Choices and Responsibility

There are outcomes in life.

Some I want.

Some I don't.

Some,

I want both at the same time.

 

That

is where conscience nags

on heart's desire.

 

Despite good intentions,

somehow I got off on the wrong path

 

...Or not.

 

Turns out my direction,

winding and convoluted as it was,

was correct all along.

 

Why is it so daunting

to follow the heart?

 

Because:

Survival depends on outcomes,

and logic

would have us believe

that outcomes

are entirely predictable.

 

That

is the burden of being

an adult.
