Crossroads
I feel like I'm standing in front of one. On my right I look down this paved pathway. I can see for miles into the distance and everything seems very safe. There are even flowers amid the green, green grass lining the sides of the road.
On my left is another pathway. This one natural, like a worn path in tall grass. Weeds vie for sunlight on either side, some so large that they are falling over, creating mystery. I can’t see very far down that way.
It’s sunny and very warm, no trees to offer their shade. I know I should make a decision soon, but I am an indecisive person and I simply cannot. I have to think, process, roll around ideas in my head. So I sit. I sit in front of these two lanes and I think. I think with the harsh sun beating down on my blonde hair, turning it a pale white. I want to make a decision. I place my elbow on my leg and rest my chin in my hand, squint my eyes, and bite my lower lip.

This is a very interesting entry,my dear. Obviously no one can make this choice for you. You must follow your heart! Watch me now! I'm about to go completely yoda on you. Still, I'd like to know more about these crossroads. I'm intrigued.
