Yeah, this is what happens in life... Life moves on and sometimes... no... most times leaves a lot to be desired... You are forced to move on in life, leaving the people you knew, behind... Move, move and move.....
I believe the first time when you encounter a crossroad is when you leave school, the langotia yaars, the school teachers who have always protected you and guarded ypu from dangers... School offers a very protective environment which you surely miss when you move out into the real hell... You are afraid of the changes and yet excited... sad too at the thought of leaving behind your friends, you are sure that you will always stay in touch with them... Only later do you realise that this wasn't as easy as you had thought it would be...
Enter the next crossroad of life- College... New friends and new found freedom... Ego clashes and losses... Fun and growing up, tensions of getting into a new life... Trying to find a love for yourself and felling frustrated when you don't... thinkimg that perhaps the fault lies with you... But still managing to have a lot of fun... enter the third year and you are in doldrums at having to loose these friends of yours as by now the school experience has taught that it is really difficult to re-live the memories of the previous mile-stone... you leave college...
The next big crossroad- Job... You land up with a job, people start looking at you with exoectations, your family starts behaving differently... Complainimg that you don't have time for them and things like that... saying that your attitude has changed and you hav become too conceited now and selfish too... When in reality it is not you has changed but it is the circumstances that have changed....
The crossroads come and go and leave ypu with varied tastes in mouth, you want to move and yet try to take that past with you... But time is like sand, it slips from your hand without your knowing that it has moved away leaving you mesmerised, shocked, pained and yet happy
That's life

If you are writing for yourself it's ok... but if you want others to read then try and build a narrative in whatever you write... no one likes to read something that reads like IT department's saral form... even if you are talking about things pertaining to life and its complications, try and add anecdotes, incidents, examples... mere points are of no interest unless you have Freudian magic i.e you are trying to tell something entirely new...
Keep reading and writing...
