Cross Road story:

It was about 11:40 at night only 20 minutes left for me to accept the plane ticket to another country or let the offer expire and continue my life here, probably the biggest decision of my life and its right here in front of me waiting to be answered. Its crazy to think about how this one text message could change my life so much just a simply yes or no could define my life in two completely different ways, and I was about to choose one of them. Before clicking the send button, I thought to myself what happens if I stay? I continue my life as normal Ill go to a local college try and find a good employment and make my life where I’ve always been. But what happens if I accept the plane ticket and move to a different country? I get to start my life from scratch, a new place, new people, and a new life style for sure. What will work for me the most? And why would it? All these questions where in my head as I looked at the time and saw that there were only 10 minutes left until the offer expired but how was I going to decide? I simply thought to myself how will I be the happiest? That’s when all my friends, family and loved ones came to mind, all the good memories fun times and important events popped up as well and then I imagined leaving all of that behind. I immediately realized that I could not do that and at 11:55 at night with only 5 minutes left I rejected the plane ticket and offer and stayed here where I call home and will be happy.
