Prompt #6- Write
a short story about the time you got lost.
My version of getting lost generally comes down to turning
the opposite way to the direction I should be going in order to get where I
need to/want to go. Often this has been coming out of elevators or turning down
corridors. All these experiences have come to reflect times in my life where I
have come to a crossroads of sorts or have had to decide which direction to
take or which option to choose. Many times I have found these crossroads and
have been frozen with indecision or worry, "what if its the wrong
way?". But I have come to realize that you just need to take one path,
being as prepared as you can be for the adventures ahead and if it doesn't work
out then I carry on till the next turning and hopefully make a better choice of
it.
I have learnt many things by taking life’s journey like
this, I have met many interesting and wonderful people as well as some not so
good experiences. But that is life and what makes it so rich. I need to
remember this next time I feel fear creeping up on me and trying to stop me
from moving forward.
Life is too short to live in fear of what’s around the next
corner.
