Crossroad ? ?

When you are at a point in life where a decision to go either way makes sense.. You choose the best possible scenario or the one that makes you the happiest.. If only this world is a singular space.. where your own decisions do not influence others.. Unfortunately.. the world does not just revolve around you.. Each decision you make can influence others in a positive or negative way... I try to make decisions to lessen the influence on the negative side.. but my responsible mind continues to remind me this decision is not just about me.. The ripple effects that follow dun make this easier.. Though not as young as I was 3 years ago... Should I consider taking risks while I m young as a good reason to go 1 way over the other? Or is self-sacrifice the easy way out? I've always believed my 25th year (2012) will be a year of change.. I dunno if it is a change of scenery.. change of the mind.. or change in personality.. but change is definitely what is happening.. Whether good or bad.. I still have 3 months to go.. As I can tell right now.. 1 road points to risk.. chance.. n learning something new.. the other is about responsibility.. a promise.. n learning to settle.. realizing the chance to take risks might have ended..
