At the beginning of the reading, I thought I was reading a poem novel. You have a gift for writing in those genres I think...hahahahaha
Sometimes we realize things in the most unexpected moments and definitely, everyone chooses how to act and live. We are not "gurus" even for ourselves otherwise we wouldn't make mistakes. Nothing is really a certain way, but it depends on the perspective and expectation of each one.
Life has to be lived with our successes and mistakes that in turn give us sorrows and joys, and each one of us has enough strength to move forward, only that sometimes we do not realize it...until awareness arrives at the most unexpected moment.
I thought it was a good read. What an experience yours was! Regards
