt cut off from the society because of who we are or what gender we love. When faced with this choice, some felt and thought they could not continue any longer and decided to take the exit.. Some, like me, despite temptations to take the exit, ultimately chose to keep going on the long and bumpy road. Why did I choose the long and bumpy road? I chose the long and bumpy road because like all roads, it cannot keep being bumpy, it will gradually get better. And I was fortunate to get two important tools in my journey on the road of life as a Gay Adult. What are the two tools and how do I get them? You may be asking yourself this as you read this. The truth is, you may already have them. One is the map, the map is drawn by advices from friends and people who care about you and your hopes and dreams. The second tool is the guideposts left by those by those who, like, me and you, struggled with life, and succeeded. I am still on this long road and it is less bumpy than before because of the great tools I have. I have an advice for those who are at the crossroads, keep driving, it will get better!
