Leaving the World Behind for Those You Love

There comes a point in life when you come to a crossroads and have a choice. Each path has its own stories and outcomes; now, it's up to you to decide which way to move forward. 

But don't worry; not every outcome in life is determined by a single thought or a flip of the coin. They are driven by something that has the power to move mountains, build empires, and, yes, demolish them all the same. Our decisions impact the course of our lives and where they may lead from the crossroads we encounter.

There may come a time when you must leave everything behind and abandon the ship you are sailing for most of your life. You may have the time of your life, surfing the waves, finding adventure in the turbulence and the surprise surrounding your ambitions, a state of mind you can't imagine being without. All until the matters of the heart knock on your door—a call from home, from the one you love, inviting you close. Suddenly, there is a shift. Passions collide, and you need to make a choice.

The thing about choice is that there isn't any absolute right or wrong. The human condition is not painted with shades of black and white but gray, deep and complex hues. It's how you play around with what you have and pursue your masterpiece that matters in the end.

Love is sacrifice. No matter how perfect or inconsequential it may seem, you will have to give up something very dear to you to pursue a life of happiness with the one you love so dearly.

It all boils down to who you are willing to sacrifice for.
