Junctions & dead ends.

Picture this scenario.

You've arrived in this world & have started your journey on a road called Life. There always comes a time in life where you'd meet a junction, or maybe several junctions. No way can you possibly split yourself to two or several parts to take them all right? So you gotta choose one. There are many possibilities in choosing one & not the other. But you can't help yourself into thinking, "What am I missing out if I don't take the other?". Sometimes curiosity kills the cat & you decide to go against your better judgement to explore, giving an excuse & saying it's a detour, you'll go back on track later. But what if you've gone too far into that detour & it's so far to turn back. And when you hit a dead end, you realize that you've just wasted so much time & effort on what's not the most important priorities in life. You turn around & try to find your way back to your main road. But the journey to leave the detour is out, because this detour has left your worn & weary. You tell yourself to keep going, but you can't help the feeling of giving up. You persevered on nonetheless & made it out with everything you have left & start back on the right path. Only to realize that you've hit a dead end yet again.

What do you do when this happens?

You think you made a mistake by taking a detour. You get yourself back on the right track only to find another dead end. Do you turn around & pick another direction? Or trying to find a way around that dead end in hopes that it's just an obstacle that's blocking you from getting to where you're heading?

Right now, I'm in a position in life where I don't know what I want. I don't know which junctions to take. I don't know what I'm suppose to do when I hit a dead end. I just don't know.

It's like I already have a map telling me where to go. But I can't seem to follow that map. Even with a map in hand, I'm feeling helplessly lost. I don't see this place I'm going, nor do I feel like going there. But I know that there's just no other way. Or is there?

What do you do when life throws you lemons?

Make lemonade right? Or bring out the salt & tequila & get wasted right? I've been there I've done that. Now what? What else can I do when life throws me lemons? Instead of making lemonade or getting drunk, can I take those lemons & sell them? Can I throw them back at someone else? Can I do something else with them? What what what?

I chose to take this junction. And now I've somewhat hit a dead end. What do I do now?
