Tough sentiment…whether to be abjectly selfish and spirit yourself away to “find yourself” or soldier through a life you didn’t expect or plan for the sake of others. Both come with regrets, so that middle road probably is the best bet.

Hmmm, interesting question. I’d say the middle road would be my choice.

Balance and hope are the middle ground. The people who love you will stand there with you. The middle is the right choice…
