Choices.

Life offers us a staggering amount of choices; from something as simple as picking what to eat for breakfast to choosing what to do for the rest of your natural life. It's a convoluted mess of ill-informed turns and steep nooks. Like a small drop in the vast ocean, you'll never see the ripples coming from afar with the possibilities offered to you today. 

Unfortunately, we humans are limited in our foresight, but shallow as they are, it is still often bitter struggle in deliberating options which might have long term effects on our lives. Countless what if's threatened to envelop us with any given choice and it all comes down to this; Is it the best discourse available to me? What if I do it this way instead? It is a conundrum with paradoxical implications; we might end up asking these questions in an infinite loop like a badly programmed feedback loop, in danger of overloading ourselves. 

The choices we made make up the molten crucible hardened from years of hardships and generally stumbling blindly. The fiery liquefied metal, once hardened, becomes an unbreakable foundation for the next pouring, and the next and so on so forth. Therefore, we're molded by our own hands into who we are today. Whatever choice we made, be better wise or foolish, we are bound by our own hands to stand by them; leaning on the tempered metal to support our future choices - be it the next grand adventure or whatever trivial pursuits we devote our time to.

You've made that choice. Time to make the next.
