Choices

If you had to make a choice between your head and your heart, what would you do?

You spend nights trying to figure out where things went wrong, how you can make things better. You're so caught up trying to re-live the past that you completely forget about taking a good look at what the present is offering you. Finally you glance at the warmth emanating from the light in front of you and you're overwhelmed by it. You remember feeling something like that earlier in life. Just this simple thought drags you back to the past. Darkness envelops you once again. You're lost. You know the only solution to this problem is making peace with the past and letting go. You're torn between light and darkness. 

Your darkness was once your light. You're scared of your new found light fading away too. So you just shut yourself out. You try not to feel. You hurt. You cry. You begin to let go and you finally smile while light wraps itself around you. Just as you're almost completely engulfed in it's warmth, darkness sweeps in and drags you back. But, something is different. You notice a small speck of light in that darkness.

You have a choice to make: Do you sweep in and risk everything to help ignite that small light, like you did earlier; or do you chose to live in the warmth of the new found light?
