my journey

My journey started off great! I had little to no traffic, a full tank, and A.C. for the most part i had absolutely no problems then, about two years ago, my car started acting funny and just change everything. I hit alot of potholes, my tires went flat, and my A.C broke. I thought that was the end and there was no point of even trying to push that bucket.But then one day i saw an inspiring light and i decided i will walk the rest of the way.I didn't know that this road would be this long, lonely, and tiring. My light seemed dim after a while but i refused to give up again, i will not just lay on the ground while other cars are passing by and running me over.Now I'm standing at the cross roads looking down each of them and trying really hard to pick one.The road on the right is fresh, clean, and recently paved, i cant just go by looks though because i know that road is long and torturous, but i know at the the end of the road is guaranteed success and the life i always wanted.I just don't know how to get to the end of that road.The road on the left however, has not been touched in years but is very short and a little dark. There's a possibility that its success or even a bucket of gold at the end, but there's no guarantee's. I don't want to risk not having the perfect life just because my shoes are busted and my feet are tired, so i guess I'll just have to find a nice shoe repair shop and soak my feet and get to walking.

    By far the best I've read.
