The energy you give off is not like something I have experienced before. It is new and fresh, and I get anxious but anxiety I have never felt or related to before. This path is something that I have never wanted to walk down, something that I wasn’t ready for until you cleared it for me. I do not know why I decided to follow you down this path, but I am tiptoeing through in hopes that nothing will scare me off or make me regret the decisions or progress I have made.  

Do you see me following behind you? Am I just being paranoid and the only one clearing this path for me is me. The person I’m really following around scarily is myself. The future is endless and there are many paths to be taken. How do I know if your path is the good path? How can I be sure that this path is going to be fresh and worth all the progress I made in the paths before this one? Should I take this new path? Should I stick with what I know? 

We’ve been down this path before, is there time to make a new one? Have I already finished the path you created, turning left when I should’ve turned right. Or maybe it was a right instead of a left, that should keep me going down this path. What if I’m too tired to continue, what if it’s time to stop and find the path that was meant for me, the one I created, will create.
