Do you ever feel like you're at a crossroads?
Like your life is going through some drastic changes? Do the other people in your life (family, friends) even realize this about you if you haven’t talked about it?
I still have a lot of the same goals I have had for a while (finishing school, etc.), but things changed when I met someone last year. As strongly as I feel about this person, I don’t the feeling is mutual, and I am gradually accepting this, although I will always have strong feelings for this person…
The thing is, falling for this person has made me realize how much I want someone in my life…even if it can’t be them. Always before I didn’t feel like I needed that someone special to make me feel complete. Now, I am yearning for someone to share that closeness and intimacy with.
I feel like everything else, while still important to me, is now on the back burner compared to finding someone with which to share my life. Did this person change my heart so completely? Did they awaken something in me that wasn’t there before?

@yankeetooter I do understand your details. But, the question make me wondering.
Im sorry your question is not really fit the concept to your details. My point is what do you means as ‘Do you ever feel like you’re at a crossroads?’
Yeah, @MasterAir16…I guess this is the danger of posting questions late at night…my mind is not as coherent as it should be. What I mean is that I feel like a lot of my perceptions are changing…I quit my second job, my values and my outlook are all shifting, and what I want out of life has changed…and it’s all due to what has happened to me in the last six months with this guy. Does that make it any clearer? If not, I probably need to go to bed…
@yankeetooter I got it and it cleared. While you are middle age, your experience never stop gaining and your perception can be changing from your new opinion or new desires.
I will give you two difference ideas (situations)
1) Again your desires might changes by quitting your second job to seek new experience or more time with your guy that nothing wrong with that. Important as if you are happy as what you have now.
2) Maybe you floating into the air with your guy and you walked off your path from your goal/desire, also gave up some for yourself to being with a guy? if so, then i suggest you to think and make some agreement to make it to the balance and its WIN-WIN situation.
you can put yourself back if you want into what you desire for and open your arm for this guy and hold tight along.
I hope its fit the concept as what you explained?
Yup. Crossroads. Not telling anyone. I have no clue about how to even think about it, much less talk about it. Then again, maybe we’re always passing crossroads. So what else is new?
@MasterAir16…sort of. I don’t think things are going to work out with this guy, unless I am pleasantly mistaken. Even so, I find that my outlook on things has changed, just from having the experience of deeply falling for this guy. I actually quit my second job to have more time for school, and school is still important, but finding someone to share my life with has suddenly become a big priority, where it never was before. It’s like something opened up inside of me when I started loving this guy, something that will never be closed again.
@yankeetooter wow, its tough feeling. you might quit your job, but you should know that there will be more door of oppunites opens ahead of you.
Thanks @MasterAir16, but I don’t need another job right now…I quit it intentionally to have more time for school.
Why yes,I have before,and I do now.
Only this time,I have a map :)
When you get to a fork in the road, TAKE IT!
Yes, I am at one of the most trying crossroads of my life right now and a lot of things depend on what i choose and decide right now. It’s not easy. In fact it never was. But i guess that’s how life is and all we gotta do is keep going.
