The Road Not Taken

By Suzanne Marie Punch

" I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. "
-Robert Frost

Life is a journey, a story, that we navigate ourselves by choices that we have chosen. These choices that have lead us to where and who we are today. The choice to go with the crowd, what everyone is doing seems like the best choice.

Or go alone, the most difficult, less taken route. The route that gains the author experience and knowledge. No matter which route we decide to take, we always wish for the route we didn't take. Everyone is curious about what they do not know, or what they do not have, curiosity.

Each person will have their own opinion and route chosen by themselves. What makes each one unique. What questions my thoughts is why they have chosen the routes they have taken. Why we are who we are today?

I believe most would follow the crowd. Very few, I believe, will adventure out on their own, to experience what may be a challenge, since it's the lesser route taken and only by oneself.
