Sometimes you arrive to a crossroad and you realise the best way to go is straight ahead. There's no point taking a shortcut or follow a sidewalk, you need to keep walking. You can look back and think about the memories your journey has already brought you but you can't turn around and go back in time. Behind you is your past, something that helped to lay the foundation to become the person you are now. You must not regret any minute of it or think what would have happened if... There is no if. This is it, wake up!
Take a look around you; who's standing by your side? The true, beautiful people who always walked with you side by side and not ahead of you, the ones who struggled through with you on the rocky road up the hill and didn't grab you to make their journey easier by bringing you down. These people are rare, they will last until you take your last breath, they are there to make your pain less hurtful, to make your happiness more intense, to understand you without saying a word.
And then you look back. What's there behind you so far away? A few more people, sitting by a milestone looking at a different direction. Your journeys have parted and it's time to realise and accept that - no matter how confusing, upsetting or disappointing it may feel. Forget the bad and remember the good. Always think of them with a smile in your heart but it's now time to let them go to find their own path... you might meet them again at another crossroad and if you don't then be proud that you shared a few steps with them.
